The Promise of Rainbows (2016)
“For a moment, she thought about asking Tammy and Amelia Ann to join them, but that might be too much for Susannah. Her sister was feeling delicate right now, so she and Sadie would have to be gentle.
Of course Shelby wasn’t feeling all that gentle. She’d fretted and prayed something fierce over her sister and Jake, and she wanted a praise report, as their church called it. All she and Sadie knew was that their mama had given Susannah and Jake her blessing to be together, and so they’d…no surpri...se…had a date. Her sister had promised to give more details at lunch.
They met at Husk, one of their favorite places in Nashville. Sadie and Shelby arrived first, and when a waiter showed their sister to their table, Susannah’s million-dollar smile said it all.
“Wow!” Sadie said, hugging her first. “You’re practically glowing. Things must have gone well last night.”
Yes, Susannah looked infused with sunshine, but Shelby could tell it was happiness, not an afterglow. She knew Susannah was still waiting for marriage.MoreLess
