"Mind if I sit with you?" Nathan
towered over her holding his own
heaping plate of food.
"Are you sure you’re not afraid to?"
"I think I’ll take my chances."

There’s that smile again. He really is
going to have to stop doing that!
She thought as he claimed the spot
on the grass next to her.
"So . . .," a teasing glint flickered in
his eyes, "you’re Paige, the drama
queen." He refered to the
nickname the kids had given her.
Paige laughed. "Yes, that would be
me, all right!"
"Well, I’m pleased to meet you. I am
really looking forward to working
with you."
"Same here."
After a moment's pause, Paige
leaned over and looked at the
contents of Nathan's plate. "No
salad?"

Paige burst out laughing and Nathan
followed suit.
Paige and Nathan would tell the
story, for many years to come, of
how God brought them together
with a cookout and one giant bowl
of salad.

"No, I had
some earlier."
He chuckled.
"There’s still some
in my shirt pocket
as a matter of fact.
I am planning on
eating it later."
