"I'm sorry," Ethan said.  "I know this waiting cannot be easy for you."

"It isn't easy for you, either," Leah said.  "I keep thinking back to Rebekah's death.  It happened so suddenly.  And with Neil, we've known for months that he was sick, but I'm not any more ready for him to die than I was for Rebekah."

Ethan reached across the table and laced his fingers through hers.  "We cannot change what God has ordained, Leah.  We may not understand why, but even if we knew why, knowing would not stop it."

"It just isn't fair.  And it makes me mad," she said.

Ethan smoothed her cheek with his palm.  "But miracles happen.  You are proof of that."
