CHAPTER FIVE
“Sarah, that boy feels like a weapon formed against me, but he won’t succeed,” Abby declares, gulping down water like she’s been stranded in a desert.
Sarah throws her head back, laughing. “He’s really gotten to you! He didn’t even offer you water?”
Abby groans. “Oh my goodness, Sarah. He flirted with me the entire time! I asked if he wanted to rededicate his life to God, and you know what he said? ‘Will that make you date me?’”
She shakes her head, exasperated. “Is he trying to commit his life to God or me?”
Sarah wipes away a tear, still laughing. “You two need your own reality show.”
Abby shakes her head. “He’s everything a woman should avoid: drinks too much, sleeps around, full of himself, and smokes like a chimney. His mom must’ve been a saint not to disown him.”
Sarah’s laughter fades, replaced by a thoughtful sigh.
“It’s not easy to turn your back on your child, no matter what they do.”
Abby exhales, reaching for a more comfortable outfit. “He’s so hard-hearted.” She pauses, her expression softening. “Maybe I should start praying for him.”
Sarah nods. “That’s probably the best thing. Only the Holy Spirit can turn that boy around.”
