Chapter Nine As Micah placed my luggage in the trunk of his car, I returned to my house to speak with Vera. “You know me Vera. I design and try to minimize the odds against its success…and then, make the leap.” “And when it involves the romantic?” Vera took a silver dollar she kept on her desk, and then tossed it in the air. It landed on the floor. “Oh, please!” “Sorry. We both know about risk and chance.” “I know. We both knew this occurrence would arrive one day. And you know I was hoping it would be with someone like Micah.” “I know.” She grinned with glassy eyes. “You haven’t been the same since you crossed each other’s paths. I’m happy for you.” We hugged and kissed for several minutes. “It’s not like we won’t see each other again, “ Vera said and then paused. “You’re in love.”
