Eyes on the Unseen Prize

  ***

  On the way home from Bob and Betty’s house, Piper decided to call Cherie. She hadn’t spoken with her much since the incident, so she wanted to check in to be sure that everything was okay. Plus, she wanted to find out how Chase was doing.

  “Hi Cherie. How’s it going?”

  “It’s going fine. Actually, much better than expected. Chase has made some important decisions in his life that will benefit us all. He doesn’t want me to tell anyone yet, but you’ll be hearing about it soon. Believe it or not, I’ve found peace. I forgave my attacker and decided to move on. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but once I did it, I found it liberating. And even better than that, my husband has found God.”

  “I know. I’m so happy about that.”

  “He gives you and Nick a lot of credit. I do too. Thanks for being there for us. I promise you that I’ll be there for you if you ever need anything.”

  “Thanks, Cherie. I’ll be there for you too. Let’s get together soon. I’d love to see you again. Catch up on old times.”

  “Sounds like a plan.”
