Andrew became serious. He knew Mariah so well, and knew that she was ready to break. Her emotional pain was a weight she could barely handle. Andrew changed topics, the emotional could wait until after she had composed herself and had a chance to concentrate on the business at hand. "Anyhow, we do need you to buy us some time. Please call work, let them know you were not kidnapped. Take some time off until we figure this out. We need to go shopping, and you cannot be dressed like that, those clothes are too big for you. Also, I do not want to be arrested when we go out. Please call."
Three hours later, they were at a local discount store getting clothes and essentials to last her two to three days. She had refused to go to her place to get anything. That was her safe heaven, and as soon as she could manage to get away, she would. It should take no more than two or three days for the guys to lower their guard. She would forgo the make-up. They deserved to see her at her worst for turning her life upside down. She knew that she was unlovable, and the guys meant well, but they just probably wanted her to go back for Rosalyn's sake. And the only reason Rosalyn wanted her back was because she was worried about what people would say. Impressions were so important to Rosalyn. She had never loved her, she only did what was expected.
Andrew knew that she would bolt, given half the chance. He was going to have to be diligent in keeping an eye on her. She could not go back. God, how am I going to keep her safe? As he thought the words, he realized that it was not him, but God who would keep them save. He just had to trust, pray for guidance and be willing to listen to what the Almighty had to say ... Be still and know that I am God.
