CHAPTER 41

After getting off the train, Catherine ran into the minister who’d performed her marriage. Driving along in his car, Pastor Kelley had almost passed her before he recognized who she was as she hurried down the side of the rural road. She sighed in great relief when he agreed to take her the rest of the way home. She was so close now.
