grass and the helping out you
do when we need just about anything fixed, you’re here as much as I am.”

 
    It was true.  Even
though Connor didn’t go to church regularly like other people, he still
volunteered his services at times.  He’d seen his dad do it all the time
when he was a kid.  Connor might not have been the most deeply religious,
but he did his little bit.  If God was real, then that would have to be
enough.  

 
    “Just doing my part. “

 
    “Good.  So it
sounds like you’re stressed.  Anything I can help with?”

 
    “Not unless you know a
way to turn the bottom line of my business around without any money, visitors,
and a building that is in need of a lot of reinforcement.  Lately it feels
like I’ve been struggling just to patch up the holes in the place.”

 
    “Well it’ll work out.
 I’m sure of that.”

 
    “I know but speaking of
the house, I gotta get going soon.  We finally got a guest and from what
Libby just called and told me, it’s some city girl who is demanding to speak to
management right away.”

 
    Remy slapped him on the
shoulder and laughed.  

 
    “Sounds like a fun time
for you tonight.”

 
    “Yep.  See you
later.”

 
    “Yeah.”

 
    Connor walked back to
his truck and got back in.  Before driving off, he saw Remy grabbing more
letters and putting them on the sign.  Even though it wasn’t complete, there
were only a few letters missing and anyone could tell what Remy was spelling
out.  Connor only shook his head while reading it softly.  

 
    “God is still in the
miracle business.”  

 
    Connor didn’t doubt that
God still did miracles.  It was just that he’d never seen them.  He
was big enough into church when he was younger to know the multitude of miracle
stories that were constantly recounted, but he was starting to become the kind
of person who just didn’t think that was something that happened these days.
 No.  If God wanted Connor to believe in miracles--He’d have to show
him to his face.

Chapter Four

 
 
    The new room Tessa got
seemed to be better than the old one.  At least in the leaks department
but she didn’t want to call the new room a success just yet.  Who knew
what could possibly blow up on her next.  The bottom line was that this
was the last way she wanted her first break from work in years to start.  

 
    Tessa stood and looked
at herself in the bathroom mirror.  She was lucky that she and Libby were
so similar in size because the other woman shocked her when she lent her a tee
shirt and jeans to wear for the evening.  That was definitely better than
her walking around all night in a swimsuit.  

 
    After sifting through
her bag, she’d found that there were still a few items of clothing that were
salvageable.   She held up her favorite pink blouse and examined it.
 To her dismay, it would be one of the casualties of the leak.  

 
    I’ll never be able to
wear this out again.   Five hundred dollars!

 
    Tessa heard a knock on
the door and began grabbing the clothes that weren’t ruined.  Tessa
shouted out towards the door.

 
    “Coming!”

 
    Libby said she’d be up
in a bit to take whatever clothes she’d found still worth keeping, promising to
run them through the washer and dryer for her.  Tessa opened the door
without thought, still talking.  

 
    “This is all I’ve was
able to f-”

 
    She stopped when she
realized it wasn’t Libby at the door.  It was the gardener from earlier.
 

 
    “Oh I’m sorry.  I thought
Libby would be coming up to get my stuff herself.”  She reached out to
give him her stuff.  “This is all I was able to find.”

 
    “Huh?”

 
    “Did you not understand
what I said?”
       
    “What?”

 
    “Oh. So you do speak
English?”

 
    “Yes I do.”

 
    “Then why are you
looking at me like you don’t understand what I’m talking about?  Are you
here for my clothes or
