around, heading for the
kitchen to fix Eve her favorite dessert. Mom always made our
favorite food when things made us sad. Must be the Italian in her.
She thought everything revolved around food. Trey loved to hear her
break out into Italian when she wanted to curse his dad out. As if
we didn’t know what she was saying, since she taught us all from
the time we were little how to speak Italian.
    Trey couldn’t believe how much Eve looked like their
mother but she acted like their dad. She would make a great
detective, however, she wanted no part of the police force.
    Trey hoped that being gone a few days would take his
mind off Shana. He needed to sort his feelings out for Faith. He’d
held on to Shana for all these years, wanting her to come back.
Always remembering the day she died. He loved Faith and he wanted
her in his life forever but he’s so afraid he’d lose her that
instead he’s pushing her away from him. That’s not fair to him or
Faith, so when he came back, he’d have his heart straighten out,
and there would be no one but Faith inside his heart and soul.
    He stood looking out the window in the kitchen as he
finished dinner. He had a beautiful house, however, it was only a
house if he couldn’t have Faith and her love to help him make it a
home someday. He hurried to finish dinner for Eve and Faith.
    He picked up his cell.

CHAPTER SEVEN
    Trey
    Trey loved chatting with Eve. He called her this
time not to chat, but to tell her to hurry and toss some clothes in
a suitcase.
    He said, “Faith sprang her foot and she needs you to
visit with her for about a week. I’ve a job that will take me away
and she’ll require your help.”   His job was extremely
demanding.
    Eve wondered what happened between him and Faith
now. They loved each other so much. He said they weren’t back
together and the only thing he explained to her was he wanted her
to help Faith while her ankle heals.
    Trey understood Eve needed protection too, and he
hoped the security at his home would be decent enough. He made Eve
learn to shoot a gun almost a year ago. He worried Faith would be
taking care of Eve if something bad happened because she’s a
take-charge person.
    Eve drove her car for the hour-long trip to Trey’s
house.
    She told Trey, “It’s a beautiful evening, so I don’t
mind the drive. I hope you fixed dinner Trey, I’m famished.”
    As Eve drove to Treys, she reflected back to her
last two boyfriends. She found her cell phone in her purse.
Glancing down, she entered in the number that she’s committed to
memory. Dereck answered, Eve half smiled, saying, “Hi, sweetie,
Trey called and I need to spend a few days with Faith at his house.
She needs my help because she injured her foot today. You’re
welcome to visit or stay over with us if you like.”
    She heard Dereck softly say on the other end of the
phone.  “We spoke about our relationship the other night. We
mutually agreed to be friends. I think it’s too early to hang
out.”
    Eve agreed with him and hung up. Her relationships
appeared to go nowhere lately. She’s not considering a long-term
commitment. She’s protected her heart good since Justin left her
and went back home to Italy, and he was tough to get over. Eve knew
she’d love again one day, but not now.
    She thought Faith was awesome and couldn’t wait to
visit her. Eve wondered how to get them to understand each other’s
needs. Trey and Faith’s love came only once in a lifetime. Though
Trey loved Shana deeply, she’s gone and he needed to move on. She
wondered where he would be going now, but she knew he wouldn’t tell
anyone.  She knows Trey still loved Faith and she could
understand how he loved her because she loved Justin the same
way.
    She reflected back now on the love they had and it
was good. After a tough day, she always thought Justin would be
there for her. Love doesn’t always work out as we planned. Eve
believed bad things happen to us sometimes to help us grow into
