thinking of proposing to Geanie but he had been afraid to because he felt that danger had been stalking him because of all the things that had happened. Cindy had reassured him that if anyone was cursed it was her and not him.
    If it was someone coming after Geanie trying to get at him then maybe all his fears had been justified. She couldn’t let herself think like that, though. She couldn’t let him think like it either. For all they knew at this point it really could be coincidence. Or maybe someone had a grudge against the bridal shop and Geanie just happened to get in the way.
    She wanted to call Mark and find out if the police knew anything yet about the driver of the car that had nearly hit them. She knew he and Jeremiah were with Joseph, though, so it would be best just to let them get their business done.
    A minute later the doctor stepped into the hallway. “We’re going to keep her overnight for observation. At this point, though, I don’t see any reason why we can’t release her in the morning.”
    “That’s good news, thank you.”
    He shrugged. “We’ll see what the morning brings.”
    He left and Cindy went back into the room just as Liam was stepping out. “I’m going to call Mark and see if he wants to post officers outside the door tonight,” he told her.
    She nodded. She had a feeling the answer was going to be ‘yes’ unless the detective had learned something new.
    “They won’t let me leave until the morning,” Geanie said, looking distressed as Cindy walked up to her.
    “So I heard. It’s a good thing, though. You need the rest and they can keep an eye on you and make sure you’re okay.”
    “I’m fine. I don’t see what all the fuss is about. How did I hit my head anyway?”
    “What do you remember?”
    “I came out of the shop to get the slip from you. I was at the car and there was some kind of noise and then I woke up here.”
    Cindy picked up Geanie’s hand. “There was an explosion in the bridal shop. It threw you against the car. I think that’s when you hit your head.”
    “An explosion?” Geanie asked, turning pale. “What kind?”
    “I don’t know what set it off.”
    “It had to be big to knock me into the car.”
    “Very big.”
    Geanie blinked. “The owner and the seamstress?”
    Cindy shook her head. “There’s no way they could have survived the blast.”
    Geanie stared at her for a moment in shock and then began to cry. Cindy wrapped her arms around her and held her close.
    “I never liked either of them,” Geanie sobbed after a moment.
    “I know, neither did I,” Cindy confessed through tears of her own.
    “But I never would have wished them dead.”
    “Me either,” Cindy said, hugging her tighter.
    “If it hadn’t been for forgetting my slip, and you not being able to get parking, I would be dead to.”
    “I believe that God has a plan for each of us. It wasn’t your time and He was going to do whatever He needed to make sure you weren’t in that store when it happened.”
    When they had both stopped crying Cindy handed her phone to Geanie. “Joseph wanted to talk as soon as you were able.”
    Geanie took the phone gratefully and Cindy walked back outside where she joined Liam in the hallway.
    “Figured you ladies could use some privacy,” he said sheepishly.
    She smiled gratefully. “So, what did Mark say?”
    “He’s called for an overnight protective watch, handpicked the men. As soon as the first shift gets here we’re free to leave.”
    Cindy nodded, realizing just how tired she was.
    “He also said that once she’s released in the morning he wants her staying at Joseph’s because of his enhanced security system.”
    “She’s not going to like that,” Cindy warned. “She’s got a lot left to do for the wedding and some things she’s trying to keep as a surprise from Joseph. Plus, if it gets out she’s staying there I’m sure tongues will wag.”
    “Not if members of the bridal party are staying there, too,”
