“I have. Not often, mind you—didn’t dare. An urchin going before the King, as it were. But when I prayed, He answered—He brought me to Pauly, to you and Rosie and the others. And it’s made me think. Peter said something before he left about God calling us, drawing us while we’re still sinners. And I wonder . . . I wonder if that’s what He’s been doing all along. Calling us to Him. To His work. If maybe that’s what He’s doing now, providing us a way out of the life we made for ourselves.”
