sake shave already.” Calvin said as he finished his juice and picked up the pile of clothes he had dropped.

“But Pop. I’m not…” Kingston began but his father cut him off.

“I told you I was getting me some fish today, didn’t I? Now hurry up and get ready I know this little spot not far from here where we can get some grits and fried fish for breakfast.” Calvin said as he plucked clothes off the floor.

“Thanks Pop.” Kingston said walking over to his father and hugging him.

“You’re welcome. Now go clean up yourself; you look like a caveman with all that hair.” Calvin said as he continued cleaning.

Kingston had agreed to go to breakfast with his father but little did he know it would turn out to be lunch and even dinner as well. They spent all day shopping for new fishing equipment and things for the boat. They even stopped at the men’s store where Kingston bought a new suit. Kingston had not expected to be out all day, but he had enjoyed every minute of it. He had needed to get out and get some air.

It was three am and he couldn’t sleep yet again. He sat in his office staring blankly at his computer screen. Kingston could have any woman he wanted because they were constantly throwing themselves at him but he didn’t want any of them, he only wanted Sinclair back in his life. She had brought so much joy to his lonely bachelor life and finally he had someone worth bringing around his family and church too. Sinclair had blended in well with everyone and everyone adored her. They loved her so much that when he asked for help taking care of her everyone was eager to volunteer.

It made Kingston mad that Sinclair would break off their dates to work but seeing her smile after he brought her candlelit dinners made his anger fade away. She clearly had a purpose in life which she worked extremely hard for. Sinclair didn’t have much but she shared every little thing she had. Her past struggles had shown him just how much hard work could make a huge difference in one’s life. He was truly in love with Sinclair and yet he had messed up the best thing that had ever happened to him. He had to find a way to win Sinclair back because he needed her back in his life.

“Lord I need a miracle, I need Sinclair. I need to get the woman back that is to be my future wife. I need her Lord, I need her.” Tears started rolling down his face and he didn’t even care to wipe them away. He was hurting so bad all he wanted to do was hold Sinclair in his arms.

Kingston had let his head fall onto the computer’s keyboard when he looked up and realized he had work to do. He had remembered that his father called Mr. Dunbar a con artist and he knew con artists never played only one game, they played many. He typed Chad Dunbar’s name into the computer and was shocked at what he saw.

“Thank you Jesus for saving me!!” Kingston exclaimed as he took the paper out of the printer and reached for the telephone.

Green draperies hang alongside the floor to ceiling windows in this large living room that was covered with a light gray paint on the walls. A smoke gray sofa and love seat set sat surrounding a square travertine top coffee table with pops of magenta in the flowered vase that sat atop it. A large framed picture of the Eiffel Tower hung on one wall while one of Sinclair’s own paintings hung on the adjacent wall.

“I can’t believe you did that Robyn? That pregnancy of yours has you eating some crazy foods.” Sinclair said looking at Robyn as she sat eating pickles that she had dipped into her ice cream.

“It tastes good to me, you should let me have some of that banana pudding to add to this,” Robyn, said trying to reach over to Sinclair.

“Nope, you know I’m not sharing this.” Sinclair said as she turned away from Robyn.

“With all the different people helping you, do you even know who made your food?” Robyn asked while she and Sinclair sat with their feet up in Sinclair’s living room.

“I know Kingston made this and all the food that is in my refrigerator because I’m used to his cooking now. The church members have been cleaning, doing
