"Let Me Hold You Until You Heal "
Joe held Winston in Winston's bed as the man slept fitfully. His hands gently stroked the man's dark hair. Then he hesitantly looked at his bandaged face. " I think you are still gorgeous , " he whispered. " Even now. "

" Let Me Protect You "
DuBuis and Luci washed dishes in the kitchen that night without talking. Then he looked over at her and said quietly , " You were right , little girl , but don't do it again. Lanes don't fight with idiots. And that girl was an idiot. " Luci smiled slightly. " Aunt Faith fights with idiots. " DuBuis laughed as he said , " Yeah but Faith isn't as mature as you are. You're too damn special to be crawling in the mud with people like Zora Mayfield. " Luci looked over at him and was very quiet until she said , " I love you , Uncle D. " DuBuis felt tears filling his eyes. " I love you too , Luci With An I Not A Y. "

" Let Me Pretend For A While "
Andrew lay in bed on his side , his eyes open as he thought and worried about what his wife was keeping from him.
Glory lay on her side of the bed , her eyes also open as she thought and worried about what her husband would say about her news.

" Let Me Shelter You From The Storm "
Faith stood in front of the Washington Reign newspaper machine in front of Joy's townhouse. Her troubled eyes stared at the big bold headline " Cop Assault Trial To Start Next Week ". Then they went down the street towards the small bar on the corner that seemed to be calling her name.
" Faith ! , " she heard from behind her. And she turned around to see the good Reverend Joy Jones standing outside her home wearing a cotton candy pink sweater and faded jeans , her feet bare and her hair pulled back into a ponytail. " Why are you outside ? Come inside. I made spaghetti and meatballs. I'll heat you up some. "
Faith smiled wryly and moved towards the woman she was falling for too damn hard.
