CHAPTER 1: LONELY HEART<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>

\u201cI felt bad for trying to live a happy, full life, while my heart was buried in a dead man’s chest.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I studied the bare spot on my left hand.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I loved my rings and safely tucked them away after I became a widow. My daughter suggested resetting them into a necklace. No way! My rings held a special place in my heart because of the way Buddy bought them for me\u2014I’d never change a thing.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0My late husband, Buddy, called me Angel Face for over thirty-two years\u2014although an angel I was not. Then the ugly spectre of death invaded us, ripped through our lives, and tore my world to pieces. The love of my life disappeared from my arms into the arms of a real angel. His death left a mark on my heart; his ring left a mark on my hand.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Memories flooded my mind.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Our search began at a local jewelry store. One set seemed perfect. The engagement ring was gold with one large diamond in the center and a smaller diamond on each side. The wedding band had three matching diamonds, equally spaced. All the same, when I glanced at the price, I quickly gave them back to the sales clerk.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cWe’ll look somewhere else later,\u201d I whispered to Buddy. The next day, when I opened the door to greet him, he was all smiles, so handsome in his tan suede jacket, with that sexy brown wave in his hair.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cWow,\u201d I said, \u201cyou look sharp, just like James Dean himself.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Buddy bent down on one knee and opened a box he pulled out of his pocket. I was amazed. Sparkling like a thousand stars, the set of rings I had loved.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0He was always full of surprises. Humor was the quality I missed most. We had laughed together and held each other through heaps of hard times.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Nothing prepared my heart for widowhood, and the tough times at a table set for one, and climbing into an empty bed with only my pillow to hug. Alone thoughts consumed my days.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0A few months later, I moved in with my daughter, Lynn, and her husband, Alan. They worried about me living alone in my house on forty acres. I was grateful for their invitation. They had converted their downstairs into an apartment, and it suited all my needs. Before I moved in with them, I auctioned off my excess stuff, and a 28-foot Mayflower moving van put the rest in storage. The Realtor placed a for sale sign on my property.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Lynn and Alan made me comfortable, although I felt in the way. I wondered if I’d ever enjoy love again, especially since I qualified for AARP. I didn\u2019t consider myself old. Lynn\u2019s full-length mirror proved that my daily walks maintained the right weight for my height.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Slowly, my grief over Buddy\u2019s death healed.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I became preoccupied with finding someone special to share life with\u2014a man to love and laugh with after the parties ended. Thoughts on Internet Dating crept through my mind. My three kids didn’t approve.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cMom, predators and psychos troll the dating sites.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cPeople can say anything. You never know who’s hiding behind the computer.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cYou’re an easy target.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Despite their warnings, my longing for a relationship deepened. I had plenty of life to live. I planned on seeing the world, going to Hawaii, relaxing, and enjoying life.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The long days of winter were over. As usual, it brought a freshness of life with buds on trees, green shoots popping through the earth, and the fragrance of spring in the air. I raised my eyes from the computer and glanced out the window. A bluebird flew by, scouting for a mate. Life and love start anew. When I could no longer resist the urge, I uploaded my profile to a few dating sites. My headline flashed across the top, beside my picture.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cHopeful Heart, Looking For Honest Guy.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I hoped my smiling face and sparkling profile would bring responses. A couple of friends said I favored Helen Mirren with my shoulder-length, naturally wavy hair. With any success, the resemblance would at least snag a guy\u2019s attention.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0As I read through the men’s profiles, I noticed that a few old geezers were looking for cooks and maids. Even though cooking is one of my passions, I didn’t want a potential match knowing this until his intentions were clear. I wanted a relationship, not a job.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I awaited a response.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0However, finding a suitable man was much harder than I expected. A few guys replied, but nothing clicked. I mean, if a guy wanted any woman between nineteen and ninety-nine, well, he wasn’t particular enough for my needs. After four months, I had reached the point of putting my search to rest.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I wondered. Should I remove my profile and be done with it? Am I meant to live the rest of my life alone?<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0One by one, I started deleting them. On my way to the last dating site, an email from the administrator flashed on my screen.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cHi, Wanda\u2014Lanny sent you a smile. Pick up your smile now or log in to read his profile.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Curiosity won. I logged in to the dating site and clicked on \u201cGet My Smile.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0His name was Lanny, and his tiny picture appeared decent. From what I could make out of the one-inch headshot, he looked almost bald\u2014except for gray hair at his temples. He had a full, gray mustache and wore large-rimmed, tan glasses. \u201cMay I instant message you?\u201d he wrote. \u201cI’d like to get to know you better.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I pulled up his profile. The first sentence stated that he loved the Lord. He’d been saved since age fourteen. My relationship with the Lord began at age twenty-eight. Finding a Christian match was my top priority. Sudden negative thoughts dampened my spirits.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Don’t get too excited. Lots of guys call themselves Christians on dating sites. Still, when they answer the question of how often they attend church, most of them check \u201cNever.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I read on.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Lanny’s profile stated that he enjoyed going to worship every week, and he read his Bible daily. He even sang in the church choir and belonged to a traveling gospel group. Sitting beside a man in church and sharing a songbook topped my list of favorite Sunday activities. I scanned for his age\u2014we were both sixty\u2014another plus for him. The mirror to the left of my desk reflected my wide smile. Could Lanny be the one?<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0As I read on, I learned that we shared broken hearts. He\u2019d lost his wife to cancer two years prior, only two months after I had lost Buddy. My heart felt warm and fuzzy about him until I read the next line. The gulp of hot chocolate in my mouth spewed everywhere in a coughing fit.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0He lived in Ohio\u2014almost 500 miles away. A relationship wouldn\u2019t work unless he didn’t mind driving the distance. I figured the connection was over before it even began. With my index finger poised over the delete button, I leaned in to remove his profile when something caught my eye.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cI’m an easy-going, likable guy with a good sense of humor.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Humor was a huge factor in Lanny’s favor, but how could we overcome the distance barrier?<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Lynn hollered down the stairs, \u201cMom, would you like a bowl of butter-pecan ice cream before bed?\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Bed? The time had raced by. I struggled to pull myself away from Lanny\u2019s profile, but couldn\u2019t help wondering. \u201cI\u2019ll be up in a minute.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Lanny claimed his past relationships taught him that honesty, kindness, and taking things slowly were the best ways to go. His profile contained tons of the qualities I desired in a man. He also came across as intelligent, and that ranked high on my list. In fact, the more I read his profile, the more I longed to connect with him, but I wanted to pray about it overnight before answering.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0My feet almost skipped up the stairs. Lynn asked if I had found anyone on the dating sites. \u201cMaybe,\u201d I said coyly. I didn\u2019t want to say anything until I was sure.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Lynn watched me eating ice cream. \u201cYou seem happier than usual, Mom.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0My nonstop chattering must have given me away. \u201cI guess it\u2019s fun communicating on the dating sites.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0After our snack, I said goodnight to Lynn and headed downstairs for bed. Sleep was long coming. My mind wouldn\u2019t stop wondering about the guy behind the tan glasses.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0First thing the next morning, while still in my robe, I booted up my bedside computer and pulled out my padded office chair. As I sank into the comfortable cushion, I realized my comfort zone was about to sink into the unknown. Nevertheless, time is a thief, and it wasn’t raining men, so I continued.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0An email from the dating site popped across the screen. \u201cHi, Wanda\u2014Lanny sent you a smile.\u201d I logged in and found three more messages from him. They all read the same way. \u201cI liked your profile. May I instant message you? I’d like to get to know you better.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Butterflies fluttered in my stomach. I’d never used instant messaging. My typing ability consisted of two fingers poking around for letters and numbers.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I sent a return smile. \u201cGood morning. I would like to get to know you better, too. I’m not one for instant messaging, though. I’d rather pray about it first and send emails through the dating site, if you’re still interested. Have an awesome and blessed day.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cOkay,\u201d he wrote, \u201cif you’re more comfortable with email through the site, that’s fine with me. Yes, I’m interested.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Within seconds, the dating site sent me a message saying, \u201cClick Alert! You Both Said Yes! What are you waiting for? Log in to start a conversation.\u201d Before I had a chance, another email from the dating site appeared. \u201cLanny sent you a card.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The card had a picture of a yellow mug with a smiley face. \u201cThank you for making me smile. I would like to get to know you better. Here\u2019s my email address. Take care, and God bless you, Lanny.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0With bated breath, I typed my first message.<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cHi, Lanny, thanks for the cards and smiles. I see you’re an early riser. I’m a morning person, too. I enjoyed reading your profile. It’s a pleasure finding a man who loves the Lord.\u201d I took a deep breath, and with my hand on the mouse, I clicked \u201csend.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0And faster than it takes to summon courage, a charming sociopath entered my life.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
