Priscilla and Aquila page 9 by ric gustafson
Aquila found Priscilla at the same stone bench. She was crying. He sat down.
" Priscilla, why won't you marry me?".
She wiped tears from her eyes. " You deserve a better wife".
Aquila smiled. " I want you for a wife".
" You deserve a pure woman".
" Pure?".
" I was with someone at 16".
" The Lord forgives".
" I was also with child".
Aquila cried. " God, help me".
" It's ok". She stood up. " God took the babe away from me anyway".
Aquila stood up. " I need to leave". He left.
Priscilla began to cry again.
