“Then go to Ethiopia and return to Jerusalem when you’re ready,” Solomon said.
“But I am ready now.”
“You want to take my daughter to Ethiopia?”
“Just while we rebuild. I would also like to visit Father Hadane.”
“We can marry here, Father,” Rebecca said. “A Jewish wedding.”
He frowned and faced the Temple Mount again. “You have made a mess of my life, Caleb. Do you realize this?”
“Yes. Yes, sir.” Caleb stood and stepped towards Rebecca. “But what gets torn down may be rebuilt. I am confident you will rebuild your faith, as I have mine.”
Caleb smiled and took Rebecca’s hand. “I think it’s time to begin building, don’t you?” he said.
Solomon turned around and looked at his daughter. For a long time none of them spoke. When Solomon finally did, his voice was soft and introspective.
“Perhaps you are right, my friend. Perhaps you are right.”
