Оглавление“Will you marry again?” Samuel asked.
Rebecca wasn’t sure how to answer Samuel’s question. It seemed that everyone had an opinion about whether she should or not, but how did she truly feel about it?
He waited patiently for her answer. Somehow, it was easier to express her feelings under the cover of darkness. She didn’t have to school her features into blankness and pretend that she was content with the way life was. It was easy to confide in Samuel. Maybe it was because he couldn’t see her face.
“I don’t believe I will marry. I find great satisfaction caring for the sick among us. I can be useful and I like that.”
“A wife and mother does the same. There are many good men in our community.”
“I find it hard to imagine someone who could make me laugh the way Walter did. It’s harder still to imagine going through life with someone who doesn’t make me laugh. I don’t think I could abide that.”
“That’s understandable. You’ve played some good pranks yourself.”
She giggled. “I’m a bully. Say it like it is.”
“Okay, I agree with that.”
She enjoyed his teasing. Maybe too much. This Samuel was easy to like.
