Читать книгу Elijah And The Widow - Rebecca Kertz - Страница 3

Eli stepped out of his vehicle and tied up his horse.

She blushed. The two-wheeled carriage he’d driven resembled the type used for courting. He grinned when he saw her standing a few yards away.

“Martha! Guder mariye!” He looked glad to see her.

“Gut morning, Eli. Working alone today?”

“Ja. Isaac is helping Dat on the farm.”

“Why aren’t you helping your vadder?”

“He says he doesn’t need my help. I’d rather be here. You pay me to work.” His smile held pure masculine appreciation.

Was Eli flirting with her?

“What are you planning to do today?” she asked as he continued to smile at her.

“Finish a few items on Dat’s list.” He studied her for a long moment. His smile disappeared. “I’ll get to work.”

As she pinned up some towels on the clothesline, she flashed a look in Eli’s direction. What is it about this man that makes me unable to ignore him? She recalled the two men in her life who had hurt her.

Not again. It wouldn’t happen a third time. Not with anyone.
