A Quiet Strength
“Sarah Thompson was three years her junior, and they had never been more than acquaintances in school, but the fact that they had married the same summer gave them some kind of kinship.
Sarah returned the smile along with a shy “Hello.”
“I go past your house every day on my way to work. I love what you have done with the new bay window.”
Sarah beamed. “That’s Geoffrey. He’s very good at carpentry. How’s your house coming?”
“We hope to be in by Christmas.”
“You must be really looking forward to t...hat.”
“I am. Some days I can hardly stand the wait,” said Virginia truthfully.
“Well, Christmas isn’t far away now. I can’t believe how quickly it has come this year. When I was a youngster it seemed it would never arrive.”
Sarah purchased two stamps for the letters she was posting and smiled again. She was turning to leave when the door opened.
Virginia knew the woman by sight only. She was fairly new to the town and lived in the house next to Sarah and her Geoffrey.MoreLess
