Caleb's Blessing
“Now everyone’s walking around on eggshells, and Caleb is stuck to my side like he’s afraid that I’d run off again.
“Caleb I can peel these, go on outside and do whatever you’re supposed to be doing.”
“Nope, I’m not needed out there.” He peeled one more potato before dropping it in the water, but he couldn’t quite hide the sigh that escaped him.
I knew why he didn’t want to leave and I felt even worse, because now I was taking him away from his work. I’d been here two days and already I was causing problems.
“I’m not gonna try to leave again.” I said the words softly as I reached across him to drop a potato in the water. He didn’t say anything for a good minute and I was afraid of what he would say when he did speak.
“That’s not why I’m in here baby.” His voice always has this tone that somehow wraps around me and makes me feel safe.
