Lilly's Wedding Quilt
“Jacob entered the warm, morning-lit barn where Seth was tending to the mare’s wounds. It had always been like this between them—an unspoken ability to understand each other and to not have to ask too many questions. But he didn’t feel in the mood to give answers he wasn’t sure of himself.
“You should have got me up.” Jacob rubbed absently at his shoulder which had ached all night, leaving him drained and irritable.
“I guess I should have.”
“What does that mean?”
“Nothing.”
“What happened? Was s...he upset?”
“You mean your betrothed? Nee. We just—talked. She was fine.”
“Well, gut then.”
He blew hot air through his cheeks and lifted a bucket of feed with one hand. He felt like he had the beginnings of a cold, and recollecting Mrs. Lapp’s reaction to the engagement made his head throb.
“Don’t hurt that shoulder any worse.”
“Don’t worry about me, little bruder.”
Seth snorted. “Right. Now, tell me—why the engagement?”
Jacob put the bucket down and rubbed a hand on Thunder’s neck.MoreLess
