Love Comes Softly
“She was glad to see the days go by. She hoped that they would go quickly while Clark was away.
When Clark returned on Saturday, Marty was more relieved than she would admit to see the team coming. She didn't know why she should be. Young Tom had done a fine 106 job of the chores she was sure, and she hadn't at all minded his company in the evenings. After supper he played with Missie or read her book to her over and over. He was proud of the fact that he had learned his letters and knew how to read, as did each one of Ma's children, and he loved to show off to Missie, and, Marty smiled, to her as well, she wagered. By now Missie could repeat many of the lines of her book herself as she had heard them so often, but that had no effect at all on her love to hear it again.
They had gotten along just fine while Clark was away, so that had no bearing on her sense of relief to see him home. Perhaps deep down within her was the memory of a casual good-bye to Clem and a later discovery that it... had been the last.MoreLess

Would be better if all the words were on the page instead of the words on the side of the page being cut off, and every time I go to scroll down the page goes back or forward.... To frustrating can’t read like this. Good try thoughthanxWrite Review:
