Mail Order Mistletoe (Brides of Beckham book 17)
“"You've worked hard today." Meg turned to him with a smile. "I did. All of your clothes are clean. You won't have a hard time finding anything to wear." She planned to do just a bit more laundry the following day, because of the clothes they were both wearing. She wanted everything clean. She knew it was silly, but she didn't want to have to deal with the filth she'd dealt with that day ever again.
"I'm impressed. I know women's work isn't easy, but you've done so much you make it loo...k simple." He sighed. "I'll be ready for dinner as soon as I've milked the cow." Just as he turned to leave, he heard a soft meow. Turning back, he frowned. "Was that a cat?" She nodded. "I found a kitten in the bushes. She seemed hungry so I brought her inside." "I'm not really fond of cats." He didn't hate them, but found them relatively useless.
"You live on a farm. I've seen a mouse here, and the cat will take care of mice, and she'll keep me company. I don't think I can get by well without some kind of pet. At least until children come." He frowned. "I suppose you can keep her." "Thank you!" she said, a huge smile on her face. "Do you like buttermilk?" He blinked a few times, trying to understand her question. "Not particularly." "I'll let Beth have it then." "Beth?" "The kitten. I was named after Meg in Little Women, so I named her after Beth. You know, the sister who died." "I have no idea what you're talking about, nor am I sure I want to. I'll be back with the milk." He walked outside, closing the door behind him.MoreLess
