The Bridesmaid
“Eben wiped his forehead on the back of his shirt sleeve before he opened the mailbox on the front porch of his father’s white clapboard farmhouse. Hoping for a letter from Joanna, he was surprised to find a mighty big stack and wondered why Mamm hadn’t come out to check for mail before supper.
A single letter caught his glance as he thumbed through the ads and bills. Looking closer, Eben could hardly believe his eyes. Leroy’s handwriting—and a letter addressed to me?
Quickly, he opened ...it, holding his breath. How long had it been since he’d heard from Leroy? As best as he could recall, it had been a good six months since his twenty-four-year-old brother had written.
Not wasting a second, Eben walked around the side of the house, peering closer in the dim light of dusk to read the short letter. He felt a surge of excitement at the final lines. I’ll be home a day or so after you get this, and not anytime too soon.MoreLess
