The Milch Bride
“twice during the long night. Even though her own baby had not been as loud or demanding, he had taught her how to grab sleep between interruptions. She felt rested but groggy-headed.
As soon as she had tended J.D. she dressed. This time she took the time to brush her hair and coil it atop her head in a loose bun secured by pins, pins that like the brush, still held dark hair that must have been Donna’s. Fed and dry, the baby fussed about being left behind. Hattie picked him back up realizing sh...e would have to find a way to put him down or grow an extra set of arms.
Primly buttoned to the chin, she opened her door, surprised to be stared at by seven sets of eyes. One of the cowhands held out a chair, and Hattie took a seat, casting a questioning glance toward Jackson. He ignored her and the men turned back to eating and talking, but she could feel most of them peeking glances at her.
Rubye walked behind her, set a cup of coffee by her plate, then took her plate and filled it with grits, eggs, and salt pork.MoreLess
