Treasuring Emma
“Apparently he hadn’t left yet. But it was only a matter of time.
She tried to put him out of her mind and headed toward the barn to check on Dill. She’d given the horse extra oats before church—as if that would make up for her lame leg. Spurred by guilt, Emma hurried. As she neared, she heard a tapping sound coming from inside the building, from Dill’s stall. She looked over the top edge of the door. Adam was inside, pounding nails into Dill’s foot.
“What are you doing?”
He looked up at her, tw...o nails stuck between his teeth. Instead of answering, he took one of the nails and hammered it into the metal shoe. He had Dill’s foot anchored between his thighs, but instead of wearing the leather apron a farrier would use, he had on his baggy blue jeans. Dust from Dill’s feet covered his legs. When he finished putting in the final nail, he gently released her leg. She stepped on it gingerly.
“She needed special shoes.” Adam patted Dill’s back flank. The horse nickered in response.MoreLess
