Chapter 8

Rebecca was surprised that she felt almost normal the next day except for the lingering headache. Quietly she dressed and headed for the kitchen.

She smiled when she saw Grady already stoking the fire and he returned the grin when he saw her. “You’re feeling better,” he offered, moving the large coffee pot into place on the hob.

“Yes, thank you.” Her eyes lingered on his for a moment, their pale blue gaze thoughtful.

“Oh, you’re already up.” Sara came through the back door with a bucket of milk in her hand. “You must be starving/ I’ll get breakfast started.” She moved to the large milk container in the corner and poured the contents of the bucket through a cheesecloth and strainer.

“I can help,” Rebecca offered.

“No I think today will be your day off,” Sara said pertly. “Perhaps we’ll even go to the Grist Mill for lunch. The men can settle for their dusty old sandwiches.”

Rebecca smiled despite herself. Sara was so full of life, it was somehow uplifting.

“Someone mention breakfast?” Rafe asked, clomping down the hall already dressed in his work clothes.

Rebecca felt silly sitting at the table and being waited on, but she sat drinking her tea meekly after the other three shouted her down when she tried to help.

“I really am fine,” she whispered across the table to Grady while Rafe went to fetch the eggs.

“I can see that,” he answered, back leaning toward her conspiratorially, “but it will make them feel better. Sometimes people like to do things for their friends.”

Breakfast was over so quickly it seemed no time at all until the house was quiet.

“Hello?” a tentative voice called down the hall from the front of the house a little while later.

“Oh, Janine!” Sara rose to her feet, hustling to the door. “I’m so glad you’re here.”

“You are?” The young woman sounded truly startled.

“Yes, Rebecca and I are going to the Grist Mill for lunch today and you can come with us.”

“Oh, that sounds lovely.”

“Hello Janine,” Rebecca offered as together the two women arrived in the kitchen. “I’ve never eaten at the Grist Mill yet. Is it good?”

“Yes it is,” Janine replied. “They don’t have a huge selection but the food is good. I especially like the new baked goods. I wish I could make bread like that man.”

“What a wonderful idea,” Sara stated.

“What idea?” Rebecca and Janine answered as one.

“We’ll make bread today. I’ll teach you how.”

Janine looked almost panicked at the idea. “But I can’t even make biscuits yet. How can ever make bread?”

Rebecca placed a hand on the younger woman’s arm. “We all have to learn new things as we move through life. There always seems to be something new to learn.”

“Alright, I’ll try.” Janine smiled.

“We’ll need to build up the fire first.” Sara offered. “Put your things down and I’ll show you.”

“I know how to build a fire,” Janine replied. “Bruno showed me that right away.”

“Yes, but do you know how to check that it’s the right temperature?” Sara’s green eyes twinkled knowingly.

“Oh, I see.
