“We want you to come over for Christmas dinner,” Eve told Marybeth after the church service. “Fred and I want to show you our appreciation.”

“We’re the ones who should be showing you appreciation. We are so much better off than we were before. You have blessed us by letting us live in the workshop until spring. I can’t imagine anything more giving and loving. You two are really precious people.”

Eve hugged her and then stood back. “I needed a friend, Marybeth. Another woman with a child and household to keep. Someone who could understand the woes of life out here. Someone who knew what we’d left behind in Indiana. And someone who loved God more than anything.”

“I do love Him,” Marybeth replied. “He’s all that’s getting me through some days.” She didn’t bother to add that this was one of those days.

Edward and Fred soon joined them. “Did Eve invite you to Christmas dinner?” Fred asked.

“She did.” Marybeth looked to Edward. “Is that all right with you?”

“Sure. I’m always happy when someone wants to cook for me, and Fred assures me that Eve has made quite a few desserts. You know my sweet tooth.”

Marybeth smiled. She did. In fact, she knew almost everything about Edward Vogel.

“It’s settled, then. Let’s go to our house and break bread,” Fred said, smiling.

Just then, the boys and Carrie came running. The boys threw themselves against Eve, laughing.

“My mama,” Samuel said, looking at Carrie. “Not yours.”

Carrie was unconcerned. She wrapped her arms around Marybeth’s legs and hugged her tightly. “My mama.”

Marybeth would have lost her balance, but Edward took hold of her arm and steadied her. They exchanged a look and began to laugh.

“Well, at least we know where that came from,” Edward said, reaching down to lift Carrie in his arms.

She put her cheek against his and wrapped her little arms around his neck. “My papa,” she proclaimed.

“Well, there you have it,” Fred said, laughing. “She’s put her claim on you both. There’s no getting out of it now.”
