Chapter 19

On Wednesday night, Tulip decided she should have a quiet word with Nathanial before he came inside the house. That way she could possibly diffuse a bad situation before it happened. She watched the driveway from the living room so she could be first outside to speak with him. The twins were in the kitchen helping their mother with dinner when a buggy pulled up. Tulip raced outside and met Nathanial as he jumped out of the buggy. She looked around for Matthew.

“Hello, Nathanial. Where’s Matthew?”

“He was working late, or doing something for his vadder. He’ll be along soon. He told me to go ahead and get here first.”

“I see. I wanted to talk with you about something so it worked out well that Matthew didn’t come with you.”

He drew his eyebrows together. “Wilhem? Is that why you didn’t want me to take you home on Sunday?”

Tulip froze. “What do you know about Wilhem?”

“I know enough.”

Tulip hated confrontation and didn’t know what to say. “I was put in an awkward situation.”

“And what was that?” He folded his arms across his chest. She shook her head and opened her mouth to speak and he butted in, “You’ve been two-timing me?”

Tulip frowned. That’s what she’d been afraid of all along. She wasn’t a two-timer but now people would think that she was. “I’m not. It just happened like that. I wasn’t seeing you both at the same time. It was nothing like that.”

“You led me to believe that you would be seeing me in the future at some point.” He walked up close to her and, he being taller, she only came up to his chin. “Are you telling me that you’ve chosen Wilhem over me?”

“I haven’t, I … er …”

“Haven’t you heard about him?”

Tulip looked into his face and wondered why she’d ever found him handsome. Right now, his personality overshadowed his looks and he was anything but attractive. “What do you mean?”

“That’s why Wilhem had to move here.”

“Why?”

“Nee! I’m not going to be a talebearer. You can find that out for yourself.”

Nathanial took a large stride to walk into her house, but she stepped in front of him to block his way.

“What is there to find out? He said he likes it better here and he’s found work,” Tulip said.

He shook his head at her. “You people gave my bruder such a hard time when he was here.”

“Who did?”

“Never mind.” He took a giant sideways step and walked past her into her house.

Now she’d have to sit through an awkward dinner with a man who’d been so horrible to her. And what if he’d said something to Wilhem about her? Tulip wasn’t certain whether he knew something dreadful about Wilhem or whether he was just trying his best to make him seem like a bad choice. Besides, how would Nathanial know anything about him since they didn’t even belong to the same community?

Now Tulip felt sick to her stomach. She shouldn’t have rushed out to meet him. She didn’t want to join them for dinner, but she had no choice.
