The family hadn’t waited. Which meant that Nancy hadn’t told them he was there.

“Ach, Luke! We didn’t know you were back,” Irene said, jumping up from the table.

Luke glanced at Nancy and saw her face flush pink. Nope. She hadn’t said a word.

“I’ll get you a plate and utensils.” Irene bustled to the kitchen.

“No worries,” he called after her.

“You saw your folks?” Philip asked.

“Jah. And then, I rode about the district, getting to know it again.”

Philip raised his brow at that. “Not much has changed, I reckon.”

Luke laughed and slid onto the bench across from Nancy. “You’re right in that.”

“But isn’t that gut?” Nancy asked.

Luke looked at her. “What? That nothing changes?”

Her flushed cheeks grew a deeper red. “Well… There isn’t anything wrong with things staying the same.”

He shook his head. “I suppose not.”

She looked down at her plate. “Unless, they get better.”

He frowned. “Not sure you can have it both ways.”

The minute the words left his mouth, he felt the tension in the room rise. He felt Philip staring at him, but he kept his eyes on Nancy. She met his gaze, and he saw something flicker in her eyes, but he couldn’t read what it was. The moment she saw his interest, it was like she’d drawn a curtain between them.

He sighed.

“Here you go,” Irene said, back from the kitchen. She handed him his dishes.

He took them, glad to have something to do. He dished himself a hefty helping of steamed veggies and took two chicken legs from the platter. “Thank you, Irene.”

“Nancy cooked it, so you’ll have to thank her.”

He glanced across at Nancy once again. “Thank you.”

She pursed her lips and nodded slightly in acknowledgement. His breath seeped out between his lips. She was a strange one, that Nancy Slagel.

At that moment, he missed Ariel’s easy smile.
