Chapter 5.

Jake was loading up the wheelbarrow with bags of insecticide to spread in the fields when Ellie walked in with Coal from running some errands in town. She noticed what he was doing and got a little concerned. Did he know what he was doing?

“Are you sure you know how to spread the insecticide, Jake? I know it seems easy, but it’s not something we’ve gone over.”

“Angus had it here to be used, not to sit in the barn. He was probably getting ready to spread it two weeks ago when he left, but it slipped his mind with everything that happened. But don’t worry, I picked up the skill, you have nothing to worry about.” He shot her a reassuring smile.

“Oh, at Rachel’s I’m guessing?”

He chuckled inwardly at her jealous tone.

“Something like that.” He replied as he wheeled the insecticide out of the barn. “I’ll come back for the spreader.”

Ellie couldn’t help but feel extremely jealous that he had been spending so much time over at Rachel’s. She grabbed the handle of the spreader, wheeling it behind her as she followed him out of the barn.

“You sure have been spending an awful lot of time there for the last few days, Jake. Is there anything I should know about?” she asked as nonchalantly as possible, though it was clear to Jake she was jealous. He decided to play with her a little, just to see how far her jealousy would go. Even though he knew it wasn’t right, he had to know if she really did have any feelings toward him.

“Maybe, I’m not sure yet. I guess we’ll find out after my buggy ride tonight.” He said with a mischievous grin.

Ellie planted her hands on her hips. “You asked Rachel to take a buggy ride with you?”

“Nah, she asked me! Besides, it’s not our first buggy ride.”

Ellie leered at him. “It’s not your first buggy ride with her? You do know what that means to an Amish girl, don’t you?”

Jake shrugged and walked toward the cornfield. He didn’t really know what the significance of what the buggy ride was, and he suddenly worried if that was the meaning behind Isaac’s warning.

Was it possible that taking the buggy rides established the courting ritual the Amish believed in? He made a mental note to look it up online as soon as he had the chance. The only thing he knew was that he was doing it to get Rachel to be courted by the one she wants—and that was not him. Troy had already seen them once, and he was hoping this second buggy ride would be his last. If the shy Troy would not get the hint after tonight, he intended to put a bug in his ear. He didn’t have time to waste with the childish games that Rachel expected from him, especially since he’d agreed to do it in exchange for a favor. And although it had managed to get a rise of jealousy out of Ellie,
