Chapter 4

Being frustrated wasn’t helping either of them. Becka knew that. First of all, she was bored to death, and secondly, she didn’t have anything to do. Yes, her head told her they were the same thing, but they weren’t. Being bored meant that her mind was inactive—to her at least and not having anything to do, even if it wasn’t something that totally occupied her mind, was making her think about things that she didn’t need to be pondering about, such as the very fact that she married a complete stranger without any thought of what they’d do with their life together. Like now, she told herself. No thought.

Should it matter that they were mates? She didn’t think so. While she’d enjoyed her working life, not going out on dates and so forth, she at least had her job. Now, thanks to people finding out that she was married, she didn’t have one. No one wanted to take on a married woman because of how hard the work was for a woman if she were to get pregnant. Why, she asked herself. How did that make one iota of difference than before? Stupid people. She’d lost three jobs just this morning, and it was making her pissy with everyone around her.

When she realized that she was ruining the flowers in the little garden that she’d been sitting in, Becka put her hands on her lap and counted to ten. That didn’t have the desired effect, so she counted two more times to ten before getting up and stomping away. She was leaning against the tree sobbing when a faerie found her.

She’d been told several times that she was to get one. Why? No one had an answer other than she should have one to keep her safe. She’d not found the need to have one flittering about her, so she had done nothing to have one hanging around her. Becka knew that wasn’t fair of her. They needed a job, too. And this was the funniest thing. She’d never seen any of them flittering.

But now that she was bored…pissed off, she was making everything out to be a hardship on her. When she turned on the little person again, she knew she wasn’t being fair. She asked him what he wanted. The little creature flew back from her so quickly that she was sure that it was terrified of her. That hurt her soul that she’d made such a little—it had been like she’d yelled at a baby, and it was puckering its lips, ready to cry.

“My lady?” She asked him what he wanted, then pointed out that her name was Becka. “Yes…Becka. I have come to see if there is anything that I can help you with. I have asked the others to take care of the garden for you.”

“Why?” The little man said that it had been torn up. “Yes. So? I did it. Maybe that’s the way that I want it to be? Messy.” She was being unfair.
