Myra

It was funny how the Lord worked. I was beginning to think that as much as he had sent Abraham to help me and lead me out of a difficult situation when I needed him, he’d also send me to Abraham.

His truck seemed to run just fine but could use a deep cleaning. The ride had been long, and I didn’t want to bother him while he focused on the road, but now that we were at the cabin, I noticed that it too lacked a woman’s touch.

There were no curtains. The floors needed a good mop. Maybe two. Maybe three. The walls were bare, except for one piece of art and the large shelves that separated the living room from the bedroom. Each level overflowing with book after book. Personally, I didn’t know how anyone could need that many books.

I’d only really needed one. The Word. Then again, I had a few copies myself.

Had he read them all? And if he had, what was the point of keeping them afterward?

His furniture, from what I could tell, was sufficient, but nothing matched or coordinated. Most of the cushions were frayed or ripped, which I could fix. The end tables, which were made of thick wood looked like they might be nice, under the all the dust and magazines.

On the wall across from the couch where he leaned, a massive television hung between two large windows. I’d never seen a TV that big. It seemed frivolous, but it was his home, and I wasn’t there to judge.

I was there to be his wife.

As nervous as that made me, I was also excited. I’d never been a vain person, and looks were only skin deep. I’d been taught at a very young age to be modest and simple, that God didn’t care about shallow things. We were clean and prudent.

But the more I studied Abraham, my husband, I had to wonder if God didn’t favor some and gift them with more attractiveness. He was the most masculine human I’d ever seen, and even though it wasn’t common in Lancaster, I was growing fond of his longer hair and scruff. After all, he hadn’t had anyone to trim it for him without paying, and I couldn’t fault him for being frugal.

“I’ll get your things. I’m sure you’re tired. It’s been a long day,” he finally replied after a few seconds. Usually, I felt uncomfortable when men looked at me the way he did, but now I only felt blessed.

I had three trunks and a suitcase, and as he hauled in the bigger pieces, which I would deal with in the morning, I packed the smaller one into the bathroom with me.

He’d said the bathroom had been updated, but that was putting it mildly. It was almost out of place in the cabin. The walls were bright white, and every metallic fixture in the room was shiny chrome. There was a walk-in shower that was made completely out of glass and a large tub in front of a window.
