Twilight was coming earlier now. Matthew had avoided Verity all day and had spoken to her in one-syllable words since her announcement. She walked toward his cabin, her soft shawl snug around her. They must discuss Thanksgiving. She must make him understand why she was doing this. But when she knocked on the closed cabin door, there was no answer. “Matthew, may I speak with thee?”

No reply.

She pulled her shawl even tighter around herself. The night would be a chilly one. She looked up and saw a trail of smoke coming out the chimney. “Matthew?” she tried once more.

No reply.

She stood there a few more moments and then walked back to the house. I intended to discuss the invitation with thee, Matthew.

Couldn’t a family disagree on an issue yet remain friends? She’d married outside her parents’ faith. Though they would have been happier if she’d wed another Friend, they had accepted Roger as a good man, as her choice of husband.

What had happened between the cousins? She sensed it must have something to do with the issue of slavery. Matthew’s family had left when he was twelve. Samuel had run away at fifteen. What deep past wound had she opened up with this invitation?

The wind tugged her shawl, her hair. Pulling her shawl tighter, she bent her head into the wind and prayed for wisdom, blessing, love and healing to come to this town.
