TEN

The next morning, the sun was out, bursting through the trees and lighting up the house as it streamed in through the windows. It seemed incredible that such a gorgeous day would follow one that had been filled with terror and pain.

Ben had gone out before sunrise to help his father with the morning chores. Then he remained outside for another half hour to walk around. He told his father he was going for a walk to enjoy the uncommonly mild weather. But, in truth, he was really searching for any signs that Mason Green was about.

He relaxed when he found none. Ambling back into the house, he hung his hat up on the rack inside the door and then followed his nose into the kitchen.

His mamm had set the breakfast on the table. Coffee, strong and black the way he liked it, percolated on the stove. Helping his mamm was a pretty woman dressed in a demure lavender dress that fell to midcalf. An apron was wrapped around her slender waist and plain boots were on her feet. A white prayer kapp covered her light brown hair. Hair he had gotten used to seeing pulled back in a ponytail.

Sadie.

His heartbeat was heavy inside his chest. This was not a good idea. How was he supposed to keep the fact that she was Englisch straight in his mind when she was attired in Amish clothing? Even worse was the fact that she wore it with a naturalness that stunned him. There was no self-consciousness as she worked. No fidgeting with the kapp. She did play with the strings that fell past her shoulders, but that was the extent of it.

The feeling that she had once been a member of a community like this grew firmer.

She wasn’t a member now, and once her full memory returned she would go back to the Englisch world. He had to keep that in the forefront of his mind. Otherwise, he could find himself in an emotional bind that would cause suffering all around.

“Sadie! You look like us.” Nathaniel rushed into the room, skidding to a stop at her side. He grinned up at the woman, and she smiled back.

“I know. Would you like some breakfast?”

Like everything was normal. Shaking his head to clear it, Ben approached the table. He did his best to keep from staring at her throughout the meal. It took some discipline. She looked so right standing in the large, open Amish kitchen working next to his mother. It wasn’t hard to imagine her working with Nathaniel on his homework. Or riding in the front of the buggy with him.

Nee. He could not go there. It made the very heart inside his chest ache to know that he must deny himself the pleasure of even considering courting her. It was the way it had to be. He felt guilty, too. The idea that he was thinking of a woman besides Lydia with longing—it couldn’t continue. He knew that his parents wanted him to move on, but they would be disappointed if they knew the direction his thoughts were taking.
