Lizzie set herself to making beds after doing the noon dishes. Jacob had excused himself after the noon meal to go into town, and she hoped he still intended to fulfill his promise to purchase a new bed even though he hadn’t mentioned it specifically. Caleb stayed behind to work with Abby in the barn—something about teaching her how to care for the horse. Lizzie was too preoccupied to pay any attention, and wasn’t concerned unless they were getting into trouble, which she didn’t think they would do since Caleb seemed to be a well-behaved child.

A small part of her felt a little strange cleaning another woman’s home, but it was her home now and she would take pride in keeping it clean. It was the way of the Amish that she automatically took over the duties as the new fraa, but it didn’t keep the little butterflies from fluttering in her stomach for fear that she may move something that was sacred memorabilia of Nellie’s.

She and Nellie had been friends before she left the community, so why did she feel jealousy over the woman even though she was deceased? Perhaps because the woman had been the first to love Jacob, while she’d lost her virtue after Eddie had spiked her drink, and had no recollection of the act. The thought of it made her shutter. And even though she’d never had relations again with any man, she hoped Jacob wouldn’t view her as damaged goods.

Her daed assumed Jacob had been the one to compromise her virtue and that was how Abby had come into the world—she’d been violated, but it was a hazy memory at best. She couldn’t help but wonder what Jacob must think about her to accuse him of being the one doing the violating—but that sort of thing was not in his nature, even if she’d been the type of girl to provoke such an action from him. He was a good man, and she felt fortunate that he’d taken the blame for her mistake.

If only she knew the real reason why…
