CHAPTER 19

“Knock. Knock. Sorry to disturb you. Nobody has seen you in awhile, so I just thought I would drop in and check on you and bring you something that you can put on in the morning.”

Jane stood in the doorway with Cooper as she looked at my suitcases and the various items surrounding them spread out all over my bed. A simple gray gown lay draped over her arm. Admittedly, it did look extremely out of place in this time, but as far as I was concerned, that didn’t mean that it had come from another.

“Packing a few things, I can see. Do you mind if I help you with that?”

I could see that she intended to help regardless of what I said, so I smiled and nodded as they both walked all the way inside. Cooper didn’t hesitate a moment as he crawled on top of the bed, right up in the middle of everything, and gathered a squirmy Toby into his arms. The pup took to wagging his tail and licking Cooper’s face right away.

“He likes you.”

Cooper smiled and nudged his own nose with Toby’s.

“Good, ’cause I sure do like him.”

Jane reached for one of my empty suitcases and went to close it, hesitantly pulling it off the bed as I watched her suspiciously.

“I don’t mean to disappoint you, but you can’t bring these suitcases with you. It wouldn’t do for someone to see you rolling around something like this. I have a different sort of bag you can put a few things in, more of a pack sack of sorts.”

I tried not to frown as I watched her roll my suitcase to the other side of the room.

“A pack sack?”

“Yes, a small cloth thing. You’ll see. And good on you for thinking of laying out everything you’ll miss, but you can’t bring most of this stuff with you.”

“Like what?” I sat down next to Cooper on the end of the bed and waited for Jane to take control.

“Well, toilet paper for starters. I know it would be great to have, but there’s not really anywhere to put the stuff when you’re done with it. It would just get really gross. You won’t need shampoo either, but you won’t really miss that. I’ll admit, any time I come back here I always relish a good scrubbing with the stuff, but just wait until you get to use the oil mixtures that some of the ladies in McMillan village make. It’s lovely, and your hair will shine and become so soft that you won’t miss the suds as much as you would think. Is it all right if I gather up the things you definitely will want?”

I shrugged, knowing full well that she would do as she wished. Cooper obviously could tell the same thing, for he squirmed his way off the bed and turned to pet Toby as he spoke.

“This looks like it could take awhile. I think I’ll go play downstairs. Would it be okay if I brought Toby with me? I promise I’ll take good care of him.
