“That smells fantastic,” Taran said as he entered the kitchen after his shower. Sarah was pulling garlic bread out of the oven, and it only intensified his hunger.

She turned and smiled. “Let’s just hope it tastes as good.”

Taran helped her finish setting the table, and she dished out the meal. He greedily gobbled his first helping before coming up for air and helping himself to seconds. “I didnae realize how hungry I was.”

“Thank you for fixing the roof.” She’d taken a few bites, but mostly she’d pushed her food around with her fork.

Taran studied her a moment. “Are ye okay?”

“I am. I just need a break.” She smiled weakly at him. “I’m trying to understand the financial aspects of this place, and it’s taking a lot of effort.”

“What’s the problem?”

“It’s not something I tell many people. “

He held up his hand. “Then dinnae say.”

“No, if I’m going to tell anyone, it’ll be you. We’re married, after all.” She winked.

She had a way of making him laugh. “That’s true.”

Sarah set her fork down. “When I was born, I was a micro-preemie. I had a pretty severe brain bleed, and it affected my memory.”

Taran took a sip of his drink. “A micro-preemie?” He’d heard of preemies, and they were tiny. How much tinier had she been?

“I was twenty-two weeks and a few days when I was born. I was under two pounds. They consider that micro because they’re so tiny.”

Twenty-two weeks? It was a miracle she was alive. “Wow. I had nae idea. What kind of memory problems do ye have?”

“Names, people, and places I’m okay with, but numbers and stuff are almost impossible. Sometimes they reverse on me, and I have to really be careful.”

“Ye ran a business with Paige.”

She sighed like she’d explained it too many times. “Yes, but she took care of the finance stuff. I mostly did the bookings and website articles.”

“Then let Trudy take care of it. There’s no point in drivin’ yerself crazy if it’s too hard.” He bit off a hunk of garlic bread, and it melted in his mouth. “What ye lack in numbers, ye make up for in cookin’.”

“That’s kinda why I was afraid. Like I said, numbers aren’t my thing.” She picked up her fork and began eating again. “And I don’t want to depend on Trudy. What if something happens and she’s no longer around? What then? I have to be able to do it. We’re taking the weekend off and regrouping. I think she’s as frustrated as I am.”

“I don’t understand much, but I understand frustration.”

“I think it’s why my dad left. I was difficult as a kid. I had ADHD and ADD, which most preemies have because of brain development. It made parenting a little more interesting. They would tell me not to do something, and I’d almost immediately forget.” She took a bite and washed it down with her drink.

Taran couldn’t understand a parent leaving just because things were difficult. “I dinnae think ye had anythin’ to do with it.
