CHAPTER EIGHT

“What in the world happened to you two? Did you have an accident?” Aunt Odelia fussed over Rose and Sam like a mother hen.

“The truck got stuck in the mud, and Rose helped me get it out. That’s all.” Sam’s hooded eyes held Rose’s in their gaze. “No one got hurt, right, Rose?”

Rose tilted her head and tore her eyes away. “Everyone is fine, Aunt Odelia. Nothing a good hot bath won’t cure.”

“Did y’all eat? I made the best gumbo. It won’t take a minute to heat. I will not take no for an answer.”

Rose turned to walk up the stairs, and Sam caught her arm.

“You haven’t said two words to me all the way home. I said I was sorry. If you feel like you have to leave, I’ll understand.”

“Do you want me to leave?”

“Of course not. But I won’t make you stay either. I still need you. For the girls, that is.”

“Then I’ll stay, Sam. For the girls, that is.”

In her room Rose touched her lips. Why, Sam? Why don’t you care for me? Rose dried her hair threw on sweats and a cozy shirt and decided to eat in a hurry and maybe she would be through before Sam came back down.

“Sam decided to eat his gumbo before he cleaned up. He’s upstairs reading to the girls. Said to tell all good night. He looked beat.”

Rose listened to Odelia talk as she forced herself to eat the bowl of gumbo. All she wanted was to turn in for the night and start fresh in the morning.
