The women spent the whole day together, with no change in Roswitha’s condition. They all strove to avoid the topic as much as possible. Everything remained calm. At the end of the day, Madlen embraced both Agathe and Roswitha as she said her farewells and promised to be back early the next morning. On the way back to her marital home, she said a silent prayer that the Lord wouldn’t let anything happen that night.

When she opened her eyes the next morning, her first thought was Roswitha. Today was the third day of treatment. From Madlen’s previous experience, something would occur today or, at the latest, tomorrow. When she worked with Clara, they had only performed a handful of these procedures to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. She sincerely hoped that the herbs would suffice and that it wouldn’t be necessary to force the baby from the body. Johannes rolled over and embraced her.

“Good morning. Do you have to get up already?”

She kissed him tenderly. “You know that Agathe’s counting on me. It will only be two or three more days; soon, we’ll have everything done.” She freed herself from his arms and sat on the edge of the bed. First thing in the morning, she usually needed a little time for the dizziness to subside.

“Come here,” her husband whispered.

She stood. “You can get that out of your head,” she teased. “I have to get dressed. Sleep a little bit more and dream about me.”

“And if that’s not enough?”

“It’s going to have to be.” She laughed, walked to the chair over which she’d draped her dress, and put it on.

“Two days. Whether the dress orders are fulfilled or not, I won’t let you out of bed.”

“Is that a threat?”

“A promise.”

“Good! I’ll hold you to that promise.” She grazed his lips with a light kiss. “I have to go now.”

He growled, turned over, and fell back asleep.
