Faith had supper waiting for him when he got back. She had everything laid out and the fire going.

“You should have gone ahead and eaten without me,” he told her.

“Neither one of us has been eating much lately, so I decided to cook a simple supper.”

She fried corn cakes and served a fried egg on top of them. Jacob had never eaten them quite like this, but they were good. He ate two, more than he’d eaten lately, and Faith looked pleased.

“If I’ve done something wrong, Jacob, please tell me. I want to be a good wife, but you’re making it hard.”

“Oh, it’s not you, Faith. It’s me. There’ve been too many deaths in such a short span, and I just need some time. Can you be patient with me?”

“It would be easier if you didn’t shut me out and try to stay away as much as possible. I’m here for you. I want to help. Let me comfort you.”

“I just need some time to sort through things right now.”

She looked even more worried. “Are you trying to decide what to do about me?”

What in the world did she mean by that? Maybe, in a way, he was. He wanted to keep her healthy and safe. Was she considering leaving? Surely not.

“Don’t push me, Faith. Just be patient and give me some time.” He tried to soften his tone, so he didn’t sound sharp, but he could tell the words still wounded her.
