The work on the place seemed endless and Fiona began to get calls over the next few days. She managed to get the truck signage done, had the tank drained at an RV place, and refilled the shower from their own pump. Since she was out and about, cooking, cleaning, and fixing up the ranch fell on Allyssa’s shoulders. She was relishing it though, despite the snow, cold, and isolation. She felt empowered that no one was judging her. Fiona, when she would notice something new she had done, encouraged her, complimented her, or just generally made her feel good about it. It was quite a difference from her old life, and she began to blossom from it.

Since she was out pinning brochures up wherever she could find a place at the laundromat and on the post office bulletin boards, Fiona had the opportunity to pick up some things from their list. While shopping she would also ask some of the merchants she came across to post her information. She made sure to bring all the receipts back to Allyssa who filed them for the business or their home needs.

“We’re going to need an accountant. I can only do so much on the computer and I don’t have the knowledge,” she confided one night as she entered gas receipts for her wife’s journey around the countryside.

“I’ll think on that,” a tired Fiona responded as she sat before the fire in the cabin enjoying the warmth. Allyssa had insisted they use the fireplace and she had reluctantly lit it. It seemed she was always cold, but it was the middle of winter in the high country.

“Add it to the list,” Allyssa murmured as she pecked at the computer. She was getting used to Fiona’s moods after living with her for a month, and she didn’t mind. She knew how hard the woman was working towards establishing her business. All she could do was be supportive and provide her a decent home life, such as it was. They were still eating off the stove in the mobile home. She’d attempted to bake something, but the ingredients had mutated and she had made a mess. Rex had eaten whatever it turned into without getting sick, so she was happy about that. She’d started a blog about things that Fiona told her she had seen and linked it to the website she had purchased for their business. She’d put up pictures that were free on the internet. They weren’t too different from what she saw every day when she got up and looked outside. She’d already updated the brochures so Fiona always had current ones in her truck to hand out or pin up. They were connected on social media and that took time out of her day and kept her busy while Fiona was away.

“One of the clients has a horse we might have to bring here, so I can keep a closer watch on it,” Fiona mentioned sleepily from where she was sitting.
