Chapter Ten

The following week, Honor and the family were invited to Hannah Yoder Hartman’s farmhouse for a spaghetti supper. The invitation was extended to Luke, as well. It was Hannah’s husband Albert’s birthday.

Luke had met Albert the previous week when he’d come out to have a look at Honor’s cow. A recent convert to the Amish faith, Albert had been and remained a veterinarian to the community. Born to a family of Old Order Mennonites, he had made the change from Mennonite to Amish as easily as a gardener might slip on a pair of worn leather gloves. He’d married widow Hannah Yoder and stepped into the respected role of husband, father and grandfather in Seven Poplars.

Luke pulled the buggy up in the driveway, not far from the porch. The temperature was just above freezing and a misty rain fell.

Almost before the wheels stopped rolling, Tanner pushed open the back door to the buggy and leaped out. Elijah and Justice followed his lead.

“I don’t want you tracking mud into Hannah’s house,” Honor cautioned. “Leave your boots on the porch when you go inside. And be on your best behavior tonight. Remember we’re guests in Hannah and Albert’s house.”

Luke glanced at Honor with a grin. They’d had a nice ride to Seven Poplars. Honor was in a good mood and they’d chatted all the way here. Not about anything important, just life’s little things. The things he imagined a husband and wife would talk about. “I think they’re excited about that birthday cake.”

“Maybe Zipporah’s been invited,” Greta said as she climbed down. “Lots of buggies.” Anke threw open her arms to Greta, and Honor passed her to the girl. Greta carried the baby to the back steps and shooed the boys up and inside.

As the back door slammed shut, Luke glanced at the murky sky. “I think I’ll get the horse under cover, just in case. I wouldn’t want to leave him standing in the rain all evening.”

Honor turned toward him on the seat and hesitantly reached out to touch him on the arm. Just a touch, and then she drew her hand back. “I wanted to thank you.”

Luke smiled at her in the semidarkness. It seemed as if they hadn’t had more than a moment alone all week, between bad weather keeping the boys inside and him working hard to check one item after the next off the list they created together of all the things that needed repairing on her farm. “For anything in particular?” he teased.

Her cheeks grew rosy. She was so beautiful, particularly when she blushed or got flustered. “For everything you’ve done. You did such a fine job patching the roof, I don’t even know that I need a new one, yet.”

“We’ll see. In the meantime, there’s a lot more to do—the siding on the house, those missing boards on the barn. And the barn definitely needs a new roof—” He broke off as a man stepped off the porch and came to greet them. “There’s Albert.
