The next morning, Eric nudged her. “Sarah? Sarah, you awake?”

She opened her bleary eyes and smiled up at him. “I’m awake.”

“Let’s eat. I’m starving.”

She wriggled to a sitting position. “I’ll make breakfast.” She quickly threw back the covers and got up.

“Uh, we have a little problem,” Eric said.

“What’s that?”

“There’s no food in the house.”

Sarah frowned. “Nothing? No eggs? Bacon? Flour? Nothing?”

“I searched and found a couple cans of veggie soup. That’s it.”

Sarah padded out to the kitchen. “Then, we’ll have veggie soup,” she said.

It didn’t take long to warm up the cans of soup. Sarah was disappointed that the first breakfast she served her new husband was so inappropriate. She’d dreamed of making a true Amish breakfast for him, hearty food that would stick to his ribs.

And make him glad he married me, she thought with a blush.

“Can we go in for groceries today?” Sarah asked, picking up their empty bowls. Her family always shopped at the Feed & Supply, but she could hardly show her face there. In truth, she was going to have to be careful about showing her face anywhere. If the fact that she was back in the Hollybrook area got to her parents, she wasn’t sure what might happen.

She washed the bowls and set them in the rack to drain. Now that she pondered it, she truly didn’t know what would happen. Would her parents come for her? Or would they simply banish her from their lives?

The whole idea was unsettling. She took the dishrag and ran it swiftly over the table, cleaning up the few drips left behind.

“I don’t have a whole lot of money. I used most of it at Burger Bites,” Eric said. “Do you have any?”

“A little. Won’t buy many groceries, though.”

Eric moved to an armchair and sat down. “I’m going to have to go to my parents.”

“Will they be mad?”

“At first.”

“Am I going with you?”

“No!” he said. She flinched at the speed of his answer.

“But why? Won’t they want to meet me?”

“Look Sarah, I’m not sure how things work with you Amish, but I’ve got to ease them into this. They’ll come around, don’t worry. But I need to do it slowly.”

“I’m not sure what slowly even means.”

Eric sighed. “Just trust me, okay?”

She frowned, and he stood and came to her. He put his arms around her and held her close. “I’m sorry. It’s going to be fine. You just have to give me some time to work it all out.”

“But I thought you had a plan.” She felt him stiffen and instantly regretted her words.

He let go of her and walked to the window, looking out. “It frosted last night.” He turned back to the fireplace. “I can get a fire going for you.”

“That’d be nice.”

“I’m going to go into town and see what food I can rustle up. Will you be okay without me?”

She hesitated for only a second. “Jah. Yes. Of course.” But in truth, the last thing she wanted was to be left alone in the woods.
