Saxon had enjoyed talking to the people at his table. They’d begun with a discussion about baseball but moved quite quickly from there to whether or not their soldiers should be sent overseas in peacekeeping roles. He’d had to scramble to keep his brain up with the speed of the conversation. Some of the people at his table were not just smart but damn good debaters as well.

At one thirty, people started leaving, and by two, he was handed the heavy broom again and set to sweeping the floor. Not that there was much mess. Some crumbs from the bread, a damp patch where some coffee had been spilled, but not a lot to clean up. These people had been hungry, and the food went in their mouths, not on the floor.

After that, the tables were washed down, the counter cleaned, and armloads of pots and plates tidied away.

He noticed both Bram and Hardy had been washing dishes and decided that sweeping floors was a better job. I don’t know how they usually do it all without the three of us, though. It’s damn hard work. And six days a week. Sheesh.

He headed back to the house to try to speak to Leah, only to find the four women piling into her car. “Leah?” he called.

She stood at the car door waiting for him to cross the parking lot.

“Thanks for helping out. It means we can spend an extra half-hour at the women’s shelter.”

“Women’s shelter?”

Her mom stuck her head out the passenger window. “I’m sorry, no men are allowed on the property. Some of these women have been traumatized by the very men who should have protected them. Fathers, brothers, partners. But we truly appreciated your assistance today.”

Leah gave him a small wave, climbed into the car, and then pulled out of the parking lot. Bram raced over to him. “Where have they gone? Why can’t we go, too?”

“They’ve gone to the women’s shelter, and men are banned. We need to decide how we can see Leah again. Also, how we can get a decent amount of money for those stamps if they’re any good.”

“We have to help them get more sponsors for the food. I couldn’t bear to think of those people going hungry when there’s something easy we could have done,” said Hardy, joining them.

“Right now, we need to think about how we’re going to get home. We don’t have a car, remember, and I’m tired.”

Saxon felt exhaustion wash through his body as well at Bram’s words. They hadn’t been to bed yet, it was mid-afternoon, and he had so many things he had to do before seeing Leah again.

“Call one of the Reed brothers to pick us up, Bram. Hardy, get your car to a collision specialist and make sure they give you a loaner while it’s being fixed. Tomorrow we’ll have to be waiting outside that damn bakery at six to make sure we see Leah again. We need to talk to her about our mutual future.
