Anna and Edward sat through an uncomfortable silence for most of their light supper, until Anna thought she was going to scream. She realized that neither of them wanted to budge. Finally she had to say something to break the ice, but even now she didn’t think Edward appeared mad—more thoughtful than anything else.

She sucked in a deep breath, then dabbed her mouth with her napkin. “Edward, it was pretty busy today with customers when I popped in.”

“Yes, it was for a little while,” he said.

Tread lightly, but don’t bring up animals yet. “If you need me to help out from time to time, I’d be happy to.”

He looked up from his plate, his eyes looking directly into hers for a long moment before answering. “Maybe. I think you might be a distraction for me and then I couldn’t get any work done.”

He almost chuckled, she thought. If only he would. She couldn’t gauge his thinking with his passive expression. She still felt really bad that he’d wanted to surprise her. “Edward, I’m sorry that I let Daniel do the work without checking with you first. It won’t happen again.”

“I sincerely hope not. We need to be partners, not enemies.”

“Does that mean I’m to consult you on everything that happens in our household?” Anna could feel her angst rise. “Am I not allowed any freedom to make decisions I think are best sometimes?”

“I think that would be better, Anna. That way there will be no misunderstandings,” he said.

She started picking up the dishes and carried them to the sink. He’d put her in her place like some lord of a medieval castle. Well, it wasn’t going to work—not for her, not ever!
