When they got back to the Yoders' house, she looked over at him. “I’d better get inside.” Why didn’t she know what to say to him? Should she have said she wanted to see him soon as well, or would that have been too forward? She stepped down from the buggy.

He jumped out and ran around the other side to meet her. “I’ll walk you in.”

“Nee, there’s no need.” Martha glanced up at the house and saw Gabbie watching them from the window of her bedroom. It seemed her best friend had now become her rival in love. He followed her to the door, and when she turned, she found him closer than she’d expected. “I had a nice time, being with you today.”

“Me too,” Michael said. “And, don’t forget I’m driving you and Gabbie around on Saturday.”

“I won’t forget. Do you want to come in?”

“Nee. It’s late.” Michael stared at her and she didn’t know what to do or say. Turning away from him, she put her hand on the door handle.

“Goodbye,” she said before opening the door. Once she was inside, she heard his goodbye before she shut the door softly behind her.

She leaned against the closed door and wanted to cry. Every time she said something to Michael she was sure it was wrong.

When Martha went up to her bedroom, she knew she’d be faced with one hundred and one questions from Gabbie. When she opened her door, she saw Gabbie was in bed. Martha knew she wasn’t asleep because it was still early and she'd seen Gabbie looking out the window. “Gabbie, come downstairs with me. We can have hot tea and cake.”

Gabbie said, “Nee, I’m not hungry. I’ll stay here and sleep.”

“Do you want me to bring something up to you?”

“Nee.”

Martha decided to go to sleep too. Changing into her nightgown, she wished she was more like Gabbie. Gabbie was never at a loss when it came to conversation. Even though Michael had asked her to the charity auction with him, he’d soon lose interest if she was boring to be around. She was always afraid of saying something stupid. That was her real fear and it kept her from saying much at all.
