Chapter 5

“If Tabitha were here instead of at nursing school in Boulder, you would be receiving quality care, Mr. O’Dell, rather than my poor ministrations.” Rose finished changing the bandages on O’Dell’s arm. “I apologize for our less-than-professional attention these past three days.”

“Not at all. Doctor Murphy is pleased with my progress. Marit has fed me like a king, you and Breona have kept my wounds dressed, and Mr. Wheatley has seen to my personal needs and honed my skill at checkers. What more could I ask for?”

Rose smiled and her gray eyes watched him. “Perhaps a little more appreciation from my daughter?”

O’Dell flushed. He wanted to avoid Rose’s attempt to steer their conversation toward Joy, but the note he’d received from Joy burned with cold fire under the pillow of his makeshift bed in the library. He had read the unexpected and painful missive so many times that he had committed it to memory.
