Chapter 12

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

Titus 3:8

* * *

Ruth’s house is completed.

"Well it's been a busy two months; what do you think of it now?"

"I like it so much I might move here myself."

He laughed. “I don't know what your mudder would say about that."

“She wouldn't like it, but she never likes anything I do so what would be the difference?”

He laughed. “It's like you're speaking about somebody else. I've never found Ruth to be like that.”

"It is possible I'm being too hard on her—a small possibility, but I'll see if we can't get along better when I go back home.”

He laughed again. “You should do that. Now, on a different subject I've got somebody looking at the house this afternoon.”

"Looking at it for what?"

“To buy."

"But I haven't even spoken to a realtor yet."

"You can do that today if you don't mind me showing the young couple through the house myself."

"Of course, I don't mind. Who are they?"

"A young couple from the community—they’re getting married soon. They told me they’ve been looking for a house and I told them about Ruth’s. They’re quite interested. I'm sure they’ll pay the going rate, whatever that might be, if they like it. They’ll pay a fair price."

"I'm shocked that someone might be interested so soon. I thought it would be at least another six months to find a buyer." It struck Sarah then and there that she wanted to stay longer. She had enjoyed Isaac’s company every day. They’d had at least one meal together daily since he’d started work on the house. The thought of going back home made her more than a little sad. Sarah glanced up at him and wondered if he felt the same.

“The sooner you get this place sold the sooner you can get back to your mudder.”

She shook her head and smiled while thinking what it would be like with her mother and herself under the same roof until the extension was built onto the house.

"I mean you can get back in enough time to settle in before the boppli is born."

"Jah, I guess I have to get things organized. I’m excited about the boppli coming, but I haven’t had much time to think about it. There has been so much going on."

"You do have some organizing to do, but don't worry. I'm sure it will be easier than getting me and the house repairs systematized."

She laughed. “You did all that. Denke for everything. You’ve done a wonderful job. My mudder is blessed to have such a friend as you.”

“I'm glad to have met you, Sarah. I really mean that."

"And I you.”

He looked down at her and smiled.

"I suppose I better find a phone book and start calling a couple of realtors. I'll see if they can come by this morning before your friends arrive to see the haus.
