Chapter 11

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually,

The Lord be magnified.

Psalm 40:16

* * *

“I keep telling you it’s not, and besides that, I can’t. I really thought long and hard about it. I had months to think it through, and this is the decision I’ve made.” It’s what’s best for the baby; I’m not being selfish. I think it would be selfish of me to keep the baby when the baby can have a better life somewhere else, with someone else.

“I can’t tell you what to do. I’ll help you in Simon’s place if you want to go ahead with keeping up the lies you’ve told my parents. I won’t let anyone know that I know anything different from what you’ve told them.”

“You’d really do that?”

“Yes, I would. I suppose no one will get hurt if they never learn the truth. And if you were only going to put the baby up for adoption anyway, my parents would be the perfect choice.”

Relief soared through Bree’s body and she leaned back in the hard wooden chair. She had thought her plan was about to come crashing around about her, but now that Andrew knew, things might work out even better.

“Would you come to my house with me soon? I need to pick up some more money.”

“Don’t you keep your money in a bank?”

“Normally I do, but I left money in my room at home.” Bree didn’t like telling Andrew a lie now that he was helping her, but she knew he wouldn’t go to the house with her if he knew she was going to have to steal money from her parents to support herself for the next few months. It was the only way she could get any money.

“Did you work?”

“I was between jobs and deciding what to do with my life. I don’t think I’m the type to go to college and study. I have a problem with concentration.”

“What did you do for work?”

Bree looked away, not happy about having to tell another lie. But how could she tell this hard-working Amish man that she’d never worked a day in her life and had been supported by the very people she’d been bitterly complaining about? “I’m sorry, Andrew, I just lied to you.” She saw his eyebrows scrunch together and lines appear in his forehead.

“What did you lie about?” he asked.

“I’ve never worked. My parents gave me an allowance and it is true about me trying to figure out what to do with my life. All I know is that a baby can’t be part of it. I just want to find something that I enjoy doing so I can feel fulfilled.”

“What do you enjoy doing?”

“I don’t know; it’s hard to say. I guess I’ll have to try a few things to figure that out. Do you like building?”

“Yes I do like building, but I’d still have to do it even if I didn’t like it. You have to do something to bring the money in.
