*****

Cameron returned to his next shift several days later. He was more quiet than usual. When the guys asked him what was wrong, he snarled and told them not to worry about him. He could take care of himself. They knew he had taken a bit of a liking to the young Amish woman he helped that day, but no one was going to say much given his response.

Becca would see Cameron on the street when she was shopping and he saw her as well. They would wave politely, have a bit of small talk and go their own ways. Becca was almost always with her aunt or uncle, or both, so they really couldn’t talk. Every time they would run into each other, Cameron would be thinking about her for the next week. He knew he wasn’t the right man—he wasn’t Amish for one thing, but that didn’t stop him from thinking about her more than he wanted to.

Several weeks after the funeral, Cameron decided he would go to check on Becca one more time. As he pulled into the yard of the Geist farm, several dogs rushed out to bark around the truck and greet him wildly as he stepped out. Becca came out into the porch as Cameron strode up, his long legs eating up the ground. She whistled at the dogs to call them away.

“Go chase a rabbit and leave the man alone,” she scolded. The dogs looked up at her then ran toward the back of the house, falling over each other in their hurry to find a rabbit. Cameron laughed at their antics, a deep throaty laugh that made Becca smile in spite of herself. Those beautiful blue eyes were the same color as her dress.

“What brings you to the farm today?” Becca asked.

“Well, I was driving by and thought I would come see how you were doing. He paused. “So…how are you doing?”

“As well as can be expected,” Becca replied with sadness in her voice.

Cameron got that funny feeling in his chest again and couldn’t find his words. While he was trying to get his sensibilities about him, Becca’s uncle came around the side of the house and stopped dead in his tracks. His voice was loud, not really yelling, but close as he cut Cameron off from trying to say hello.

“I told you once, English, that Becca is not to be seeing you, especially without proper escort! Now, get off my property before I have to remove you. Now!” Lyle waved his hand toward Cameron’s truck as his face began to turn red.

Cameron held his hands up at the angry man. “There was nothing going on, sir. I just stopped by to see how you folks were doing after the fire. But I’ll leave and you can trust that I won’t return.”

Cameron looked up at Becca and nodded his head, then turned to walk quickly back to his pick-up. He spun his tires as he drove out of the yard, glad to be away from there.
