- About the Author
Thank you for telling me how you feel. I owe you an apology, Kate. You didnt cause Mom and me to quarrel; I needed to hear what she had to say. The caring is coming but Im more concerned for you. Where Parker is concerned I probably overreact. I mean, hed be coming here to eat and you couldnt be more safe.
Then youll take me? Kate was truly surprised.
Right now, if youre ready.
What brought on the change?
Its not as sudden as it seems but weve had no time to talk. Those verses in 1 Thessalonians really spoke to me. Ive read them over and over and I cant say Ive been faithful in the way I reach out to the unsaved in Santa Rosa. And when I have reached out, it was to someone easy, not someone of whom I was suspicious.
Paul says the people he worked with were dear to him and thats what Ive been asking God for in my own heart. A deep compassion that would make Parker and Joey dear to me. As Ive said, its coming.
Kate was so relieved she felt tears sting her eyes. Why hadnt they talked like this a week ago?
Thanks Rigg, was all she said and he smiled at her before turning to hitch up the wagon.
Joey was the first to spot the wagon and Frank, having recognized Kate, didnt bother to bark.
Hi Joey! Kate called, and the little boy came close to the wagon to talk with her.
My pa liked my hair cut. He smiled and Kaitlin was amazed at how hed blossomed in the week hed been coming to see her. Their conversation of the morning before came to mind and Kate prayed for an opportunity to question Joey.
Is your dad here, Joey?
Not right now. Joeys look became uncertain and Kate hurried to explain.
Tonight? Joey asked. For supper? Both of us?
Right. Were having a fish dinner and you should be at the Taylors about six. Dont forget to tell your dad.
When the wagon pulled away, Kate looked back to see Joey waving furiously. She returned the wave feeling absolutely buoyant.
The guys had returned from their fishing spot up the creek with their creels overflowing. Marcail was an old hand at the procedure and she and Kate enlisted the help of Rigg and Jeff. Kaitlin wanted to do this for May so she sent Bill and May on a walk.
The men stood back and watched the girls attack the fish on the back porch. The fish were cleaned in record time and then cut in perfect strips. Neither one was the least bit squeamish and the job was done neatly and efficiently.
