- About the Author
Mmm hmm. My class will call me Mrs. Riggs. Doesnt that sound wonderful?
Indeed it does. But I know something that sounds even better.
Whats that?
I love you Kaitlin, and praise God for our marriage.
Kate gaped at him. Hed said the words in perfect Hawaiian. How did
Seans been working with me ever since I proposed.
Say it again.
Rigg obliged. Kate, laughing in delight, threw her arms around her husband.
The language isnt important you know, Rigg said as he kissed her softly. No matter how I say it Katie, Im head over heels in love with you.
epilogue
Stay dry! Jeff called to Sylvia as she dashed from the shipping office to her carriage in the pouring rain. And Ill see you tonight.
It was December twenty-third and Sylvia Weber was hosting an informal Christmas party at her sisters house Shed invited nearly all the young people from church
Bill, who was watching from his office doorway, struggled with his feelings. He had no right to ask Jeff to change his plans but Rigg, Kaitlin, Sean and Marcail were coming to trim the tree and stay the night. This would be the first tree party where one of the boys would not be with them. It was also their first Christmas with Kate, Sean and Marcail.
Dad, Jeff turned when Sylvias carriage was out of sight, What were you saying?
Come in and sit down. The two men made themselves comfortable around the desk and then Bill looked his son in the eye.
I was saying that your mother has been praying about her work here at the shipping office for many months. She doesnt want to quit outright but shes ready for a break.
And now that Katie is expecting, she told me shed like to take a little time for herself before she becomes a grandmother.
Well, we can certainly fill in, Dad, for as long as were needed. In fact, she doesnt ever need to come back. Well get by.
Thats what Ive told her and that was going to be our plan until yesterday when Jake Bradford was in. Bill watched his son closely and continued.
Bobbie is coming back to town. Shes going to be married and wants to come home for a while before she makes that step. Jake tells me shes been working at the shipping office in Jenner for over three years. Shes not going to be here permanently but it sounds like it will be enough time for your mom and me to make a decision on her working with us.
I havent discussed this with anyone but your mother. If you say the word, Ill drop the whole idea and no one need know we were considering Bobbie. We would all be working in this office together and if thats going to be too uncomfortable for you, Ill understand, and well figure out something else.
