- About the Author
Do you understand what Im saying, Jeff? I forgave you long ago. What happened that day at the lagoon was awful, but so was what happened to Joseph in the book of Genesis, and look at the way God used him. And look at the way He saved my Bobbie.
Maryanne Bradfords eyes filled with tears and Jeff felt a stinging sensation behind his own. He had asked and she certainly told him. It was becoming more and more clear to him all the time why Bobbie was the way she was. There was no pity in this house.
I too wish Id come to you a long time ago, Mrs. Bradford. Youve lifted a burden from me thats been weighing me down for a long time. I should have ignored my fear and come to you years ago. Thank you.
Maryanne smiled at hima smile so like Bobbies that Jeff found himself grinning at her. She had already had her breakfast, so after putting a full plate in front of Jeff, she sat and visited with him. It didnt take long for the subject to come around to Bobbie.
I know this is none of my business, but have you ever met Cleve?
No. Bobbie has told us about him, but the only ones who know him are Jakes brother and sister-in-law.
Do they like him?
Its hard to tell in letters, and I probably shouldnt try to read between the lines, but I almost get the impression that Joanne wants Bobbie to marry Cleve so shell make her permanent home in Jenner. Has Bobbie talked to you about Cleve?
A little, and I cant say as I really like the guy, which is unfair on my part, but I cant get Kaitlins face out of my mind.
What do you mean?
I mean the way she looked after she said yes to Riggs proposal. She was radiant, but Bobbies not. She could be talking about her dog for all the emotion she shows when discussing Cleve, and I just
Jeff left the sentence hang. He wasnt sure what he would wish for Bobbie, and besides, he must have upset Mrs. Bradford because her eyes were filled with tears again.
Dont stop on my account, she said as a single tear rolled down her cheek. Its just that Im afraid that Bobbie is only considering Cleve because she thinks no one else will ever ask her. The words were accompanied by yet another teardrop, and Jeff, who had suspected something like this, felt he could cry himself.
Is it true, Jeff, that no one would want my precious Bobbie? Im sorry. That was unfair of me.
