- About the Author
She had written to Cleve and told him how she was feeling about their relationship. He seemed almost panicked because his next letter said he was coming to Santa Rosa right away. Wanting to settle things with Cleve as soon as possible, Bobbie had been relieved, but another letter came right after that to say that he wouldnt be able to get away until the spring and quite possibly the summer. It was a tremendous letdown, and Bobbie was discovering that the feeling of being in limbo was not pleasant.
I saw Marcail looking at these last week, Rigg was saying as he pointed to some hair combs and ribbons. And I know she likes lacy undergarments because she touches them and holds them to the front of herself every time she comes in.
Bobbies interest was immediately piqued. Does Kaitlin usually buy her this type of thing? Bobbie held up a childs shift that was bordered with bright blue ribbon.
I dont think she does. Kates pretty drawn to that stuff too, so I think its probably something they havent had a lot of.
Thanks, Rigg, I dont think you need to show me anything else, Bobbie said without looking at him, her eyes on the clothing before her. Ordinarily she might have been embarrassed to discuss intimate apparel with Rigg, but right now her mind was too busy figuring out what she could afford and exactly what Marcail might like.
Bobbies stomach was beginning to growl from hunger before she made her final selection and started home. She was very pleased with her purchase and hoped her ten-year-old friend would be as well. She had only about 24 hours to wait before she found out because Marcails party was right after church the next day.
Bobbie had checked with May about what she could bring for lunch but May told her that she and Kaitlin were preparing everything. The weather over the weekend would have been perfect for a camping trip but Bobbie told herself that she wouldnt miss Marcails party for anything. She also asked the Lord to give them sunshine for the party. It was a selfish request, but Bobbies heart was tender toward Marcail and she wanted everything to be just right.
Just right were the perfect words to describe the day of the party. Marcail waited outside the church and then asked Bobbie to sit with her during the service.
Their pew was full, with Sean on the far end and then Rigg, Kaitlin, Jeff, Bobbie, and Marcail on the outside aisle. Bobbie and Jeff only had a chance to exchange smiles before the service began, but on the first song Jeff leaned to whisper in her ear.
Why arent you singing?
Im trying to hear Marcails voice. Bobbies eyes were wide with wonder.
You need to hear her when she sings with Kate and Sean. The word beautiful doesnt do them justice.
