Yesteryear

Chapter 43

It shouldn’t matter that there are other people in Yesteryear. I know that. I know I shouldn’t care; that I should stay focused on my own chores, on being a dutiful mother and wife and servant of the Lord.

But the thing is: I can’t. They’ve come around another two times since I first saw them, that pair of young men. They’re helping Old Caleb replace some areas of rotting fence.

I wish more than anything that they’d leave. I remind myself that I was sent to this place by the Lord Himself and therefore it’s only the Lord Himself who will retrieve me.

Still. I can’t help but look.
