by Julie Weston
He sounded like Jacob. All work and no play. What about as partners? In life, say, although that might be a challenge with either of them. Jacob would be more willing to accept a “working” wife than would the sheriff, she suspected. She could no longer even imagine a role as a traditional wife, a life she could not and would not accept. Her sense of oneness with the sky and rocks had not left her when she was taken to the hospital. She wanted to feel it again, to capture it in photographs.
“I can wait for you.” Charlie lifted Nellie’s hand and kissed her palm with his warm, soft lips.
