Again, she had gathered her wits about her, put her emotions down deep inside, and endeavored to move on. She had made one decision. If there was any way possible, she would not make again. She was feeling more and more like some sort of bad luck omen when it came to men. She knew their life was difficult, but enough was enough. She would dedicate her life to her children and her work, and avoid men as much as possible. It sounded like a good plan to her.
Sitting on the steps of her wagon, she sipped some of the berry tea that Silken had left for her, and watched Another One with his sweet treat. He would have to have a bath when he was finished, but at the moment, he was certainly enjoying his lolli. As for herself, she was feeling very guilty. So many had extended the hand of sisterhood to her, but she had just not been up to returning that grasp. That would change. Perhaps a talk with Tarra was what she really needed right now. She had been wrong to seclude herself as she had. Maybe a bit of laughter with her sisters would ease the pain that she was feeling inside.
From a small box beside her, she picks up one of the chocolates that Tarra had sent over. Popping it into her mouth, she savored the creamy sweetness of it. It was not hard cinnamon candy, but it seemed to appease the craving that she had. In a way, she was a bit like Tarra. She could take or leave chocolate, it was something that she had just never developed a taste for, but when she was pregnant, she always craved sweets of some kind. She would definitely have to thank Tarra for thinking about her.
Yes. It was time for her to suck it up, rejoin the people that she loved so much, and to resign herself to the fact, she was most likely about to be single again. Her heart ached at the thought of that, but hen again, if he did return, she was not all that sure she had not lost him already.
