As it was getting too late for any detailed inspection, I carried all of my gear into the cabin and secured the door. I set a fire in the fireplace an... started cooking dinner.After dinner, as I was cleaning my tack, I considered the situation. It was apparent that Jake could not have built this place on his own. I don’t think that a full crew could get this place built in less than two years. Then the furniture showed a level of expertise that I knew Jake didn’t have. I also knew that Jake. I leaned out the window, "We're here, Bently. There is an ale pub down the street. Come back here in about an hour. I shouldn't be long."Women's Society HallThe Queen and Ann were standing in the middle of the hall and were commanding everyones attention. The place was clearly full and all of the senior members of the society were in attendance. They were mesmerized by Ann's animation and the obvious argument going on between them."I thought I was your favorite granddaughter. At least that is. I despaired of ever getting back with you, and when Tracy took up residence, that finished it for me. I thought you had moved on. I saw you with her in the Griffin, and you looked like a couple.“John, I’ve not been truly happy since Liam fed me those photo’s, but it was made worse when I realised I’d thrown away an innocent man who loved me so much. I’ve realised I’ve loved you all along; it was always there deep down. I’ve wanted you back so badly.”She stopped again, on edge and eager for his. Lost in thought, the first crack of thunder took her by surprise and she jumped. Staring out the windows, Staci was amazed at how dark the sky had grown in such a short time. Quickly she grabbed two dramas and headed for the check out line. Maybe Jill would be up for some cuddling on the couch when she got home and then they could talk later. There were worse things to do on a stormy afternoon.Staci got out of her car and ran into the quiet hallway just missing the thunderstorm that opened up.
