"Looks like were going to be getting some summer rain" Charity said observing the
cloudy sky, "Jonah and Pa need it for the corn that's almost ready for harvest" Leah bit
her bottom lip in thought, "You know soon summer will be over and you and Jonah will
be married soon after" Charity smiled and nudged Leah, "Ethan and you spend a lot of
time together I am noticing wherever he is you are sure to be and wherever you are he is
sure to be, I am surprised he hasn't came over here yet" Leah smiled, "Me too" she
whispered with a laugh, "I was wrong here he comes" Charity said rolling her eyes,
"Hello Ethan" Charity called out, "Hello ladies" he said politely taking a seat next to
Leah, Leah smiled and took his hand, he smiled.
Leah sat in the same rocker Martha sat in a month ago; sewing in her dress brushing the
floor her cap hanging on her dark hair, a light hit her windowpane, Leah got up and
looked to see Ethan standing on the lawn, Leah opened her bedroom door quiet to not
wake her Ma and Pa, and headed out the kitchen door into Ethan's waiting arms, "It
could rain any time now" Leah said, "Well My Leah it would be good the harvest needs it
not desperately but it would help" Leah lead Ethan to the porch and sat on the swing with
him, "I only have seven more classes before I can be baptized and hopefully married,
Charity said after she gets baptized then about three months later she's a married woman"
Leah sighed, "after I get baptized I hope that I can be married and have kids, raise them
good and watch them grow" Ethan smiled, "You now my love for my culture" Ethan
said, "I am glad you came out here and honestly Leah, I just wished that you came sooner
before me and Martha maybe this courting could be a more higher point" He smiled,
"don't fret Ethan I think we both know that yesterday is history tomorrows a mystery and
today live full that is why it is called the present it is a gift from god each day" Ethan
took her hand and kissed it, "You're a smart girl Leah life lessons and morals are very
valuable to me it shows me that things aren't always what they seem like me and you, I
though we were through that day at the fence and now here we are Amish and courting,
living life breathing and loving everything around the land" he smiled a bit Leah laughed,
"One day I'll be a wife and a mother" she said quietly, "Hopefully very soon, hopefully
in the next two to three years maybe sooner I hope" Leah didn't hear all of what he said
just the first part.
