Hey please remember to review and stuff. I always like constructive criticism and thank you all for reading! :)

James looked at the sky as he and Sarah set off for the day on their trip back to Philadelphia. New Jersey had been fine (though he couldn't get over how there was no story there) and they got the joint that they needed with no issues. The two of them even had a nice place to stay with a good meal when they met with Sarah's friend, Elizabeth. She had been perfectly kind though was in James opinion the most British person ever (well except Sarah) and to him that was not a compliment. She complained of the rebels and having to move to America constantly. Then bragged about her amazing new husband and how they would move back to England after the war. But for now she was here, unwilling to be that far from him. Seeing her and Sarah together was perfectly revolting to James. But all that was behind them now as they started for home. James continued to look at the sky however which was growing rather black behind them and was moving steadily closer.

"Sarah we're going to go a little faster on the way back okay? At Least for a bit" James said giving Sarah a warning that their horse would soon be going at a rather good clip.

"But why must we go faster? We made very good time getting here. We were at Elizabeth's just after supper."
"Yeah but look behind us. There's a storm coming up and I think if we can go pretty quick then we'll stay ahead of it." Sarah looked back and nodded her approval.

"Okay hold on tight" As James instructed her he flicked the reins at Caesar who began to go at a rather nice canter. They soon got into a consistent rhythm and James felt confident that they would be able to avoid the rain that was now far behind them.
Sure enough they found themselves back at the print shop still dry and comfortable. James helped Sarah off and then took Caesar to the barn where he gave him lots of food and a nice blanket after his good work the past few days.

Meanwhile Sarah went into the print shop thinking about what she should cook for supper.

"Hello Sarah. How was the trip?" Asked Moses kindly as she went in.

"It was very nice Moses. We got the part and I saw my friend which was a treat." Sarah said smiling. "I think I will get started on cooking super Moses"
Sarah quickly went into the kitchen where she stoked the fire and started to look for what she should make. No sooner had she turned around from the pantry then Herni was next to her and hugging her middle. "Oh Sarah! I'm so happy you're back. I missed you so much, and your cooking!" The boy shouted with joy.

"Henri I was only gone for two days"

"Yes but it was some of the hungriest two days of my life. I do not cook very well and that made me very sad. And Moses made me clean everything and I had to read so much!" Sarah smiled as Henri continued to go on his rant.

"Oh and Sarah there was a man who came to the house. He sa-"

But Henri was cut off by the sounds of James and Moses working on the press. Enthralled by the idea of watching them put it together Henri ran into the other room to watch and Sarah went back to supper.

Within an hour supper was ready and Sarah was putting out food on the table, yelling for the boys to come in and eat. Henri wasted no time, but was soon told, as was James, that he needed to go clean up after all that work on the printing press.

"Oh Sarah I missed you so much!" Said Henri again as he dug into the food she had made.

"Yeah Sarah. Your friend in Trenton was really nice and all but her cooking is nowhere near the level of yours" Said James, which made Sarah smile very much.

"Well thank you very much James. I really did love getting to see Elizabeth though. She seemed so happy. I was worried she would hate America, but she seems to love it" James interrupted with a small snort. "Okay so she doesn't love it but she adores her husband and that seems to make up for it. Think of her, marrying a general!" Sarah smiled and went back to her food as clearly the men had lost all interest in what she was saying. This was one of those few times when she wished there were other women around to talk to.

"Oh Sarah!" yelled Henri excitedly. "I never got to tell you!" He was practically jumping up and down on his seat at the prospect of giving Sarah news.

"There was a man who came by yesterday. He said he wanted to see you. Something about coming a'coring... I'm not sure quite what he said."

Sarah could feel her mouth sag open as she listened to Henri though she knew it couldn't look very lady-like. Her mind went totally blank and soon all she could muster was a small "Oh"

Henri didn't seem to notice though, he kept talking to her about it all. "I told him you were not in."

"Oh"

"And he said he would come back another day, maybe today but I can't remember"

"Did he now."

"Oh maybe he did not say today. But then certainly tomorrow."

"I see."

"Sarah what is a'coring? Does it have to do with apples? Are you going to core apples for a pie! I love apple pie"

'Um no that's not.." Sarah trailed off. For the first time she noticed James staring at her. His expression was odd. A combination of restraining laughter, sadness and concern. She was sure he noticed how unsarah-like her reaction was, which clearly worried and amused him.

Sarah began to clear away her plate after that, her face getting red at how stupid she must have sounded.

"I think Im going to go to my room and write some." And with that she walked away.
