Bittersweet Bliss (Saskatchewan Saga Book #5): A Novel - Plot & Excerpts
It emphasized the emptiness of the ring within the circling trunks; it touched the lone figure... Birdie stepped farther back into the shadows of the room, watching, numb of feeling for the moment, while Buck—partially concealed, clearly discernible—hesitated uncertainly. Finally, with a shrug of his shoulders, he turned, crashed through the bush, careless of being seen or heard, and took himself off toward the barn. Within moments she heard the pounding of a horse’s hooves as Buck flashed past the schoolhouse, heading for the road and escape. Swiftly now, acting on impulse, Birdie went to her desk, opened a drawer, and lifted out a stack of papers, lessons that she had not yet taken time to correct. Perhaps what she needed would be among them. Laying the papers on the desk, she began sorting through them, setting them aside grade by grade, child by child. In spite of the dreadful calm of her countenance, her fingers betrayed her and trembled pitifully, riffling through the pages unsteadily.
