She had dinner ready by five in the evening, happy with herself for working so hard. She’d wanted to make cornbread with the beans, but he didn’t have any cornmeal. She’d have to make sure to buy that at the store the next day. When he wasn’t there right at five, she kept cleaning, planning to stop when he arrived. She had the parlor and kitchen floors swept and mopped, all surfaces scrubbed and dusted, and the windows washed in the main part of the house when he arrived. He walked into the house and stared in amazement at all she’d done. His little bride knew how to work. He hung his hat on the peg at the door before walking to the sink and splashing water on his face. She hurried into the room when she heard the water. “You’re back!” He turned to her with a smile as he dried his face with a cloth. “Of course, I’m back. Did you think I’d gone forever?” She smiled, embarrassed now that she had been away from him for a while. “I guess I expected you earlier, but when you weren’t here, I wasn’t sure when you’d come home.”
