She refused to cater to his moody behavior during their time together, which she deliberately limited to a few hours each day. She treated him like a sighted man, and she refrained from offering him anything more than guidance, friendship, and patience. Despite her repeated urging, Micah refused to leave the mansion. He spent nearly all of his time in his suite, although he took meals with Bliss in the dining room. He reluctantly spoke to her, but only when she asked him a direct question. Frustrated by his long silences during their shared hours, she nevertheless continued her attempts to draw him out. By the fourth morning of his stay at Rowland House, Bliss despaired that she’d have to use dynamite to force him out of the mansion. But then he surprised her. Bliss found Micah at the water’s edge late that afternoon. She stood on the low bluff that overlooked the estate’s private beach and paused to watch him. She noted the determined look on his face, and she viewed with pleasure the courage he exhibited as he made his way along the shoreline.
