Landchester Amish Love: Sarah (Amish Romance) (Landchester Amish Love Series Book 1) Read Online Free PDF Page B

She didn’t bother making any dolls. Eventually, it was bedtime and the three Moore women went to their rooms.
    Being tucked up in bed, Sarah went through the conversation she had with Ruth. She was right. They were all made in Gott’s likeness and as she loved Gott , she would need to love herself. It was dishonorable not to. She would get back in touch with her friends and begin to live her life. She knew she couldn’t just jump in right away but meeting for a kaffe was a good start. She had enjoyed her chats and kaffe with Jacob.
    She pushed any thought of engaging Jacob in a discussion about whether he liked her or not to the back of her mind. Sarah couldn’t do that. It was too brazen. Jacob may not like forward girls and she couldn’t judge him now especially with his reaction to her dolls. She really didn’t know him at all.
    There was a knock on the door, it was morning and time to get up. Sarah wondered where the night had gone. Despite sleeping during the day, she had slept through the night too. She would put foolishness behind her and do what she could to like herself and dare she say it, love herself. She was the likeness of Gott . She kept reminding herself of that. It came to her that if only the pretty girls married, then all the ugly girls would be single but that wasn’t the case at all. She could think of examples where girls whom she deemed not to be pretty or have blond hair were married to quite handsome men. Beauty was in the eye of the beholder.
    Sarah could see things differently now. It was as though she had been wearing blinders and they had been removed. As she went about her chores, she found herself being distracted by thoughts of Jacob. He had said she was beautiful. He wouldn’t say such a thing unless he believed it. He wasn’t in a silly mood when he said it, he was annoyed with her. Was it worth asking him how he felt about her?
    Caleb had arrived. He felt it prudent to have a presence around his familye home. He had felt bad for Sarah but he didn’t want her going through what he had. He was just trying to protect her and their reputation. He wasn’t sure his mother could cope with gossip. He found Sarah and wanted to apologize but of course, he had to add it was for her own good.
    “Caleb, I don’t wish to speak of yesterday. I would like you to take me to Beiler’s store. I need to talk to Jacob.”
    “I’ll take you but why are you going there? Weren’t you just there yesterday?”
    Instead of lying, Sarah told him about Jacob and her feelings for him. She wanted to clarify if he had feelings for her. Caleb didn’t like it.
    “Sarah, you shouldn’t do that. Gut Amish women of your age don’t ask men if they like them. You’re not a child.”
    “ Danke for acknowledging that fact, Caleb Moore, but it didn’t stop you talking to me like I was your child. Let’s go. As you say, I’m a woman and I can make up my own mind, at least until I’m a fraa and then my mann can tell me what to do and think. But you are not my mann or father. Just hush up, Caleb.”
    Caleb knew better than to argue with Sarah. They rode to the store in silence. Sarah was concentrating on how she’d broach the subject of her liking Jacob and the question of if he felt the same. Knots were developing in her stomach and her heart was beating faster. Sarah was feeling light headed and just as Caleb was turning into the car park of the store, she grabbed his arm.
    “Caleb, take me home.” Sighing with relief, Caleb turned the buggy and they headed home.
    “What happened? If I can ask, that is.” Caleb looked at his schweschder . She was so tense.
    “I couldn’t do it. I’m trying to brave. Jacob made me feel at ease. I never felt uncomfortable in his company and I enjoyed our chats. He isn’t someone I’d naturally gravitate towards, being so loud and big.” They began to laugh. Jacob was definitely loud and big.
    “Love will find its way to you, Sarah. Trust in Gott .”
    As they
