 | After a month of loading hay bales and mucking out stalls, Hanna had become one of the depended upon employees at the ranch. She didn’t flaunt her ability to work shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the crew, and she volunteered when opportunity arose. She ignored the grumbling remarks when she was singled out to show a newcomer around. So when the request came to help Mrs. Johnson in the cookhouse, she automatically stepped forward. “Not you, Hanna. Tal can go.” The smouldering look of disgust directed towards Hanna could have started a fire anywhere Tal’s gaze lingered. |
