The Amish Teacher's Dilemma and Healing Their Amish Hearts Patricia Davids (best self help books to read TXT) 📖

was more than enough space for the furniture and belongings he’d had shipped home. “Denke, Lydia.” He felt a bit awkward, as if he’d lost his footing in trying to fit back into the life he’d left behind. “I wouldn’t want to trouble you. I could have taken care of it.”

“It’s my job,” she said simply, but there was a twinkle in the deep blue of her eyes that suggested she understood his discomfort.

There didn’t seem to be anything else to say. “Denke,” he repeated. This new, grown-up Lydia confused him. At moments she seemed to be a calm, poised stranger, and then he’d get a quick glimpse of that giddy, naughty child. He could only hope that everyone he met wouldn’t be equally confusing.

He discovered he was not only returning her smile, he was appreciating the effect of eyes more deeply blue than the depths of a pond and the honey gold of her hair, whose tendrils, loose from her kapp, were drying in tiny curls.

Oh no. He backed off those thoughts abruptly, turning away so sharply that he feared it must look rude. Still, that was better than any alternative. He had lost Rebecca only a year ago, and he had no thoughts to spare for another woman, even if he had room in his heart. His goals were clear in front of him—to raise Becky among his own people, to build a home for them on Daad’s farm, establish his clock-and watch-repair business so he could run it and look after Becky at the same time.

No, he had no time to spare for women. And especially not for one who still contained sparks of the frivolous, pesky child she’d been.
