Theresa opened the bathroom door and could hear Bobby humming a song in the shower. She called out, “Bobby? I am just going to put your clean clothes on the counter. Come down when you are done.”
The humming stopped, “Thank you auntie, I’m sorry that happened,” He replied sadly.
“You have nothing to be sorry for. I have always told you that when these things happen on the farm, you don’t have to apologize. You are such a good little boy. Just finish up and come downstairs.”
The three of them had a pleasant evening and dinner to finish off their first day. Joan still would periodically have a look of concern, but as the night drew on, she began to relax.
