Grandmother said some other things that I won’t repeat here but the idea is that she made Grandfather see how he had jumped to conclusions, lost his temper, and said things that he should never have said. When she finished with Grandfather she turned to Micah, hugged her, kissed her cheeks, and told her that as long as she wanted, she was welcome to stay.
Without saying another word to anyone Grandfather stormed out of the room. After that everyone went back to bed because it was still very early and the sun wouldn’t be up for a couple hours. Grandmother told Micah she could take the next day or two off if she wanted to but Micah said she would rather be with all of us.
