I'm very excited to see you here as well. Welcome back! I'm pleased things have been going so well for you on your dream come true farm!
I love this opening. So mysterious and lots of little details that capture my interest.
I love how you described how her head feels after crying. Mostly because that's how mine does, lol.
I'm also surprised Martha wasn't storming down the hill to see what was wrong. But maybe she was just trusting Clark to lure the unsuspecting stranger into the den of cozy compassion. He did a good job!
I'm definitely looking forward to the rest!
