      A Lancaster Amish Storm - Book 2 - Ruth Price

      Chapter 4

      THE NEXT DAY I HAVE a brainstorm, and head down to the Lancaster County Public Library. I haven’t been there in years, and the library reminds me of childhood school excursions, when we were always so quiet and careful of our manners. As soon as I can get back to Faith’s Landing, I find Zach working with Isaac, clearing the weeds from the fields.

      I step up with a little basket filled with a few things I know will brighten their day.

      You fellas ready for a break?  They look up, sweating even in the chilly breeze of the encroaching storm. I open the basket and hold it out to them.

      Isaac reaches in and pulls out an apple, biting greedily into it. Thanks, Katie. If I didn’t have Beth, I’d marry you in a minute!

      Zach shoots his kid brother an annoyed look, but Isaac just shrugs and bites into the apple again. Shaking his head, Zach pulls out an apple of his own, biting into it with a smile.

      I say, That’s very sweet, Isaac. How are things with Beth?  You two planning anything ... significant in the near future?

      Not yet. Soon.  Isaac looks at Zach. I thought this one might marry first, show me how it’s done.

      Another glare from Zach quiets Isaac.

      Rolling my eyes as innocently as I can, I say, Um, I’ve actually got something extra-special for you, Zach.

      Isaac looks at me, then back at his brother. Oh, okay, I’ll, um, I’ll go check on the barn. I’m not sure it’ll hold through the winter. Excuse me?

      We nod, as Isaac strolls away, chewing on his apple. I turn as Zach faces me with an expectant expression, shoulders shrugging nearly imperceptibly. Unable to disguise my smile any longer, I pull my little gift out of my apron pocket, and hand it to him.

      He looks at it, a bit confused. A library card?

      I went down there myself; they’ve got everything!  More books than you’ll be able to read in a lifetime, on every subject; magazines, youth books, even the internet!

      Katie—

      I thought about it, and I decided you were right.

      Katie?

      Why shouldn’t you learn everything you can about anything you want?

      Katie—

      And you can, starting right now!  I thought maybe we could go together; make a date out of it. We’ll go every Saturday, check out some books; they have live readings there, every first weekend of the month—

      Was this Isaac’s idea?

      Isaac?

      He was saying something similar, not long ago.  He turns, calling, Isaac!

      No, no, Zach, it wasn’t Isaac’s idea, silly; it was mine.  I let myself lean a bit closer to him, and my gaze lowers demurely to the ground. I just want to help you, give you what you want.

      He smiles. And it’s very thoughtful, Katie. Really, I do appreciate it. Sure, we can go to the library together. That sounds great.

      I feel a little boost of energy to counter my disappointment. Okay, great!  I give him a little kiss on the cheek, unable to hide my smile. I’ll let you boys get back to work.  I walk back toward my buggy, parked in front of their house, as Isaac crosses me and arrives to meet Zach in the field. I look back, to notice that Zach seems to be glaring at Isaac, who has no idea
