Tell 'em to go to hell.
“Mom, make something you and dad like. We had a really big meal at cousins.” Martin had a satisfied smile as he spoke. “Mom, I think I should have a light soup.” Oden touched his paunch with a sheepish smile. They truly were pigs today. “Mom, they ate a whole rabbit all by themself.” Anne-Marie whispered in Beth’s ears before giggling “I tried too… but who asked my stomach to be small?” Beth shook her head helplessly “Oden’s father, what do you want?” “I want to roast it on fire…” John’s eyes showed a rare twinkle, but he soon suppressed it “But the neighbors will know for sure. Let’s just do something simple." “Tell ‘em to go to hell.” Martin was a rebel; he never cared what others thought. If he thought it was right, that was good enough for him. “I will set the fire.” He walked out arrogantly. “I will make sure he doesn’t burn this cottage down.” Oden chuckled as he followed his brother. For once, he agreed. He threw caution in the air and walked out to help Martin build the

As long as you cooked it, I will like it.
Mira woke up early with Jack the next morning. She didn’t feel tired at all. She wondered if it was a dream that she got up and worked at night? She went to her work room and checked before coming to the conclusion that it had something to do with her space. Jack milked the cow while Mira stirred all the pails before going in to get breakfast ready. She had baked fresh bread last night; Jack ate breakfast before setting off to deliver milk to his aunt. Mira sat back at the slate stand and worked on the design on the hand sleeves. Mira finished this work as Jack returned. She went and stirred the three pails again before settling in start the work the half-finished work from last week. She scribbled on the parchment 10 before starting. She worked for an hour and stopped. She went in to space and picked up the dead rabbit that she thrown in on Friday. The rabbit looked like it was only killed a few minutes ago; Even the body temperature was still warm. “Husband” She walked to Jack’s

Do you want to adopt a cute and extremely obedient, well-behaved most desirable girl?
Jack was peacefully enjoying his meal when the doorbell rang. Mira had finished eating and was sitting back watching him eating with relish. “I will go.” Jack knew her shadow from the incident hadn’t diminished.” Martin and Anne-Marie stood at the door. “Come in.” Jack closed the door once they came in and walked back to the dining table. “Are you still eating?” Martin asked in surprise. They came this late giving them time to eat. “Have you eaten?” Mira smiled. Anne-Marie shook and then nodded. The smell wafting in her nose and tempting her to say ‘no’ but mom would kill her when she got back. “Ha…ha…ha…” Mira laughed looking at Anne-Marie’s cute expression “Would you like to eat some?” Anne-Marie nodded throwing a side glance at Martin, only to be surprised to see him nodding as well. She got them both plates and plated some similar to what she had done for Jack. “Cousin, do you want to adopt a cute and extremely obedient, well-behaved most desirable girl?” Anne-Marie blinke

Gluttonous angel
Joan turned her head arrogantly ‘There was nothing wrong with what she said. They didn’t lock rooms when the bastard stayed with them!’ Mira held Jack’s hand to calm him and smiled reassuringly gesturing to him to remain silent. “That is my work room.” Mira spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing tone “The clothes in there belong to the lords and their wives. I am afraid that I cannot afford to pay if I damage the clothes, so I never leave the door open even if there is no one in the house.” “There is no need to explain.” Beth apologized “It is my fault I didn’t teach well.” “Says who?” Mira laughed “Didn’t you bring Anne-Marie up? She is an angel.” “Gluttonous angel” Martin chuckled as they came out of the kitchen. Jack closed the kitchen door behind them, and everyone chose to forget Joan’s snide remark. “Mom, look this is the cage cousin made for us.” Anne-Marie showed the cages that the rabbits were kept. “Cousin did you give them food again?” Anne-Marie asked in shock.

Have you offended anyone recently?
Beth was laughing her head out listening to Martin and Anne-Marie’s bicker. She had never had time to sit like this. She was truly grateful to Mira for this experience. She looked up and saw the couple walking together in blissful harmony. Jack was holding the tray and walking beside Mira, nodding and smiling, this was a rare sight; Jack didn’t smile or rather they thought he didn’t smile. This was a side of him reserved only for Mira. Mira was walking beside him holding the pail and chattering non-stop. “Oden’s father, the children are going to be alright, right?” She looked at John for confirmation. John nodded. “Where did you two go?” Martin raised his eyebrows teasingly. “Let’s gather some firewood.” Jack made an expression that read ‘get married if you want to know’ look as he suggested to the others. “Alright.” Anne-Marie jumped up. Joan sat unusually quiet. She wanted to say something mean and disrespectful, but she had just eaten a plateful of really tasty food. She decid

He is a free man like you.
Jack and Mira woke up early as their norm. Jack milked the cow while Mira got breakfast ready. She went out to check on the rabbits in the cage and coop. She fed them with the kitchen scraps after sending Jack off to work. She led the cow and sheep for grazing and locked their paddock. She opened the outside door for the piglets to run amok in the mud pit and left the two dogs in charge of each area. She stirred the furs and picked up the spade as she remembered the fish she had left in space. She carried it with her into the house. She locked at the doors due to the scare from last time. She was not going to open till Jack came back. She entered space with the spade and decided on a spot she wanted to keep the fish. She started digging till she had dug knee deep; she copied Jack’s basin measurement one person long and three persons wide. “Now for some water.” Mira thought out loud as she turned to take the pail with the fish and water. She looked down as she felt a cold sensation o

When did fishing and hunting in my grounds be a crime?
“You want me to go alone?” Mira frowned as she walked out with a bowl of mushroom soup. “No… no…no…” Jack shook his head like a rattle. He didn’t… god knows he didn’t… he just… Mira lifted her eyebrows skeptically as she sized Jack’s guilty face “You did not…” She narrowed her eyes “think that I was going to that …...” “No … no…no…” Jack shook his head denying with all his might, but his red face and lowered eyes were a big giveaway. “Hmph” Mira humped as she placed the soup in front of him and turned to return to the kitchen, but Jack pulled her back into his embrace and hugged her tightly “Love forgive me…please.” He buried his head in her neck acting like a spoilt child. Mira wriggled as she felt ticklish. Jack held her more tightly as he thought she was angry with him and trying to get away. “Love, I am sorry. I ….” Jack spoke in a low voice “You have said it yourself, you have loved him for more than 7 years… you said that you have lived and breathed with a dream of being hi

You think she is a treasure?
Mira and Jack walked towards the rendezvous spot. Jack half expected her leave his hand as they neared but she didn’t. Alina and Jason were sitting canoodling each other under the tree. They didn’t expect Mira to come early. “Cough… cough…” Mira cleared her mouth to make her presence known. Alina and Jason repelled away from each other as they though had been stung. “Mira, dear…” Jason called out in shock. He didn’t expect to come seeing what she did. Mira took a step back, holding on to Jack’s hand tightly. “Mira, we …” Alina feigned a sorrowful expression “I was only pacifying him.” “Mira, why is he here?” Jason asked restraining his anger, his eyes looked at her accusingly. It didn’t matter that he was canoodling Alina a minute ago… that was all well and above board. But Mira to be holding another man’s hand was unacceptable. “Why can’t he be here?” Mira asked with an innocent expression before sighing “He is my legal husband after all.” “Mira ..you…” Jason pointed in anger

What aren't you three telling me?
Mira and Jack started their day the same as every other day. Mira remembered the shelves Jack made for her that were still sitting in the backyard as she was feeding the rabbits. She walked over and pushed them into space making sure there were no prying eyes. Since discovering that working in space made her less tired, she decided to work in space. She worked all morning finishing almost half of the last piece of work she had and went to soak in the hot spring, a luxury she could afford. She wished she could share this secret this Jack but didn’t know how. Before leaving space, she arranged everything neatly on the shelves. She used one of the single shelves to put the freshly skinned furs, currently there was seven. On the next one, she kept the pot of cornmeal mash she had prepared the other day along with the basket of mushrooms she had picked. The one with three shelves was currently empty. Jack returned in the afternoon and set to work on his frames as soon as he finished drin

I used the name of your fiancé in vain
Mira sat in the backyard after Jack left for work and she finished her morning chores. She looked around making sure there was no one around and snuck into space with all the stuff she needed. She was right. Her speed was much greater when worked in space. She finished 4 portions of 2x 2 yards. She snuck back and dragged them to the shed before stirring the four pails of furs and heading into the kitchen. She locked the doors and entered space again to relax in the hot spring. It was really relaxing for her muscles. She relaxed her mind wandered back to events of her previous life. Day after tomorrow was the day, she harmed her mother. She had to avoid it by all means. She got out of the hot springs with a determined gaze ‘In this lifetime, no one could hurt her mother.’ Jack returned in the afternoon and the duo continued working on the hutch. Jack walked over to the plot that Mira wanted to build the hutch and started lying the foundation. While Jack wasn’t paying attention, Mira p
