They both woke up early but the temptation of having his soft and warm wife snuggled in his arms was too great for Jack to resist. They indulged shamelessly; Mira leaned bonelessly in his embrace as they reached the peak of bliss together. They realized that they had left their dresses back in space after regaining their senses. Mira kissed Jack as she transported them to space. They decided to take a dip in the hot spring so that Jack didn’t have to go to the stream to take a bath. Mira realized that the hot spring also has healing properties as she saw the telltale marks left behind by Jack disappear as she dipped in the spring. They quickly dried themselves using the linen Mira had left on a tree branch and came out in their unique style. Jack quickly went to milk the cows while Mira busied herself making Jack’s breakfast. He was going to be seriously late for work but luckily for him, he had the horse that he had to return to the tavern. He went straight to Almera’s dressmakers t
Second chance at happiness What are sisters for?
Friday mornings were always the busiest. Jack milked the cow and went to deliver the milk to his aunt’s house and get the cart while Mira stocked up fodder for the animals in the barn and refilled the rabbit hutch. She took a quick bath and went inside after locking all the doors of the barn and letting the dogs who had grown into a considerable size out to roam the entire space. She quickly prepared and packed their breakfast in a basket. Jack arrived as she wheeled the first stand out of the work room. Jack came up to help her when she pushed him towards the kitchen “I will wheel this one. Get the two from the outer shed.” “Um” Jack quickly bought the two and loaded them before helping Mira with the rest. Mira left the stands and the basket with Jack to load while she went and locked the outer shed and the kitchen door. Mira fed Jack as their usual norm when they rode out to the city. They were neither late nor arrived when they arrived at Almera’s shop. Jack kissed his wife goodb
Second chance at happiness Paws of my husband!
“Mira, this week I won’t give you any of my work.” Almera pursed her lips that were curling up as she saw Mira’s grumbling face. “This week, I want you do these four dresses for me.” Almera took out four clothes which were black, blue, pink and a beige color. “This one is for Thomas’s mother.” She pointed at the beige one “She really liked the work you did last time on that off-white dress.” “Um” “The black is one of the prominent ladies at court. She wants everyone to know she is mourning her husband” Almera pursed her lips in ridicule “in style.” “Her orders were that black should be the next ‘it’ in court.” Almera giggled before telling Mira how much the lady hated her late husband who had at least 10 mistresses. “Then it truly must be a showstopper.” Mira didn’t have any sympathy for cheaters. Almera laughed. “The other two are casual wears… do what you like.” Mira nodded and stood up “I will go to your brother’s store and be back.” “You’re here.” Aldrin almost stood up in

Mira told him about the order for tomorrow. They decided to put their plan for second hutch into action. They decided to go to the woods and gather the stems and wood required first and then set for hunting towards dusk. They returned home and placed the gold sheets as always 2 each on either pile or locked everything away before heading into the woods. They came back with enough stems and woods to work for the time being. Jack made the frame just like last time for Mira to weave before starting on the framework for the hutch when the bell chimed. “I will get it.” Jack walked to the side door and opened it to see Martin and Oden waiting near the side door. “Come… come...” Jack opened the door wider for them to enter before locking it. “Did you just come?” Oden asked curiously as they walked to the area by the hutch where Mira was weaving. “Nope” “So, were you purposefully hiding?” “Huh?” “Mira’s friends were here … they ran the bell and waited a long time before heading back.”
Second chance at happiness Do you know what grave danger you were in?
The man went out with the basket but came back in a few mins. Jack and Mira were surprised when the bell chimed again. They even more surprised to see the man standing with a wide grin. “May I come in?” The man scratched his head “I forgot to ask something.” “Um” Mira nodded; Jack knitted his brows as he sized the man. The man entered and stood to the side that was in the cover of the door and gestured for them to close the door. He took out a parchment and scribbled something while he asked loudly “You said that you could supply for a family meal. How many were you thinking when you said that?” “2 to 4” Mira responded although she exchanged doubtful gazes with Jack. “Oh… so it can only be a small family gathering” The man chuckled “My master’s family is quite large you see.” “I will let my master know.” He handed the parchment to Jack before saluting with a chuckle and leaving. Jack opened the parchment “You are being watched.” Mira smiled gratefully at the lad who entered the

“Big brother, it wasn’t Jack’s fault. I decided not to tell anyone.” Mira could see the pain in Oden’s eyes. She didn’t want this to be the reason for rift. They were all Jack had as family. Oden looked at Mira in confusion. “We didn’t want you to be in a difficult position.” Mira pursed her lips and lowered her head “We thought ignorance is bliss. I was wrong. I apologize.” “No need.” Oden waved his hand “But you should tell me if you are in trouble.” “Um” Jack and Mira nodded after being told off. “Son” Matthew prompted again noting that they had conveniently gone off topic. “The official story was that someone had committed murder and escaped from the room they were locked up in.” Oden turned to look at Matthew “But I heard from a reliable source…” Oden corrected himself “from the first master’s daughter that they originally intended to ask for a man for man…” “Are you saying what I think you are saying?” Harry narrowed his eyes. “Um” Oden nodded. “What is it?” Martin asked
Second chance at happiness Dad, our little sister seems to have fallen in love.
Oden and Martin decided not to tell the rest of the family about what they learned today. Their thoughts were simple, they didn’t want to worry mom and dad. Matthew and Harry wholeheartedly supported their decision. Anne- Marie’s mind was still on the little bunny she left behind and did not pay any attention to the chattering of the adults. She leaned on Oden’s shoulders and fell asleep. “Mom, we’re home.” Oden announced as he pushed the door open. John was also home; he just reached a few minutes earlier. “Dad” They called out in unison as they saw John. “How did it go?” “All done” Oden nodded happily. “Why does my little girl look sad?” John ruffled Anne-Marie’s hair as he looked at her depressed face. “Nothing.” Anne-Marie responded flatly. Joan, Emma and Beth came out hearing the noise. Joan was about to make a rude comment along the lines of Mira mistreatment when Martin’s chuckle stopped her- “Dad, our little sister seems to have fallen in love.” Oden laughed as Anne
Second chance at happiness If either of you cross my path or touch my people again, then vengeance will be my solemn oath.
Mira and Jack woke up the next day filled with energy and fighting spirit to live life to its fullest with the haze in the deepest corner of their hearts dissipated. Mira sat down to work once Jack set off. She changed her routine to cook dinner and leave it in space before starting work so she could work uninterrupted without worrying about dinner. Alina and Jason kept up with their persistence and came close to 1pm. Mira heard the bell ring but decided to ignore it. She was working on Thomas’s mother’s gown today. She chose to embroider the whole gown with pink lily flowers, a pink lily garden in full bloom 4 inches from the hem of the skirt. Each flower full of life with the the petals done in light pink and hot pink and the stalks inside beautifully detailed with tiny yellow beads. Just as she finished the last flower, she heard the door opening. She came out of face with a beautiful smile which soon faded as she saw the faces behind Jack. Jack blinked reassuringly as he walked
