"It's a jackrabbit, a big one." Jack laughed. "I hope he isn't tough."
She pinched off a piece and tasted it. "Hmm… it is good."
He smiled, "It will be ready soon."
"What have you been doing?" She asked.
"What do you mean?" Jack asked innocently.
"You've got dirt and sand and all kinds of things in your hair." She dusted his hair with her hand, and sand and gravel went everywhere.
"I've wrestled with these two," he pointed to the wolves.
She laughed. Moon smiled at Jack.
"What have you two been up to?" he asked.
"Moon was explaining how I need to be patient about this man thing."
"I'm sure it's hard on you."
"A little, yes."
"But it's working," Jack told her.
"I guess it is!" she smiled.
But her eyes weren't shining when she said it and Moon knew she wasn't happy about it. He needed to pray on it harder for an answer.
Chapter Eleven
The next few weeks were quiet, and Moon, Jack, and Lissa settled into living normally for a while. Lissa took care of the cabin, got the meals ready for the men, cleaned and fed the animals. She liked having something to do, and she enjoyed feeding and playing with the wolves too.
She chuckled to herself, "Who would have thought."
She had one visitor she hadn't expected. A man came to the door one day after moon went hunting for supper and Jack was at the mine.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
"Lookin' for Jack."
"He's in the mine working."
"Oh, who are you then?"
"I'm Lester, want to come in and wait, he'll be back soon." She asked.
"Thanks."
"Would you like some coffee," Lissa tried her male voice on the man but he looked her up and down.
"Sure thing."
She had made some earlier and it was still warming on the stove, she poured him a cup from the pot and sat at the kitchen table with him. She did her best not to show any signs of being female, but it was a struggle. "You a friend of Jack's?"
"Yep,"
"Have you known him a long time."
