Chapter 67

It was bad enough that Samantha was often rude to her Aunt Helen... but to do that in front of outsiders, as well? Willow wouldn't allow it.

Helen was a kindly soul, and certainly no gambler. If she wasn't tending the fields, then she'd be in the vegetable garden. She was always hard at work. Playing cards, indeed... Aunt Helen didn't know a single thing about cards!
