thought she would be. When Jessie took the reins of Paisley’s bridal and held the horse close to his own horse, Cassandra felt safe.
“Oh my word, Cassandra, what happened to you. You look like a drowned rat.” Rosa looked as shocked as she ever could be when Cassandra and Jessie walked through the door. She had never seen Cassandra like this for many years. As a child she expected it, but at nineteen, it was pure shocked.
“I am fine Rosa, we just got caught in the storm.” Cassandra giggled danced toward the stove.
“Jessie followed Cassandra through the door. “I’m sorry mam, I was hoping to get her back in time. Sometimes storms out here are unpredictable and come up fast.” Jessie didn’t know who the woman attending Cassandra. He was raised to be respectful to everyone and wanted this woman to know he would never let anything happen to Cassandra.
“Get over here with Cassandra by the heat. I say, you both are going to catch the death of a cold.” Rosa ushered Jessie to the stove and went after towels.
Jessie gave Cassandra a look of concern. He had never met the black woman before. He wasn’t sure if he had really believed Cassandra’s story before. He sort of thought Makenzie was hiding from the real world acting like someone else, or that maybe she had hit her head and thought she was someone else at times.
“It’s okay Jessie, Rosa is my housekeeper from Missouri. She is also my travelling companion. I have never been able to go anywhere without her.
Rosa brought towels in and gave them to the young couple who were dripping water all over. She handed one to Jessie and wrapped one around Cassandra’s head. “It will take all night to brush these tangles out of your hair young lady. It is a total mess. You will be lucky if we don’t have to cut it off, and look at this mud. What were you doing out there, having a mud fight?”
Cassandra rubbed her head as Rosa wrapped another around her shoulders. “Rosa, this is Jessie, he is a neighbor.” Cassandra then turned toward Jessie, “Jessie, my travelling companion, Rosa. She is not as mean as she is acting right now.” Cassandra giggled again. “And yes Rosa, we did have a mud fight. I haven’t had this much fun in years.”
Rosa wanted to scold Cassandra, but she would have to wait until later. She would not embarrass Cassandra in front of her friend.
Jessie wasn’t for sure what to say. He knew that Nathan wouldn’t be happy about this. Being caught in a storm wasn’t very logical. This time it couldn’t be help though. Jessie smiled knowing that he enjoyed every bit of saving Cassandra from the violent storm that raged outside.
“I am going to put some coffee on. You two need to just keep drying off.” Rosa turned around and got the pot.
Anna walked into the kitchen surprised to see Jessie standing in front of the stove dripping Wet. When she saw Cassandra, she burst into laughter, “my goodness, Cassandra, you are finding out about our storms out here the hard way.” Anna didn’t mean to be laughing at the sight of her granddaughter, whom she had never seen have a hair out of place, stood there dripping wet like soaked dog. “Jessie, did you drag my granddaughter out in this mess?”
“No I did not. In fact, she found me and we just didn’t make it back here in time. We tried though, about lost her a couple times in the down pour.” Jessie smiled at the older woman whom he adored. He grabbed Anna’s hand and kissed it. “I certainly would never cross you by keeping your granddaughter in a storm like this and make you worry.”
Anna walked over and kissed Cassandra on the cheek. “Thank you Jessie for bringing her home safe. I would really hate to think what would happen to you Jessie, if she occurred any danger on your part.”
Rosa set the hot pot of freshly made coffee on table. Everyone sat down at the table as Rosa poured them all a cup of coffee. “This should warm your insides.”
