"And for once, no nightmares came. How did she feel when she got it last night? Did she like it? Was she happy? Who was happy? Eli got the woman in the old house on the edge of town a crib. I didn't buy it. Victor gave it to me. You got a liking for that woman? The kid sure took a liking to him. I was just wondering how early you're going to be at her house after breakfast. I'll head out after breakfast. Keep your phone on. We'll call when we're done. I can handle it myself. This house needed too much work. I didn't want to wait for her or Clara to get hurt. What the hell was I doing? What are you doing? Mowing the lawn. Why? It needed mowing. Wanna come in and grab some sweet tea? Morning little lady. Eli, what are you doing? The crib and now mowing the lawn. We're not friends. Why are you doing all this? Victor said you kept looking at that crib, so I figured Clara might not have a bed. And after last night, I could see this place needs work. What do you want for doing all this? I just got back from the military. I don't want anything from you. I just saw you living out here alone and somebody needed to do those jobs. Just friends? Of course. That's how things are in Two Bear Meadow. Neighbors help each other. If that's all it is, then thank you. I really do appreciate it. Thank you, Eli. Didn't we say we'd come help after we finished our jobs? Also, your phone was off. You remember Max? And you met Leo last night? Those two are Jude and Shoyer, my other brothers. Morning, ma'am. Yes, sir, Major Bennett. No canoodling in the kitchen with the baby watching. We were not canoodling. Pops asked me to invite the two ladies to dinner tonight. Iris is making barbecue. I wouldn't want to impose. You won't? Pops has been wanting to meet you and little Clara. We can come back next weekend and paint the cupboards too. You guys have done too much already. I don't know how I'll ever repay you. There's no repayment necessary. I'll sleep better knowing this house isn't a death trap anymore."
