A week in and she was still missing her father and Athelstan. It seemed like every month or so, the gods were constantly testing her and she wasn't sure she'd have the strength for any more.
Jenna kept insisting that they continue, that she try to find a hobby outside the home, something to take her mind off of things. She humored her by window shopping, but anything that usually took her interest seemed too much trouble; besides, she was too drained from taking care of things in the homestead.
The man just a few feet away did cause her to look up, the way his clothes were was different but familar at the same time-and there was the cross around his neck. Even in this place, the christian cross wasn't a common symbol except around certain festivals.
The homespun tunic and skirt she had on was of a neater cut than home, but it was made by a generous shop keeper, and with half her family gone, anything to keep homesickness at bay was taken.
