Blynn is happy for a moment of peace. She starts doing the laundry again–not that she let it linger in the hamper too long–but she is more conscientious about the process and happily hangs the clothes and bedsheets on the line as happily as can be expected.

But through the flowing bedsheets she can see the barn that no longer belongs to her, that belongs to her…what do we call her? Her…stepdaughter. Nope, that doesn’t sound right. But legally it is and legally the barn belongs to her stepdaughter.
