After heating the water on the wood stove, Susan took it to her mother so she could wash up. Katherine carried in a cup of coffee to Edie. Which Edie was most grateful.
Katherine made some sandwiches and a jar of water and packed them in a cloth bag. No time for breakfast. It was just lumpy, cold oatmeal anyway. Katherine was a terrible cook. Susan grabbed one of the sandwiches going out the door.
Katherine helped Edie down the steps with her in the wheel chair. She hated to see Edie leave, she was the only company she had. But she knew how afraid she was of Bill and if she could leave she would, too. Well, she couldn't because of the children. The two women hugged and cried and said their goodbyes, knowing that they probably would never see one another again. Even though they weren't best friends, they were still sisters-in-law.
Susan started down the muddy road. Susan pushing the back of the wheel chair and Edie pushing the wheels on the other side. They came to the spot where Susan hid the bag with the clothes. Of course, it was soak and wet being through the storm. Edie put it on the steps of the chair, after ringing the water out of the clothes.
