The Judgment

My first thoughts each day are of Silas.  His sensible ways and his family's standing amongst the People make me feel so fortunate.  Oh, that wonderful-gut smile when he looks my way!  But no matter how happy I am to be engaged to the most eligible young man in Lancaster County.  I must admit there are times when I still think of my friend Nick Franco, the bishop's former foster son.  Gone more than a month now.

I must've known a real different Nick than anyone else did.  Almost everyone assumes he's a bad seed-most even believe he caused the death of the bishop's only son.  But when Nick and I were together, I saw his softer side.  That's the part that gnaws at me in the most curious way these days.

Truth is, I ponder where Nick might've run off to....and I wonder if he ever misses Amish life, or me, his best friend....
