“That’s part of the problem. He wanders around mumbling unintelligible stuff, and nobody knows what to make of him. He seems harmless. I mean, he’s been hanging around and hasn’t really bothered anybody, unless mumbling crazy things to people is bothersome.”
Jenn felt herself warm to him even more. “It’s kind of you to try to find a place for him to stay.”
“Not really. He deserves at least as much care as any stray, don’t you think?”
Considering she was a stray of sorts herself, she nodded. “Don’t diminish what you’re doing. I don’t see anyone else running around trying to find the guy a home.”
He leaned back as they were served and gave her a crooked smile. “If Winona’s right, I need to get cracking.”
“She’s still predicting that blizzard?”
“Not only that, but every time she gives a prediction, it seems to have grown bigger and worse. Which brings me to a question. Are you going to be okay in that cabin if the power goes out?”
“I was thinking of getting a kerosene heater.”
He shook his head. “Better to use the woodstove. If you want, I’ll check it out for you when we leave here, make sure the chimney is clean.”
“That thing looks like a monster to me.”
He laughed quietly. “It’s not. I’ll make sure it’s safe then show you how to light a fire. Have you got any wood out there?”
“Some, alongside the cabin.”
“I guess you couldn’t tell me how much.”
Surprisingly, she felt herself smile then laugh. “What I know about wood you can put on the head of a pin. There’s a stack. I have no idea how much or how long it would last.”
“A very good reason to take advantage of a willing neighbor. Me.”
Take advantage of him? She hoped he had absolutely no idea the visions that wording brought to her head. “Well,” she said, “if you’re going to do that for me, I ought to stop by the grocery before it closes and pick up what I need to feed you a late meal. Unless you’ve already eaten.”
