Cade's Justice

“I have nothing to offer but room and board for your labors, Emma. If you can accept that, you’re hired. Don’t worry about the loss of your clothes. I’m a little taller than you, but we can take up my hems. As for your other possessions, I’ll loan you enough money to get by until…well, until the school begins producing an income.”

At Jayne’s generosity, a feeling of expanding warmth filled Emma’s chest. But her friend was trying to get a fledgling business started. Emma knew the offer of a loan, along with room and board, would be too great a burden to manage.

Emma blinked back threatening tears. She couldn’t jeopardize Jayne’s chance for success. “You’re too generous for your own good. We both know the charity you’re offering would put too great a strain on your resources.”

“It’s not charity,” Jayne said hastily. “You’re a wonderful teacher! I’ve wanted you on my staff from the beginning, just as I wanted you for a partner. All the fire did was…hasten things a bit.”
