LOREN
Given enough time, people could get used to pretty much anything. Phoebe could learn to accept men doing housework and women as providers; maybe even Loren could accept friendship in his life.

Although the healer would no doubt notice, he was going to be busy making bread, apparently, since nothing else would satisfy the midwife. Moving with practiced and sure motions, he put some warm water in a bowl, then added some yeast and sugar. He mixed that all together, then let it sit until he saw bubbles. In the meantime, he whisked together flour and sugar in a larger bowl. Once the bubbles arrived, he stirred some oil into the yeast, sugar, and water, then poured that into the larger bowl. That all got mixed together. It was a bit too wet, so he added flour until the dough was the consistency he needed.

But don’t be weary if it’s broken
