**Hopefully the underlining works but if not, all of the post titles above are links. I occasionally forget that my theme doesn’t highlight links. Thank you Priceless Joy for pointing that out to me. 🙂
The oven lay cold as Wolf lost himself to thoughts of the past. Normally he would be getting the ingredients ready to make fresh bread for the boys’ suppers. Today he was remembering their last conversation.
He lied when he told Mouse that they fell apart due to her marrying another. In truth they fell apart because of his own naïve actions.
Wolf could still remember his surprise when the baker asked him for a private conversation.
**
The baker seemed like a giant in comparison to the table he sat at. “Michael, I don’t like you. I don’t pretend to like you.”
Michael shifted in his seat. “Sir?”
The baker narrowed his eyes. “I’ll get to the point as I don’t think you’ll understand otherwise. I don’t want you around my daughter.”
Michael swallowed back the anger. “Sir, I know you don’t want me around Aislinn. Why are you telling me this?”
“Aislinn believes that you will marry her. She always was fanciful but I cannot allow these ideas of hers to continue.” The baker shuddered. “I am prepared to offer you an apprenticeship if you stop your friendship with Aislinn.”
Michael opened his mouth to say no. He wanted to say no. He wanted to tell the baker that Aislinn was worth so much more to him. But the promise of a roof over his head and warm food to eat every day was too tempting. “I’ll do it.”

I wish you had links to your other posts on this Serial Series. I remember reading your other posts, but I have been reading so many other posts that it would be nice to click on the links and refresh my “overworked” brain. LOL. I do remember it being good and so is this one.

Thank you.
I actually have links at the beginning of each post to all the previous ones. My theme doesn’t highlight or underline links so they may be difficult to spot. Each post name in the first paragraph is a link to that post. 🙂

Okay, I didn’t see them. I’ll go now and look

It’s understandable I keep forgetting that my theme hides links in with the normal text. I’ve underlined them and made a note linking to you as a thanks for pointing out the issue. 🙂
