"I would like to ask you a question, my love, before I do anything." He was always considerate of her feelings on how he spent money since she had the right to know. "I think it is time to hire some more folks. The boys are doing a wonderful job, but they are needed outside more than in the house. With you on the mend, and me needing to build our homestead, I think we should hire Andrew and Rose Willaby. Rose has experience with household duties and Andrew is a great cook. Andrew would take care of all that is in the kitchen, Rose, if she accepts the role of course, could be a housekeeper of sorts if you are in agreement. That way you can relax while you heal." He gave her a smile and hoped that she would say yes. Normally, Uriel was not one to get into other folk's business, but Andrew had explained the situation and was wanting to start over and make things right with his wife. And while he personally would not say a thing to either of them, he would offer his home as a soft landing spot for the two who would need support from friends for the foreseeable future.

He only hoped that Andrew would turn a new leaf with this chance.
