Nettie patiently waited for the girl to speak and her smile fell a little. How she wanted to believe her. "I hope you're right and he does come back. I just worry too much." She said softly and looked down. "But anyway.." She stood straight and looked up at the church, resisting any urge to frown as she wondered if it was the church that was driving him away since he seemed unhappy with it lately. The blond looked back down at the girl. "I hope you will let me help you. It is nice meeting you." She held out her hand, hoping Mable would shake it. "May i ask why you were wanting to see him? If you need anything, I am here to help in his place. At least to do my best!"
