Nat nodded.  She had done what she felt she had to do to survive and not be put somewhere bad.  It had been a hard life, but she had been strong enough and smart enough to make a life for herself.  She walked to the barn and climbed up to the loft.  She was ready to get back to the life she should have had, but first, she had to have an honest job and a place to live.  Without those things, she would have to remain a boy.  She had not unpacked much in the loft, so it was basically getting the blankets she had brought with her to roll up and attach to her pack.
