The cold, fresh air helped to soothe some of her frustration as she retrieved the bucket from where it had been left. Eva knew she had no right to be so aggravated right now, but she hated seeing him like this. The utter refusal to let her in or even to see that she was trying to understand angered the shit out of her.
She deposited the bucket back into the barn and looked around for someone else to do. Now that the chickens had been fed, she supposed it was trying to let them out to roam for a little bit. Beau could collect them later when she was "too tired" to do her least favorite part of owning chickens. She'd just reached the coop again when he resurfaced.
"Of course I remember," It was one of the first and most personal details he'd shared with her. Still, it did nothing to soften her reply or her tone. Though she had her mother for 20 plus years, she too had lost a parent in her life and knew the void was impossible to fill. He seemed to forget that.
