Woven ~ Chapter 1
She pulled her cloak even more tightly around her and ducked her head into her chest, but the harsh wind still tore at her.
She gingerly glanced at the sky, careful to quickly burrow her face again. The quick glance confirmed the conclusion she had reached before she left her small house – it would not snow that day. She knew, though, that the snow would come. That thought made her hurry her pace. She needed all of her work to be done so that she could be settled into her home when winter came and then rest comfortably until the spring melted the frost.
She berated herself for her decision to walk to the far cottage. She could have taken her cart, but she preferred that her customers not see her prosperity, since it would remind them that they paid her a fee for her services. Her grandmother had taught her that it was important that the families feel that she is a family friend, more like a relative, with their best interests at heart. Generally, she did have their best interests at heart, though on occasion it was sometimes because she knew better than they what was best for them.
Hers was an honorable profession, essential to the happiness of the townspeople and the well-being of the town. She had been born with the gift, the latest of generations of Piezecki’s. She had sat at her grandmother’s feet as the older woman had imparted the wisdom passed down over the centuries. When she was older, she had accompanied her Nana as she visited the homes that needed her services.
Her Nana had been pleased that Alice wanted to hone her gift. It had been the greatest disappointment in her life, sadder than burying either of her two husbands, that her own daughter had had no interest. That daughter, far more gifted than any other mentioned in the family history, had chosen selfishly to use her gifts solely for her own benefit and now lived in yet another grand home a hundred miles away.
Alice glanced up again. She would reach the cottage in just a few more minutes. She was happy to see the thin plume of smoke coming from the chimney, evidence of the small fire in the hearth. It was her intent, though, that once she had arrived, that fire would be stoked to its highest and she would sit by its side until the cold had left her body. She knew that the family would be happy to use the precious wood. She was bringing them happy news, happier that they could ever have hoped.

Gosh, how will Bette enter this picture?! Will farmer John marry off his dowry-less-and-left-behind daughter to a WOMAN in desperation? Will Bette pretend to be a man and marry Tina to “save her honor”? Can that happen? (Yes, if it is a Spumoni story – and she can make you believe every word of it. I still think of Bette’s wolf-in-laws’ visit to Weho. How ARE they doing? Tina’s wolf father also loved her the best of all his children, just like farmer John.)
Love the beginning. Wondering how it will play out.
I *really* liked this! I love the set up and can’t wait to see how the story goes. Alice will find Tina a match yet! Thanks for the post, Spumoni. :)
is this story over? i want to read more…please :)
Just absolutely wonderful and can’t wait to read more. thank you
Fantastic beginning and you always leave us wanting more. How are Bette, Tina, Angie and the wolf family? Thanks for bringing us another story.
Anew story from you is a really nice surprise.Thank you,great start.
Very interesting and can’t wait to see Bette enter the picture. Please post more, thanks!
I’m intrigued. Looking forward to more!
Great story. This should be very interesting to see how Bette will appear here. It sounds like this takes place in a very traditional time where two women being romantically involved is probably not even a concept. I can’t wait to see where you take this.
Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh you’re back with a story that has “Chapter 1” in the title… meaning there’ll be a chapter 2… and possibly tons of further chapters… yayyyyyyyyyyyy :-))))))) Okay, now I’ll start reading… So happy to see you back, Spumoni!
Wow what a setting!!!! I love it
I’m hooked. Mmmmm, how will Bette enter the picture to mate with our Tina? Thanks Friend Spumoni. PPS!
This is amazing. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds. How will Tina’s parents take to their daughter marrying a woman?
Amazing writing as always! No matter the story. But this one is exceptionally interesting in it’s time frame!
OK… So where are we?!? I think I am lost in spumoni’s land of Ti… Bette?? Uhm so where’s Bette?? :-) so eager to read more! Thanks for this promising chapter / story. PPS
