Day 18


"You know what? I'm gonna make something special for dinner tonight. It's been so long since you've had a meal you really enjoy." said Nali with a gleam in her eyes.

Amazed at his wife's miraculous and speedy recovery and more than a little eager to eat a meal cooked by his wife, Caleb did nothing but smile as he watched Nali pull on her boots.

Nali grabbed her wolf-skin coat and wrapped it around her shoulders before quietly opening the door and heading towards the closet where they kept a basket to store fruits and vegetables harvested from the garden.

As his wife walked outside, Caleb rested his head down on pillow and closed his eyes, tired from the day's excitement. He fell asleep with smile on his face, feeling more content than he had in months.
