“You鈥檙e implying that I鈥檓 not presentable in public unless I have a full face of makeup on.鈥�
鈥淣o. I absolutely did not imply that.鈥�
鈥淚 suppose I should take three hours to curl my hair, too, right?鈥� I make my voice tremble. I am the victim of horrendous misdeeds. 鈥淏ecause I鈥檓 not pretty enough the way I am? I suppose you鈥檙e embarrassed to bring me around your family unless I conform to society鈥檚 impossible beauty standards for females?鈥�
His eyes narrow. 鈥淵ou鈥檙e right. Your hair鈥檚 an embarrassment in its natural state and your face is so anti鈥揻emale beauty that if you go out like that, I鈥檇 insist on you walking backward and ten feet away from me. I want you to go upstairs right now and paint yourself unrecognizable.鈥� He arches his eyebrows. 鈥淒id I do that right? Are those the words you鈥檇 like to put in my mouth?鈥�
My chin drops. He lowers his gaze to a newspaper and flicks the page. He did it for dramatic effect. I know he didn鈥檛 get a chance to finish reading the article he was on.
鈥淎ctually, I鈥檇 like to put an apple in your mouth and roast you on a spit,鈥� I say.
鈥淕o ahead and wear pajamas to dinner, Naomi. You think that would bother me? You can go out dressed as Santa Claus and I wouldn鈥檛 care.鈥�
Now I genuinely am insulted. 鈥淲hy wouldn鈥檛 you care?鈥�
He raises his eyes to mine. 鈥淏ecause I think you鈥檙e beautiful no matter what.鈥�
Ugh. That鈥檚 really low, even for him.”

“Maybe her silence was another way to express scorn. There is a saying: empty vessels make the loudest sounds. Maybe that was the principal behind Naomi鈥檚 silence. Maybe she was emptied, spent, angry.

“Consider Ruth鈥檚 evening walk from the barley fields to town. That difficult walk home must have reminded her how alone she was; not because she was new in Bethlehem, but because she was tired, carrying a heavy bag of grain, with no husband to help her.

I was rambling and I knew it. Yet it was the blank expression on Lachlan鈥檚 face that made me stop talking. His eyebrows were pinched together. Eyes scrunched as if he was trying to peer very carefully at me.
