Mercy
I had had my own problems. Piles and piles of horse poo. While Joshua slept, I'd been on the stalls. Now all the horse poo had to be loaded on the wheelbarrow and shoved at a time.
My arms and back ached,and Manuel wasn't cutting her any slack. He worked me hard as he worked the makes. I always wanted to be recognized for my ability but Manuel made me yearn for Joshua's more gently manly ways.
