Abby did her best to push Blaise out of her mind over the next couple of months and often failed miserably. But she did become more accustomed to life here.
By accompanying Katie on all of her visits to people around town she got to know the locals fairly well. Once Nyla's son Fai was born she spent a lot of time at her house helping with the other children and keeping them out of her way.
She was reminded of her earlier idea to help implement a school and talked to Katie about it. Apparently, she had tried once while teaching some of the village children to read in the library but had lacked sufficient resources to set something up permanently.
That was where Abby came in. She had been a tutor in both high school and college to earn a little extra money and had a better idea of where to start.
