Caroline lifted her face to the warm sun, enjoying the gentle breeze tickling her cheeks. Julia would have a perfect day for her wedding in the town square. Though she wondered at first why Julia wanted to have the wedding in town instead of at the ranch, she understood after she told her about the number of friends she made during her time working at the Juniper House. Both the hotel manager and owner, along with many of the staff, planned to be in attendance.

She lifted her hand to her lips to stifle a giggle. If anyone would have asked her two years ago which one of them would be married first, she would have said herself. Strange how God has a way of changing the most obvious of plans.

Look at her. A year ago she never dreamed she would be in the Arizona Territory with her brother and her best friend. She would not have thought she would have met a man who caused her heart to race every time she saw him.

She hadn’t asked if Thomas would be there today or not. From what Hannah told her, his schedule for the Express only allowed him one weekend a month in Prescott. His other stays were midweek. She didn’t think that either Julia or Adam were close enough to him to make sure the wedding fell on his weekend in town.

Regardless, she hoped he was there. None of Hannah’s warnings kept her from thinking of him. She wasn’t sure how much she trusted Hannah’s opinion of him. After all, she had said that she and her first husband left Ohio to get away from him. That sounded like she didn’t care for him as much as she might try to convince others she did.

Caroline sighed. Though the day was about Adam and Julia, if Thomas was there, she would try to spend more time with him. His kisses left no doubt that there was something between them. He even seemed more agreeable after she suggested they start over.

Julia pulled the wagon to a stop in front of Lancaster’s boardinghouse. She hopped down before Will or Ben dismounted, reaching up for her nephew. Will helped Hannah down while Ben assisted Caroline from the back.

Brushing the dust from her skirt, she looked up when she felt eyes staring at her. Was her skirt accidentally caught on the wagon or something?

“Need some help?” Thomas’s voice sounded behind her.

She glanced down noting there was nothing wrong with her attire. When her gaze connected with his, he smiled then pointed towards the items in the wagon.

“Oh. Sure.”

“Hannah, dear!” Betty’s voice announced her presence near the wagon.

“Betty,” Hannah said. Anything further was cut off by a huge embrace.

“Let me see that grandson of mine.” She fussed over the baby then turned her fussing toward Julia in the form another big hug. “Are you excited, dear?”

“Very.”

“Caroline, dear,” Betty greeted, headed her way. She barely blinked before being crushed against Betty’s bosom. “Hannah tells me you are looking for a place to stay.
