Despite Maggie’s certainty that the days would drag until Daniel relented on their agreement, she was wrong. There were just too many things going on. Maggie woke one morning and realized with a thorough thump of panic that nearly two weeks had passed since she’d first arrived.

J.D. and her never-ending enthusiasm for everything on the ranch that was new and exciting to her. Even digging up worms with Squire for their regular fishing treks

Jaimie and Matthew’s remodeling project.

Daniel’s house.

She and Daniel had fallen into a routine of sorts. He was up and gone by the time she rose around seven. He’d return mid-morning and take her, and occasionally J.D. too, over to the house, or into Weaver or even into Gillette to pick up one thing or another. She’d also, against her better judgment, selected a bedroom suite for J.D.’s room in the house. But the pickled oak set had caught her eye and before she’d known it, she’d shown it to Daniel, who hadn’t wasted a breath before he’d ordered it.

The luxury of wealth, she’d supposed.

Then later in the afternoon, he would drop her off again at the big house. She knew that he then spent several hours helping Matthew with the hundred and ten chores that never seemed to be quite finished on the busy ranch while she worked on the wood ornaments she’d promised the mail-order company.

Half the time he came in for supper, when he would jump in the shower to wash off the accumulation of sweat and dust before sitting down at the table with the rest of them. The other half of the time he didn’t come in at all until much later. So Maggie fell into the habit of wrapping a plate of food for him and leaving it in the refrigerator in “their” kitchen downstairs.

Not once had she awakened again in the middle of the night to find him watching her from the couch while she’d slept in his comfortably worn chair. Nor had she come across him giving a horse ride to J.D. again, though she knew he’d done so several times since that first.

J.D. was sleeping upstairs with Sarah again. Only Maggie and Daniel were in the downstairs suite. If he’d wanted to take steps toward that “real” marriage bed he’d threatened, he was certainly having no difficulty in waiting until their marriage was a reality.

She was relieved. Of course she was.

Still, Daniel hadn’t given any indication of changing his mind. And that didn’t relieve her. Of course it didn’t.

She flopped back on her pillows, thinking that she was, in all probability, going insane. Since when had she ever been so ridiculously indecisive?

She either wanted out of their agreement. Or she didn’t.

She either wanted to be with Daniel. In all the ways he’d said.

Or she didn’t.

Insane. That was her.

Shaking her head, she got out of bed, making it all the way into the bathroom before her morning sickness struck. But she was falling into the groove of it again. Get up.
