Heat started in her stomach and rose to her face. The familiar, bone-melting fire in his eyes and deepening of his voice, caused her to wiggle and squirm. She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand. “Sun’s gotten a lot stronger.”

Lucy Benson watched the exchange between the couple under the birch tree. She was so angry, her hands shook as she grasped her parasol. Never in her life had she been denied something she’d wanted, until now. For as long as she could remember, she’d had her eye on Nathan Hale. Handsome, tall, blond, strong, easygoing, he represented everything she wanted in a husband. She’d always resented that mealy-mouthed Amy he’d married.

She’d bided her time, and when Amy finally died last summer, Lucy made her move. She cried daintily into her lace handkerchief at the woman’s funeral, patted Nate’s arm, and consoled him. During the gathering at the Hale house following the funeral, she’d stood by his side the whole time, seeing to the guests, and acting as hostess. She’d even forced herself to deal with his little brats.

After giving him a reasonable time to grieve, she hinted about him re-marrying. In the beginning she stopped by his house, but the noise and chaos unsettled her. Instead, she visited his shop, managing to arrive at mid-day, oftentimes carrying a basket with food Cook had prepared.

Nate always treated her with respect and friendliness, but no matter how hard she tried, he never picked up on her suggestions that he find a new mama for his children. Not a role she relished, but once they were married, she’d find a way to get them out from underfoot.

Desperate to have him act, she told him of her papa’s plan to send her to Europe, hoping he would ask her not to go. Instead, to her chagrin, he encouraged the trip. Since Nate was a true gentleman, she assumed—wrongly, it seemed—he intended to wait the full year of mourning before he took another wife.
