Chapter 6

Happiness and hope washed through Claire at his words. She’d been worrying since she saw the house that he would find out about her past and decide she wasn’t good enough for him and his friends. He didn’t seem to feel that way though, unlike some of the men she’d dated in the past, not that there were many. She spent too much time working and trying to survive to have much time for dating.

She looked down at her plate as her face heated.

“Thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me. You’re the one who’s done what it took.” He watched her a moment longer. She felt his gaze on her even though she refused to look up, instead, focusing on her food and eating for a couple minutes. After a moment her embarrassment passed. She was able to look at him again, wondering how she’d been so lucky to be paired with a man she found so attractive.

She’d expected someone significantly older than her own twenty-three years. Someone so unattractive, either in appearance or in personality, that the only way they could find someone to marry them was to send away for them. Instead, it seemed she had been lucky enough to be paired with and married to a man who saw what she’d done as intelligent and not selling herself as she’d feared. As she let that sink in, she became increasingly more comfortable.

It didn’t hurt that he didn’t seem to think she was overweight. Sure, he’d said so but saying something once was easy. It would be how he treated her over time that let her know how he really felt. Though, she had hope, for the first time in longer than she cared to think about, the future was looking up.

“You’ve told me about the late notification, and that you had to get married by your thirtieth birthday, when is that by the way?” She knew it had to be soon or they wouldn’t have been married by proxy. It might even have passed already.

“Two days ago.”

“Oh! Then happy birthday. I’m sorry to have missed it.”

He flushed.

“You couldn’t have known.”

No, she couldn’t have but that didn’t mean she couldn’t do anything.

“How did you celebrate?” Two days before made his birthday the 8th, she’d have to remember that so she could do something special next year.

“Celebrate?” He looked confused. “I didn’t bother. It was just another day and not a special one at that.”

“That’s not true. It was your birthday. Another year on the planet and anything ending in a zero means not just another year, but also another decade. It’s a big deal.”

He watched her, the beginnings of a smile crinkling the corners of his eyes.

“I think having you around might be good for me. Tell me, what would you do for your thirtieth birthday?”

She fell silent. She always celebrated her birthday, but in ways that most people wouldn’t understand. And some didn’t think was much of a celebration.

“I’m not sure. Maybe climb a mountain. Go somewhere I’ve never been? I still have a while until I hit that milestone.
