Juliana made a beautiful bride in the gown she and Harriet had sewed, and Harriet had to keep wiping the tears away as she saw how radiant her friend looked. Parker looked very handsome in his black trousers and white starched shirt.

All in all, it was a beautiful wedding but all Harriet wanted to do was leave and go home. Michael had a striking-looking woman attached to his side and, without being told, Harriet knew it was his fiancée. They were well suited, even though she felt as though Michael was forcing himself to be attentive to Beatrice.

Harriet was further puzzled when, in the next few days, Michael seemed to spend more time at Parker’s ranch than on his own farm. And each time he came, he sought her out. At first it all seemed friendly, but then Beatrice Fox decided to visit the ranch.

“I saw you at Parker’s wedding. Why did you come to Kearney?” Beatrice was smiling sweetly and Harriet smiled back.

“Julie and I want to start our own shop making wedding gowns and gowns for other special occasions. We couldn’t do that if I’d had to remain in Boston.”

“Oh!” Beatrice seemed slightly taken aback. “Did you make Juliana’s wedding dress?”

Harriet nodded. “We worked on it together. Did you like it?”

“So much!” Beatrice sighed dramatically and Harriet frowned at Julie, who was rolling her eyes. “My own wedding is in three weeks’ time but I’m worried,” Beatrice continued in a small voice. “Michael loves me very much but sometimes I feel as though his interest is being diverted from me. He’s the only man I will ever love.” She placed a hand on her chest and gave a small sob. “It would completely devastate me if he didn’t go through with the wedding. My life would end then.”

“Oh, I am sorry.” Harriet was quick to offer her sympathies, while Juliana merely wriggled her nose. “I’m sure Michael loves you very much. You’re a very beautiful and sweet lady, and the two of you will be so happy together.”

“Thank you!” Beatrice cried, taking both of Harriet’s hands. “Do you know what would make me so happy now? If you could agree to make my wedding dress. You seem to be very good at it. I will pay you a good sum. Really, I want to look beautiful for Michael so he will only love me and think about me.”

“We would be happy to do it.”
