The sun shone down hot on her shoulders, and Ellie shaded her eyes. They were supposed to arrive today, and she was nervous. It had been a long and dusty trail, and Ellie was relieved it was finally over.

Before she had left New York, Ellie had received one more letter from Adam. It described him a little more. Tall, with broad shoulders. Dark hair. Brown eyes. She didn’t know fully what to expect, but the letter had closed telling her that he would be meeting her at the post office, and that he would be wearing a white cowboy hat.

A few hours later, Ellie was standing in the post office, holding her bag nervously. She didn’t see anyone there with any hats on, and she was starting to wonder if he had forgotten about her.

Suddenly, there was a light touch on her shoulder.

“’Scuse me, Ma’am, but I believe you are the one I am looking for.” Ellie turned and her eyes met a tall dark stranger. She saw right away that he was wearing the white cowboy hat, and her breath trembled.

“You must be Adam… I’m Ellie,” she said. She hoped that it wasn’t obvious that she was nervous, but then again, it looked like Adam was nervous, too.

“Adam Westfield,” he said. He kissed her hand, and offered to take her bag. Ellie gave it to him, her heart pounding in her chest.

She took his arm, and walked with him outside to the buggy. It seemed odd to her that they were to be married within the hour, but she still pushed it all out of her mind.

The wedding was over quickly, they really just needed the preacher man to make if official, and they were off. Ellie didn’t know what to say on the ride out to the ranch. She just sat silently on the wagon seat beside Adam.

There was something that was attractive about him, but Ellie was still nervous. This land was so different than anything that she had ever known, and she missed Will.

“There it is,” Adam broke into her thoughts. There, down the road a little way, was the house. She could see the mountains rising high in the background, and there was a wide river to the east.

It looked like there were at the top of a valley, and she could see for miles. Ellie’s breath was literally taken away from her. It was the most glorious sight that she had ever seen.

“You like it?” Adam drawled.

Ellie didn’t speak. She couldn’t. She just looked on with wide eyes and nodded. She didn’t know how to describe this feeling, but for the first time in a long time, she felt like she was home.

*****

Life in Montana was far from anything that Ellie thought it would be. It was as though she had entered an entirely new world. The hardest part of it was, she didn’t know if she wanted to join this world.

She had been happy in New York. She was married to a wonderful man, they had a wonderful life together, and she knew what to expect.
