The wagon ride back to the farm was uneventful. There was nothing really to gaze at, as Samantha tried to look at everything except her husband. She always found herself staring at him any chance she got, to the point where she felt he would have some cross words for her. It seemed every time they spoke they were fighting with each other and all it did was excite her. She had never been challenged before; James had always bended to her will, no matter what. Whatever she wanted, he would give to her. They never had a spat and James never raised his voice to her. They had a quiet and peaceful life with no ruffles.

Seth was different. He always said what was on his mind, always told her if she was doing something wrong, never letting her get into an off routine. She thought this would upset her, but it was refreshing. She felt more alive out here than she did back home.

It put her in quite the predicament. When the seamstress was hemming of her dresses, she inquired as to her relationship with Seth Jenkins. Samantha was not prepared for these types of questions. What was her identity? Was she allowed to say that she was his wife? Did he want people to know that they were married? Should she lie and say that she was a distant cousin back east?

The last part would prove quite troublesome if they ended up having children. She turned white at the thought. Thoughts of children brought other thoughts, and she calmly pushed them out of her head. She had been trying to hold off marriage relations as best as she could, though it was getting harder and harder to avoid her husband. She made it a point to quickly dress and tuck herself into bed before he entered the room. When she felt his body dip the bed, she would
