William and I sat on the fence and watched the kids sled for another hour, until their parents came to get them. “What all do you do when you’re not with me?” I asked, hopping off the fence.

He took my hand and we walked around my land, leaving footprints in the snow. “Mainly I walk through town. This place is all so new to me.”

“Do you not spend time with your uncle, or any other members of your family?”

He snorted. “I’ve been keeping to myself. My uncle invited me over for Christmas dinner, but I’d rather spend it with you. Besides, he still isn’t happy with me right now. The man can hold a grudge.”

“I wouldn’t worry too much about it. It doesn’t matter anyway.”

Brows furrowed, he faced me. “Why is that?”

Because we are in a dream and none of this is real. Waving off his concern, I said, “All that matters is your happiness.”

Up ahead, Helen walked out the front door of the house, carrying a basket on her arm. She saw us and waved. “Good morning.”

“Good morning, Helen. Where are you off to?” I asked her.

She patted the basket. “I have to run to the market for more food.”

“Great. Do you mind if I join you? I have some things I need to get. Besides, I want to see Hannah.”

William squeezed my arm and let go. “You ladies go ahead. I’ll meet you in town in a bit.”

“Okay,” I said, watching him walk up the hill to his horse. Turning to Helen, I grabbed her wrist. “Do you mind waiting for me? I have to run up to my room.”

She nodded. “Of course. You’ll need a walking dress.” Her gaze moved upward and stopped on my hair. “And to do something with your hair.” She smiled. “Go. I’ll be right here. Unless you need some help.”

“Oh, no. I can handle it on my own. You relax and enjoy the view, I’ll be back soon.”
