Chapter Fifteen

The next morning, Sarah awakened beneath Briggs’s buckskin coat, the fringe tickling her nose. She stretched her arms over her head and yawned, noticing that her long skirt was draped over her legs like a blanket. Sometime during the night, Briggs must have covered her. His kindness caused her a twinge of guilt.

She remembered the day she answered his advertisement for a wife and how she had not revealed her true situation. She had not wanted to admit to herself back then that she was being dishonest. Her marriage to Garrison was irrelevant, she’d told herself. Legally, it did not exist.

But she doubted Briggs would be much interested in the legalities. He’d only care that she had kept something else from him.

She covered her face with a hand and squeezed her eyes shut. She had not known Garrison at all when she’d agreed to marry him. She had been so naive, so lonely after her parents died, she’d only wanted to be loved by someone again. If only she’d been stronger, like she was now.
