Helen stood at the doorway to the parlor, a bouquet of dried flowers in her hands. She stood without fidgeting as she fought a nervous desire to run a hand over her pale blue skirt. The ranch hands and two wives were present to witness her wedding. She fought disappointment that Irene and Harold were absent, and she knew Warren would be upset that the MacKinnons had remained in town. However, a late-season storm threatened, and they had wisely chosen to remain close to home.

Frederick cleared his throat and looked at her pointedly and then at Warren. She walked down the improvised aisle toward Warren with no music or fanfare, but her nerves calmed as she saw the love and hope in Warren’s eyes. When she reached his side, Warren lifted one of her hands to kiss the back of it.

“My Nell,” he whispered, looking deep in her eyes.

Frederick cleared his throat again, and they turned their attention to him.

Throughout the short ceremony, Helen stared into Warren’s eyes, giving little attention to Frederick’s words. She jolted at Warren’s gentle squeeze of her fingers and flushed as she saw Frederick watching her expectantly. She repeated her vows in a clear, strong voice, unable to hide her smile when Warren did the same.

After the ceremony, they moved into the kitchen as it was the warmest room in the house. The men had prepared a small feast, and they relished giving toasts while ribbing Warren. A gentle snow had begun to fall.

As the festivities wound down, Frederick pulled aside the newlyweds. “I expect you believe you will spend your first night as husband and wife in Helen’s small room. However, I’ve had one of the cabins made up for you.” His grin was slightly mischievous. “I fear you might be stuck here for a few days after the storm hits.”

Frederick and Warren laughed when Helen flushed. They followed Frederick outside, across the yard and into a small house. “This used to be the overseer’s house. I’m searching for one for next season, so it’s empty now.”

The one room was furnished with a large bed, a desk and a comfortable chair. “He always came to the house for meals, so no reason to have a kitchen here.” The stove had been lit and had warmed the room. “But food is in the basket there. When you are hungry, come to the house. We’ll keep a path shoveled between here and the big house.” Frederick winked at them and left.
