Melody and Millie packed up all her belongings and readied the furniture for the move. She visited all her friends and told them she was marrying Brandon. Some of her friends were shocked by her decision, because they knew how much she had loved Henry, but they wished her well. Brandon returned, and they were married on September 10. They had a small ceremony, just the two of them, with Susan and her mother as their witnesses. After the ceremony, they went over to Susan’s house, and her mother served them a light repast before they left for Doncaster.

Susan gave Melody a hug as she said, “I feel this is the right thing for you to do. I know how much you loved Henry, but you do need to move on with your life. I know you and Brandon will deal well with each other, because you have known each other since you were children. Sometimes, being friends is just as rewarding as a love match is. Please write me and let me know how you’re doing, and I’ll write you back.”

“I’m at peace with this marriage. It’s what will be best for both Mary Elizabeth and me. Brandon is an honorable, kind man, and I know we’ll be well taken care of. I promise to write, and please keep me informed about Nelson, Helen, and Kathryn. I appreciate you not telling them about Mary Elizabeth. I’m sure that it’s difficult, since you’re such good friends with Helen and Mary. Thank you for keeping my confidence. Well, it’s time for us to leave. Take care of yourself, and I hope everything works out for you with Arthur.” Melody hugged Susan as she took her leave, promising to write often.

Brandon helped her into the carriage and handed her Mary Elizabeth, then got in. She looked out of her window and watched as she left her home for the last time. She knew in her heart that she would be content with Brandon. After all, he had been her best friend all her life.

They arrived at Doncaster late that same day. As Melody gazed at the pretty cottage with a small garden behind the house, she knew she would be very content here. The cottage had an upstairs where the bedrooms were, and it was beautifully decorated. Brandon had done an astonishing job when he moved in the furniture, and it made her feel as comfortable as if she were in her parents’ home. He introduced her to the housekeeper, Mrs. Worth, and she told them that supper would be ready shortly. Millie went upstairs and unpacked for her and the baby. Mary Elizabeth was tired and started to cry, so Melody took her upstairs to feed her and put her to bed. Her daughter’s room was pretty; it had pink walls and a homemade throw rug on the floor. Brandon had Mary Elizabeth’s crib and dressing table all set up. Soon her daughter fell asleep in her arms, and she put her in her crib.
