Chapter Six

The pastor was more than happy to marry them the next morning, right after her own sister!

After the vows were spoken and the kiss shared a roar went up around the room of the closest friends and family to both couples, but no sitting in the buggy on their way back to the house Carrow was more than nervous. Sadie was going to stay over with Clayton’s grandma for the next few days to give them time alone together and that was the time Carrow was excited for yet scared witless about.

She was ringing her hands dry until they parked out front and Clayton pulled her hands apart to help her down.

She must have looked as if she was ready to bolt because he held one of her hands tightly. “Easy there,” he said warmly, “Where did you think you were off to?”

“I was going to make you some lunch. It’s almost noon, you know,” Carrow said with a quick smile and tried to get away again.

He nodded and got to his feet. “I only have to go in for a little while to sort out some papers. I was hoping for an early supper and then some alone time with you.” He looked up at her from under those golden silky lashes, light jade eyes looking at her hopefully.

She melted when he turned that smile on her, it wasn’t fair, but her nerves settled and she smiled back.

He looked dazed for a moment.

“I’ll make you supper and give you the alone time you want if you hurry. My nerves can’t take too make waiting, the excitement alone could kill me.”
