Chapter 10

Meanwhile, while David spent those days with his daughter's new family, strange incidents were taking place in Mary's life. She had gotten home and the very next day she went off to the office, planning on getting a handle on all the work that had been left pending in her absence.

Things were different now. She wanted to be a woman again. She had escaped this sad little office with the daguerreotype of her dead husband staring down at her. Had danced and talked and laughed in a way she never imagined she would do again. Now she was home in her office, going through a few forms for a client. Wanting so badly to match him with the most compatible of females, to give him the happy ever after she had been denied.

Had Mr. Montgomery been interested in her? Or was it just her imagination playing tricks on a lonely old woman? It did not matter something had changed and her work was now bittersweet.

Fighting back her tears she buried herself in a stack of paperwork when the door opened. She jerked up and a number of files fell from the table and scattered across the floor. A man stepped in quickly to help her pick them up.

They both knelt down at the same time and Mary found herself eye to eye with this handsome stranger. Quickly she gathered the fallen papers. "Hello, I’m so sorry, it's not usually like this,” she said. “I run a well-organized agency." As she was saying this and gathering the files, the man handed her a stack of papers he had collected. She took them, smiling her thanks and looked into his beautiful blue eyes. For a moment, she thought about David. Had he come back early, but then the man's whole face came into focus and she blushed at her assumption. The man in front of her was not David, but he was good looking, in his fifties and from what she could tell he had come directly from the West.

He smiled at her and she smiled back, standing up, all the papers in her hands now. He bowed to her slightly and she could see he was dressed as a cowboy, complete with Stetson that he held in his hands.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Hawkins is it?” he said. “I was recommended this place by an acquaintance and I have traveled a long way specifically to seek your services."

Mary went around the table and put down the papers. Composing herself she sat, and gestured for him to do the same. Mary couldn't help but notice that the man, thought dressed as a rancher, had a regal look about him and an air of nobility. He seemed like a proper gentleman and Mary was curious as to why a man of his stature would need her services.

"Well, what can I do for you, Mr..?"

"My name is John Robertson. I am here from Texas because I would like to find a wife for my eldest son, Brady.
