As they walked toward the lake once again, Miss Hazel was thinking about the man beside her. She was very attracted to George, but she didn’t know if she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. That was a major decision, and she wasn’t sure she was ready to make it on two days’ acquaintance. And she wasn’t sure he was ready to make it either—though he did sound as if he was.

“What would it take for you to be convinced that I’m the man of your dreams?” George asked quietly. He knew she was attracted to him, but what would it take to completely win her heart? What had Stanley had that he didn’t?

Miss Hazel frowned, shrugging. “I really don’t know. There’s something special about you, George, and I feel more for you than I have for any man since Stanley’s death. If anyone could convince me to marry again, it would be you. But . . . I’m not sure I’m ready to commit . . . especially to a man I’ve only known for a few days.”

“So getting to know me better would help you?”

“Yes, of course it would. We’ll spend as much time together as we can during my time here . . . and we’ll make a decision together.”

“I don’t need to make a decision. I already have. If you’ll have me, then I’ll marry you. It’s that simple in my eyes.”

Miss Hazel stopped walking. “Have you ever pursued a woman the way you’re pursuing me? Have you ever put everything you had into trying to convince one woman to marry you?”

He sighed. “I haven’t. I’ve never looked at a woman and known my life wouldn’t be complete unless she was at my side. That’s what I thought as soon as I saw you.”

They walked down to the lake and stood watching Bob and Betty build their dam for a few minutes. “Have you made a decision about what to do about Bob, Betty, and their babies? We should probably name the kits, but I can’t figure out how many there are . . .”

“No decision has been made. I promised I wouldn’t kill them, but I think they will need to be moved so they don’t destroy farmland. I know you love the critters, but them keeping their homes here is far less important than the famine that would result from reduced farmland. Human life has to be more important than beaver life.”

“I guess it does. I just think the beavers are cuter and better behaved than most humans I’ve met.” Miss Hazel watched as Bob swam through the water with a stick in his mouth to put on the top of the dam. “There you go, Bob! Dam it!”

“Did you say what I think you said?”

“I told him to dam it. Build his dam on the lake. Why would you think I said anything else? Do you look for people to use bad words, George?”

George sighed, putting his arm around her shoulders.
