After breakfast the following morning, Robert told Minnie to hurry with the dishes so they could go to the store. “The storm looks like it will hit by this afternoon, and I want to make sure that we beat it home.”

Minnie nodded. “I’ll hurry.” Truthfully it would only take her a few minutes to do the dishes even if she didn’t hurry, but she didn’t tell him that. It was better to let him think she was an obedient wife—at least for a short while.

As soon as she was finished, she bundled Olivia up in her warmest clothes, then watched as Robert took her. “Am I ever going to be allowed to carry my daughter again?”

“When you’re not around me and expecting, sure. I don’t think you should be lifting her right now.”

Minnie shook her head with a laugh. “I hope you know that I’m strong. There’s no reason to think I won’t carry this baby to term.” And there was no way she could avoid lifting her little girl for five months. It just couldn’t happen!

He shrugged. “Then humor me.”

She quickly put on her coat and mittens, wrapping her scarf around her face. “All right, I’m ready. Let’s do some shopping.” She was surprised at how very excited she was to shop. When she’d been married to David, she hadn’t enjoyed leaving the house a great deal, because she always had to worry that her bruises were covered. Her new marriage was so different than her first that it was a surprise every day.

They walked side by side, and she looked around at the beautiful village. She hadn’t really taken the time to take it all in when they’d first arrived, and the only time she’d left the cabin since was when she’d had to use the outhouse or when she’d had to take Olivia.

“It’s a charming little village,” she said, her finger itching to get out a sketchbook and draw all the little homes, as well as the two rivers that merged there at one end of town.

“It is. I’m so glad you can see the beauty of it.”

“Why wouldn’t I be able to?” she asked with surprise. “How could anyone miss it?”

“Some people would be so up in arms that they were living so close to natives that they wouldn’t notice the quaint beauty surrounding them.” He stopped in front of a building that looked just like all the others. “This is the store.” He used his free hand to open the door and led her inside. “Mr. Harper, I want you to meet my wife, Minnie, and our daughter, Olivia. Minnie can put anything she needs on my account.”

“All right,” Mr. Harper responded. The man had long gray hair and a gray beard, which surprised Minnie. She would have expected a younger man to be doing his job.

“It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Harper.” Minnie looked around her, feeling her hopes fall. There was little in the small store, but she searched and found things that she needed.
