Chapter 12

Mary waited for Samuel’s friend to approach.

“Excuse me?” Trevor said. She smiled at the handsome man, and then he stopped in front of her. “I hope I’m not a bother, but my name is Trevor Hills. I’m a friend of Samuel.”

“Oh,” she replied. “Hello, I’m Mary O’Connor.” Damian’s last name caught in her throat. It always brought back so many awful memories.

“I saw you over here by yourself and felt compelled to introduce myself,” Trevor said giving a quick glance back at Samuel. He then looked directly into her eyes. “I hope you don’t think I’m too forward, not waiting for a proper introduction.”

Mary knew right away he was attracted to her. Trevor seemed like a nice man. He’s nothing like Samuel, at least, she thought. She noticed Trevor’s gaze had dropped to Lois. “Oh, and this is Lois.”

“I’ve met Lois already. She has the same lively eyes as you.”

Mary gave a nervous giggle. No one had ever pointed out their eyes shared the same blue shade, but Mary noticed many similarities in their appearance.

“Beautiful,” he said, now staring at her.

If I married a man like him, Lois and I could have a nice life.

Samuel’s friends were all wealthy from what she had been told by Freda, and Trevor seemed no different. What were his intentions, though? Movement over Trevor’s shoulder caught Mary’s attention. “I see Samuel waving at me. I think he’s ready to leave.”

“Oh, well if you ever want to talk, just find me. I won’t be far,” he said, smiling as he turned away.

Marrying him would not only free her from Samuel, it would also ensure she got to raise her daughter free from financial struggle. The only issue was the same one that plagued her before; she would have to confess her lies to him and the whole community. Would he even want her after he knew the truth?

She felt someone looking at her and when she looked up she saw Rebecca, the bishop’s daughter and the third living person who knew the truth of Lois’s identity. Rebecca smiled and gave her a nod and Mary was forever grateful that she had vowed to keep the secret.

Samuel loomed before her. “What did he talk to you about?”

“Nothing much at all.” Mary shook her head. "We just exchanged names."

“Are you ready to go back home?” Samuel asked, his voice soft and subdued.

“Jah, whenever you’re ready.”

“Would you like me to carry Lois to the buggy?”

“Nee, it’s okay. I don’t want her to wake,” Mary replied. Since it was the second time that he had shown any humanity toward her since Beth’s death, she was genuinely caught off guard.

“She must be getting heavy.”

Mary found herself smiling at him. “I’m used to it.”

“Very well,” Samuel said. “Then, let’s go home.”

On the way back, Mary couldn’t stop her mind from wandering. Even the noisy streets couldn’t help her shake a strange feeling. Why was Samuel being so nice all of a sudden? Did he feel challenged due to Trevor’s remarks and actions? Maybe he did care about her in some way.
