30 - JENNIFER

Happy Valley Ranch, Nebraska Territory, USA, Monday, December 24, 1855

Jennifer sighed. She watched Jake through the window of her father’s cabin as he walked back to his own. Another lost opportunity.

“Don’t worry, honey. He likes you well enough.” Dwight smiled at her over the brim of his coffee mug. “He’ll make his move soon.”

“Well, he’s taking his own sweet time about it,” she groused. “I may have to make the first move.”

“Remember Jake didn’t grow up in the Republic,” Dwight said. “He grew up with contemporary American girls, who most definitely don’t behave like girls in the Republic. You don’t want to scare him off.

“Besides, one of the things I like most about him is his old world manners,” he continued. “Just give it a little time.”

That was all well and good for an old goat like her Dad, but she was a young woman in the prime of her life. She hadn’t been laid since her breakup with that asshole Steve Brown, almost four months ago. And don’t think I haven’t noticed you asking Jake about his Mom, either. Or that you haven’t mentioned Susan Riley since you met Anna.

Jake had a high quality photograph of himself, his brother Paul, and his mother, taken at Jake’s graduation from the military academy in Pennsylvania. Anna was certainly a beautiful woman, so she didn’t begrudge her father’s interest. But at this rate, her dad would hook up with a member of the Carlton family before she did.
