Jacob was still away when it was time to go to the meeting. She had no idea when he would be back, so Abigail prepared a supper that would be good hot or cold and left it in the cupboard with a note on the table so Jacob would be able to find it. She didn’t like the idea that she’d be away when he came back, tired and hungry, but she also couldn’t spend every waking moment waiting for him to come home.

She washed up and donned on one of her three Sunday-best dresses, the light blue one with the embroidered roses at the collar. Minutes later, she was on her way.

She’d just passed the saloon when Sarah emerged through the swinging doors. Today her dress was the same shiny blue found in a peacock’s tail, and her face was painted even more heavily than before.

“Good day, Miss Abby.” Sarah hurried to block her way. “I heard your wedding yesterday ended a bit in a hurry.”

“I am sure you also heard about the saloon robbery,” Abigail answered calmly. “My husband was called to keep the order in the town.”

“I’m sure Jacob was relieved to end that farce as quickly as possible,” said Sarah. “You should know that there are strong feelings between Jacob and me, so enjoy him now that you can. It won’t be long before he starts spending his evenings at the saloon with me.”

“What are you saying?” Abigail asked, not wanting to believe that Jacob would be unfaithful.

“You heard me,” Sarah laughed at her obvious confusion and pain. “Jacob is mine. Oh, he’s interested in playing at being the respectable husband for now, but it’s not going to last. He is going to get tired of it—and you—in no time”

Before Abigail could answer her, Mr. Jones peered over the top of the saloon door. “Sarah, stop bothering Mrs. Anderson and get back to work.”

Sarah followed Mr. Jones back through the saloon doors, not looking at all chastened, and making sure to send a final smile in Abigail’s direction.

Abigail walked stiffly away, furious at Sarah, but trying to hold her temper. She continued to replay the words of the other woman all the way to the meeting hall, feeling the pain of the betrayal deep in her heart. She still wanted to believe that Jacob wasn’t capable of such deception, but she couldn’t banish the agonizing jealousy eating away at her heart.

Was Sarah speaking the truth? What if Jacob did love the saloon girl, but felt he needed to marry a respectable woman? He wouldn’t be the first to do so. What was she going to do if she found out that he loved Sarah?
