Two weeks later Jemma read the letter three times and each time she smiled. She liked this man who made light if his broken heart and the fact that if she decided to meet him she would have to be prepared to help him mend.

I am not looking for a woman to fix me but one who understands that I am a broken instrument that can still play a good tune or two.

She found him to be a man who embraced the reality of what his life was and that was something she could appreciate.

"What are you smiling about?" Megan asked.

She held up the letter with a big grin. "I think he might be the one."

Megan took her time reading the letters before she smiled and turned back to Jemma. "He sure spins a good story. How do you know he is for real?"

"I don't but I am willing to find out," Jemma replied and that she was. The letter said he was from Minnesota and she was happy she would not have to travel far.

"When do you meet him?"

"In two weeks on the other side of the state," she replied joyfully. "I hope he is as sweet as his words are."

For the next two weeks Jemma envisioned her John in every kind of way. She thought of him as a man of honour, a drunk, a surly big bellied man and even as a mute. She tried to prepare herself for every possibility. She was so nervous Megan had to feed her cups of chamomile tea.

"What if he doesn't like me?" She constantly asked.

"Then he would be a bit thick in the head," Megan responded with a smile as she helped Jemma braid her hair and get ready for bed.

"What if he is an angry man?"

"Then you treat him sweetly and hope that a soft answer each time will help."

Jemma wasn't so sure about that one. She had seen angry men who took their rage out on the world and she was not interested in a man like that. She would most certainly go back to Texas if that was the case.

"Stop worrying," Megan demanded and tried to sooth her before bed. She crawled in and prayed that come the weekend her three hour trip to meet this John Whitter didn't spell ill for her.

The following Saturday her heart was beating faster than that of the horses she often saw galloping around town. She tried pacing to calm herself and that didn't work.

"Tell her if she doesn't calm down she is going to drop dead before she meets her husband to be," Auntie Jasmine said to Megan.

"I already did that," Megan said with a sigh.

"Tell her if she is so worried maybe she should just stay here and forget it," Auntie Jasmine said louder, dropping yet another hint that she wanted Jemma to get married but at no point did she suggest she do so and move clear across the country.

"I did that too," Megan said, "but I really want her to go.
