CHAPTER NINE

“Best wishes to you and your groom,” Jude said, bending before her, his expression one of joy. “You are to marry the best friend I’ve known.”

“I believe that,” she said, sitting beside Chloe in the settee.

Jude paced before them. “He will be gone no more than two weeks’ time, will you be married as soon as he returns or do you wish to wait for your parents to approve the match?”

“My parents,” she whispered and stared into Chloe’s face. “I hadn’t even considered them...” The discomfort she felt had her standing and going to the window and staring out at the mist shrouded evening. Frederick had been gone less than a day and the longing for him had her forgetting her duties. But did she need to consider them? She faced Jude for the answer.

“What would you do? I have always tried to be a dutiful girl but it seems impractical to wait for their approval when...”

“When?” Chloe asked, a smile crossing her lips.

“When I don’t want to!” She laughed. “I want to be married as soon as heavenly possible.”

Jude pulled her into an embrace. “Then I say, write to them and tell them and allow that to be their notice. I am more than certain they will readily welcome Frederick into the fold. What fool wouldn’t?”

Chloe joined in the embrace, her warm body pressed against Martha’s back. The joy that welled up inside her had her laughing. “I’m getting married sooner rather than later. I’m so happy. Thank you for your silly games, cousins.”

“I could think of no one else good enough for you...or Frederick.” Jude too laughed

“Now,” Chloe inserted. “Let us go about planning for your wedding. For as soon as he returns, we will officially make him family.”
