Chapter 17

Charity woke the next morning and walked to the window in her room, her thoughts spinning. She had hardly slept the night before, and she was very tired now. It was difficult for her to focus, and though she tried to follow a single thought, it was next to impossible for her to do so. Chase had been very quiet toward her the night before, and though she had wanted to talk to him, he didn’t seem to really want to talk to her about anything.

She had tried to get his attention about several of the things she had seen at the general store, and had even tried to tell him what she was going to do with the material she had purchased, but he didn’t seem interested in anything she had to say. He was even quiet about the visit he had paid the Jackson estate—though she had tried several times to hear how it went.

Charity didn’t know how to get him to open up and speak to her about those things, and though she very much wanted to hear how things were going for him, she didn’t want to pry. She still didn’t know how she fit into the mix with Annabelle working with Chase—or if she was just getting in the way. As jealous as she felt about the relationship that was growing between Annabelle and Chase, she didn’t want to do anything that would ruin his happiness.

If Chase wanted to be with Annabelle, there was nothing Charity could do about it, but at the same time, she didn’t know if she was willing to give up—just yet. She knew she was developing feelings for Chase, and she wanted to see where those feelings went. She didn’t know if she was in love with him, at least, not fully, but she wanted to know if she could find out. She liked how she felt when he was around her—there was a safety with him that she didn’t feel with anyone else—even with her own family.

To see him with Annabelle was enough to make her heart feel as though it was being ripped in two, and she hated it. She wanted Chase to be happy above all else, but she didn’t know if that meant she was going to have to give up on her own happiness to make it happen. He had acted very strange toward her when she had been riding home with him the day before, and she knew that it had to have something to do with the fact she had been talking to that man in the general store.

If she was perfectly honest with herself, she had to admit that she had done so to make him jealous, and she believed that it worked. He had certainly appeared to be jealous over her talking to the man, though he hadn’t mentioned it to her on the way home. He hadn’t really talked much about anything, and though she thought her own silence would be enough to get his attention, it hadn’t been.
