Chapter Fifteen

They decided to have a fall wedding. The blistering hot days of summer would be past, and it would also be a quieter time on the ranch. It still only gave them a few weeks to arrange everything, but they only wanted a simple wedding. Hayden had asked Josh to be his best man and Sara James was going to stand up with Felicity.

Royal and Caleb were acting quite typical of boys their age, making no bones about the fact that they found the whole idea of romance quite disgusting. Secretly, though they both loved the idea of their older siblings being married. Caleb loved that there was someone in the house who could continue to expand his learning, but he also found that the need for all of that had lessened some with the presence of his new brother to share things with.

Royal was really starting to come out of his shell and Felicity soon forgot about any doubts she had had regarding his well being. He was in love with his new life at the ranch and was looking forward to going off to school with Caleb in the fall.

The only issue left unsettled was a job for her father. Up until now he had been happy to be a visitor to the ranch, but Felicity was quick to pick up on his restlessness and lack of purpose. Her father had always been a hard worker, and not having a job to go to every day was starting to wear on him.

Felicity happened to mention that one day when she and Hayden were talking. When she described the kind of work that her father had done, he shrugged. “I’m afraid there are no vineyards around these parts. Not even many farmers. Mostly just ranchers around here.”

Felicity stewed over that for a moment. “But surely there must be some kind of work he could do. He needs to feel productive.”

“I understand that Hayden agreed. It’s a hard thing for a man not to have a place. Let me think on that for a while. Now getting back to us, would you like to take a trip away? A honeymoon of sorts? After the wedding?”

Instead of answering, Felicity asked, “Is it important to you?”

“It is if it’s what you want. I aim to start off our marriage as you would like it.”

“Well then, if it’s all the same to you, I would prefer to just get right into our life as husband and wife. Up until now, I’ve felt a bit like a visitor. I want to start making a home for us.”

“I want that too,” Hayden agreed. “And I plan to build us our own place next spring. “

“Then it’s settled. No honeymoon.”

Felicity paused. “There is one thing I do want to do though, and I’m not sure how you will feel about it.”

“Anything,” Hayden said without hesitation. Felicity smiled at his eagerness to please.

“Would you mind if we removed that big steer head hanging over the bed in your room?”

Hayden didn’t think it was possible to laugh any harder.
