Chapter Six

When they got back to the shelter, Brody offered to sleep on the floor while Esther and Coral took the bed. In a way, Esther was relieved, because she would feel funny sleeping with her new husband with her sister watching, but in a way, she was disappointed. She liked being close to him already.

Brody stepped outside while the two ladies got ready for bed and crawled between the sheets. While they waited for him to return, Coral asked, “You like him, don’t you?”

Esther blushed but nodded. “So much more than I’d thought I would. And he doesn’t mind you staying with us either.” Mostly, he didn’t mind anyway.

“I know I’m going to be in the way. You don’t have to lie. I’ll do my best to find a man as quickly as I can. No one here knows my reputation, and I think that will help.”

Esther giggled at that. “You make it sound like you have a reputation for being a wicked woman.”

“Well, we both know it’s not that. I just—I need to find a way to control my urges to always show how smart I am. The boys in school were intimidated by me. Most people I’ve ever met have been.” Coral sighed. “I need to find myself a man who is either so brilliant, he outshines me in every way, or one so simple, he doesn’t realize how smart I am. Men just don’t seem to like smart women.”

Esther frowned at that. She’d had no idea her sister was insecure about her ability to catch a man. She knew that both Jeremiah and Brody were intimidated by her though. Why wouldn’t a man look at her and think about ways she could enhance his life? Instead of feeling like they were less because of Coral’s abilities.

“I wish I knew what to tell you. I certainly don’t think you can hide who you are for long.”

Coral shook her head. “I shouldn’t have to. I suppose men might be different in Montana, but we’ll see.”

The door opened, effectively ending their conversation. Brody looked at the two women lying in the bed, and wished he could be the one beside his new bride instead of her sister. There was always tomorrow.
