Chapter Twelve

When Sadie woke up the next morning, she was surprised she was alone in bed. She fully expected Al to want to finally consummate their marriage now that they had both given and received pleasure the previous night. She got out of bed, washed up, and dressed. By the time she finished tying her hair back with a ribbon, the bedroom door opened.

A smile crossed her face when she saw Al carrying a tray with a plate of eggs and pancakes on it. “Are you bringing me breakfast in bed?” she asked, pleased he’d do something like that for her.

“I was hoping to surprise you.”

“I am surprised.”

“Yes, but I wanted to kiss you while you still slept and then present you with breakfast.”

She closed the distance between them and kissed him. “It’s a wonderful surprise, Al. I doubt other husbands are so thoughtful.”

He grinned. “Well, since you’re already up, you might as well come out here.”

She wrapped her arm around his and walked with him to the table. “It’ll be better this way. I’d like to eat with you.”

He set the tray on the table then turned to her and brought her into his arms. “At some point, I still want to serve you breakfast in bed.”

“Tomorrow morning, I’ll linger in bed a little longer so you have time to do it.”

“Deal.” He pulled out the chair for her. “Since I already made breakfast, I want you to sit down. I’ll take care of everything.”

“You shouldn’t go through such a fuss over me,” she replied, hesitant to sit.

He took her hand and led her to the chair. “I won’t be doing this all the time. Believe me, there will be days when I can barely find time to shave. But there are those rare days where all the animals are doing well and Gilbert’s still asleep. Days like this don’t come often. You got to make the most of them.”

Returning his smile, she squeezed his hand. “Alright.”

She sat down and he pushed the chair in. She thought he would go over to the stove and bring his meal over, but he placed his hands on her shoulders and kissed her neck. Her body warmed with pleasure.

As he turned his attention to setting the table, she folded her hands in her lap. “Is there anything you want to do today?”

“I thought I’d let Aunt Betty watch Gilbert today so you and I can go to town. We can make a day of it, you know? Eat at the restaurant, do a little shopping, take in a nice walk. It won’t be long before enough snow comes and we’ll be stuck here.” Shooting her a teasing grin, he added, “You might want to pick up a dime novel or two to read. It’s likely to get boring around here with it just being me and Gilbert for company.”

Laughing at his joke, she waved her hand dismissively at him. “You and Gilbert are a delight.”

“Even when my clothes get all muddy and
