“It won’t be much longer and you’ll be Mrs. Christopher Williams,” Chris said, pulling Mary onto his lap as she passed by.

She smiled, gave him a peck on the cheek, then jumped back up. “But I’m not yet, so I hardly think it’s appropriate to sit on your lap.”

“I suppose not,” he said with a sigh. “How I do suffer.”

Mary giggled and pulled up a chair. “How’s your book coming along?”

He turned his swivel chair back toward his typewriter and laced his fingers behind his head. “It’s coming along well. Adding Angel to the performers has allowed me to explore yet another side of things. I always figured I’d catch up to Bill Cody’s troupe and interview some of the Indians who were hired on, but talking to Angel has me very excited about devoting an entire portion of the book to native people.”

“You don’t plan to leave me before the wedding, do you?”

It was his turn to chuckle. “Not on your life. We’ll be near Bill when we’re in Europe. He’s touring extensively there this year. I’m sure it will be easy enough to catch up to him and interview anyone who’s willing.”

“So you really don’t mind this life on the rails?” Mary watched his face, knowing that his expression would reveal the truth. To her relief, he remained all smiles.

“I find it invigorating. I enjoy being a part of your act and seeing you receive the applause and accolades you deserve, and I love the travel. Always have. I traveled constantly to write for the magazine before I quit to work on this book.”

“Yes, but it can be grueling, and I know Henry has given you additional jobs.”

“Writing jobs, which is what I’m happiest doing. It’s not a problem to earn my keep by taking on Henry’s requests, so don’t fret about that. I suppose I would like to know, however, if this is what you want to continue doing. Or would you rather settle down somewhere with a house and a little picket fence and a garden? Or maybe an apartment in the city.”

Mary scrunched up her nose. “That doesn’t begin to appeal to me. The fact is, I don’t know what I want, but I know I’m not ready to settle in one place. I hope that doesn’t shock you or cause any problems regarding our future.”

“Are you joking?” He leaned toward her and took her hand. “I couldn’t be happier. I’m not ready to settle down either. I’m quite content to roam—at least for now. Once any children start to come, we can reevaluate the situation.”

Mary felt her cheeks flush. “I’ve thought a lot about that too. I don’t suppose there’s any reason we wouldn’t be able to . . . conceive right away.” She looked at her hands, feeling embarrassed by the topic.

“And if we do, it will be wonderful. And if you want to raise them on the show—I will support that as well. We can have half a dozen little girls who look just like you.
