A Desperate Wager
“Sarah watched the countryside roll by, excited to be out and about. Her father had her cooped up in the London house for the most part.
The fields around Kirkbourne were green now, and Sarah knew it would not be long before they were yellow with corn and rape. She looked up at the puffy while clouds meandering overhead and could not help the feeling building up that all was well with her little world.
Nate had plans to give her leg splints to his saddle maker to see if something kinder and less... restrictive could be fashioned for her. Until then, he preferred to carry her around. Sarah had mixed feelings about this. She loved that he cared for her and did not want to be injured by the braces, but she had managed just fine with them for the years since her accident and she was not impressed with his fussing.
Besides, it made her feel as if her father had been neglectful—and he had not been—not really.
Nathaniel’s gloved hand rested in hers and they sat in companionable silence.
