Coming Up Roses
“Going into Roseburg , visiting the judge, the brief wedding ceremony, signing her name to documents, one forever binding her to Zachariah McGovern, the other giving him parental rights to her daughter.
At least there wasn't time to think, and for that, Kate was grateful. Her life loomed ahead of her, once again uncertain, once again controlled by someone else.
As she had expected, Miranda reacted positively to the situation. She was so excited at the prospect of attending the wedding an...d being adopted that she wasn't even shy around Ching Lee and Marcus on the way into town, which was remarkable. The child seemed to see Zachariah as her bulwark, someone who would protect her from all that she had once feared.
Mr. Zach was going to be her pa! All day long, she kept repeating that, driving Kate half-mad until Zach brought a stop to it by informing the child there was no longer any "will be" to it; he was her pa.
As much as it grated on her nerves, Kate had felt more comfortable with "will be." But as the afternoon gave way to evening and she found herself alone in the house with her child and new husband, the reality of her changed circumstances began to sink home.MoreLess
