Love Rules
“Although it looked small, not much would go in it for a while. He laid the foundation and set up some of the walls, but he ran out of material. He’d have to go see Mr. Jenkins.
Maggie went to the creek to do the wash. She hauled the clothes in an old basket from the shed while Jesse watched her. How long would it take to bring Maggie around to his thinking? She’d been through a lot, and he was more than sorry for her troubles, but he couldn’t change the past. All he could do was look to the... future. He’d learned some patience through the war and he could wait. She was well worth waiting for.
His loins still tightened in the same old familiar way when he looked at her, and calming his responses was not always as easy as he tried to make it look.
Sometimes he could barely walk. Maybe she would learn to trust a little more when they were married. Despite what she might say about marriage, Maggie wanted it. Deep down she was that kind of woman.MoreLess
