Mail Order Matron (Brides of Beckham book 9)
“She stood quietly waiting, hoping he would hurry. Her train had arrived an hour early, which she was told was unheard of. She finally sat down in the waiting area of the train station, as if she were waiting for another train to arrive. She hoped he hadn’t forgotten her.
When Edward arrived in town ten minutes before the train was due, he immediately went to the mercantile. Trains were always late, and he wanted to get a fair amount of supplies before he picked up his new bride. When h...e was finished, he was surprised to see no crowd waiting and the train already in the station. He rushed to the platform, but there was no one there. Finally, he went to the waiting area, hoping to find his new wife and saw her sitting quietly looking quite forlorn. He didn’t introduce himself right away, but looked at her, learning her. She had blond hair and blue eyes. She looked like she’d been a beauty when she was younger, but years and hard work had taken their toll. She wasn’t ugly, but she certainly wasn’t the sort of woman a man fell at the feet of, which suited him just fine.MoreLess
