The Stolen Bride
“She refused to think about the fact that he had not agreed to let her journey to America with him. She refused to think about the years they had shared, when he had never once suggested that he might love her back.

They had agreed that he would remain in the woods for the day, as there was no way he could steal into the house without, in all l...ikelihood, being detected. Now that she knew he was back and being searched for by the authorities, she feared the imminent arrival of British troops. He seemed remarkably calm and unafraid, insisting he would hear their approach long before they could ever find him.

She’d finally had a moment to actually assimilate all that had transpired.MoreLess
