Then, I looked into our son\u2019s eyes and vowed I would carry on for his sake. I would ensure he knew all about his mother. Being talked into finding myself a wife to help raise him, although you know I opposed the idea, has turned out to be the best decision I have ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow so?\u201d \u201cAt first, I was determined it would only be a marriage of convenience, someone to take care of and help Cassidy while I worked. A woman who would be happy to keep house, and cook for me. I never considered intimacy, Amanda was the only woman I had ever wanted and no one would ever take her place.<\/p>\n

Meeting Georgina made me question everything. I love her, more than I loved Amanda which scared me at first. It\u2019s a different, much deeper love than I\u2019ve ever felt before. Amanda will always have a special place in my heart, in my life, but I won\u2019t deny the love I now have for my new wife. I adore Sophie and feel honored that I have been trusted to raise her as if she is my own.<\/p>\n

She is proving to be a wonderful big sister for Cassidy and when I arrive home after work, she greets me as though I have been gone for weeks instead of a few hours.\u201d \u201cHow does Georgina feel, I know she felt the same as you \u2013 she wanted a husband to help with her child, nothing more.\u201d \u201cYes, like me, she was determined to never fall in love again after Mark.<\/p>\n

She admitted she was looking for stability and someone to help raise her daughter. My wife has confessed, like me, she has been surprised by the depth of love she now feels for me.\u201d I nodded. \u201cI can see the love shining in your eyes when you look at each other. You have that same look of adoration that Betsy and Clyde have. It\u2019s what I want for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll find it. I\u2019m convinced the good Lord has a plan for all of us. You\u2019ll find happiness with a special woman, I feel it in my heart.\u201d \u201cI hope so.\u201d We continued saddling the horses, mounted up and rode out to check fences \u2013 a never ending task on a cattle ranch the size of ours.<\/p>\n

~*~ \u201cFlint!\u201d Travis strode into the kitchen waving an envelope in the air. I snatched it from him and studied the handwriting on the envelope.<\/p>\n

She had answered his advertisement for a mail-order bride a few months earlier. After corresponding for a couple of weeks, she had made the journey from Aubern, five hours from our town of Yarrafield, to meet us.<\/p>\n

It had been a somewhat interesting time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
