Excerpt
Amos
finally figured out how to be a good fiancé. He’d just skip it.
“I think
we’re going to move up the wedding.” His folks would be disappointed to miss
their eldest son’s wedding, but the way Sophie leaned into him during their
parting last evening, he was confident she wouldn’t oppose the idea.
William
stopped the bucket in his hands before a drop splashed into the trough. The
momma hog snorted in disapproval, hopefully from the lack of water. “Hadn’t
heard Pastor Gable was coming in earlier.”
The wind
shifted, and Amos wrinkled his nose. One didn’t have to see the hogs to know
they were near. After setting the scrap bucket near the gate, Amos covered a
yawn. It wasn’t the anticipation of another milk run that had kept him up. But
the lack of sleep was worth it because it earned him a plan. “Thought Sophie
and I could travel his way. Save him a trip, or we could head to the nearest
town and—”
William
raised his brows and emptied the bucket of water. “Now you know plain well
Margaret has her heart set on Hilltop celebrating your wedding.”
Momma
hog dipped her snout into the water, and air bubbles filled the trough. She
lifted her head with a more encouraging expression than William’s. If only
Margaret would let Amos and Sophie get a word in to each other during dinner.
Discussing flowers and lace and cakes wasn’t particularly helpful in
establishing a relationship.
