Hannah might be his future bride, but she was carrying his brother’s child.

Maybe she’d decided to refuse his proposal. Judd had to be prepared for that.

“Let’s walk. When you’re ready you can tell me what you’ve decided.”

Judd waited for Hannah to speak. He’d promised he wouldn’t rush her, but it wasn’t easy to keep still. It was as if she held his life in her hands.

“I don’t suppose you’ve heard from Quint,” she said at last.

Judd exhaled slowly. “You know I’d tell you if I had.”

She clasped her hands, her fingers flexing and twisting. “There’s not much we can do except wait, is there?”

“You and I can wait. It’s the baby who can’t.”

“I know.” She turned to face him. The setting sun cast her features in soft rose-gold. “That’s why I’ve decided to accept your offer, Judd. Until Quint comes home, I’d be honored and grateful to be your wife.”
