“That’s kind of you,” she said gratefully. “But I’m not sure I want to know. I thought when we were married I’d have a quieter life. It seems I’m being flung back into the maelstrom.”
“I’ll be with you every step of the way.”
“Thank you, Jake. You’re being very kind to me again,” she said. And she pleaded silently, Please let me feel I can put my trust in him, and let it be justified!
Jake lightly stroked her furrowed brow till the lines were ironed out. “I don’t think we’ll forget our wedding day in a hurry!” he said ruefully, and they both laughed.
