The wagon hit a deep divot in the road and she lurched into Lenny’s shoulder. Garret had requested she sit up front beside him, but she’d graciously declined. Graciously, meaning loudly and borderline rudely. She was angry, hurt, scared, and above all other emotions, embarrassed. Hearing Wyatt call out their sham of a marriage in front of the town in such a manner was mortifying. To make matters even worse, Garret had thought it necessary to yell at her as they left the barn. He was furious she’d talked to Wyatt, much less danced with him. As if she’d had a choice in the matter. She’d responded that Garret should go back in and finish his night of dancing and fun with Anna, whom he apparently should have married in the first place! Yes, a petty response, but he had embarrassed her greatly in front of so many strangers, and the words had tumbled out of her mouth before she could stop them. At least it had made him shut up so she could hear herself think. The three hour ride home seemed to stretch on for much longer, and the void, filled with an uncomfortable silence.
