His Impassioned Proposal (The Bridgethorpe Brides) - Plot & Excerpts
Soon it would be too cold to spend much time outdoors. Jane studied her watercolor painting and frowned. She couldn’t get the coloring right where the beech trees had begun to change. Not orange, not yellow, but definitely not the fading green of the heath around them. She didn’t realize she’d sighed aloud until Hannah spoke. “What’s wrong? Are you missing Stephen already?” “What? Oh, why no, I wasn’t thinking about him. He’s only been gone a few days.” But now she could think of nothing else but the man in question. “It’s all so sad.” “Your painting is sad?” Hannah asked. “No, silly. Stephen. He’s had so much put upon him in such short order. And then I add to it by not accepting his offer.” Hannah snickered. “That was not an offer any respectable woman could accept. Do not trouble yourself about it. He will offer again, sober this time, and you may accept then.” “Do you really think I should?” Lowering her paintbrush, Hannah squinted at her.
