Tempting Prudence: The Bride Train - Plot & Excerpts
She hadn’t slept a wink, having to share the bed with his mother and being so aware of Arch sleeping on the floor beyond the curtain. If she didn’t get away soon, she’d lose the last shred of common sense and marry the scoundrel—and regret it for the rest of her life. She set off down to the creek with two buckets to get enough water for washing and cooking, while Arch saw to the other chores. The wind had shifted and ominous clouds gathered overhead. Possibly, it would rain about the time they set out. One more thing to dampen her mood further, as if her spirits hadn’t fallen low enough. When it came time to leave, Mrs. Childers hugged her neck and wrapped a shawl around her shoulders. “Looks like it might rain. You ought not go off without a cover. I’ll loan you my shawl because you said you didn’t have one.” With a stern expression, she addressed her son. “Arch, you go by the mercantile and let Prudence buy some nice fabric, so I can sew pretty things for her. Shame on you for not taking her shopping before now.”
