The Mail Order Bride's Deception - Plot & Excerpts
Looking over at the mercantile owner, she saw he was done with the customer he’d been helping. She glanced out the small window, relieved when she saw that Al was still outside. He promised to wait for her to buy his gift before he came in to look for something they could get Gilbert. She wouldn’t have blamed him for sneaking into the mercantile to take a peek at what she was buying. It wasn’t easy to resist looking for her gift. After she made the purchase, she stepped out of the mercantile and hurried over to the wagon. With a teasing grin, he gestured to the package in her hands. “I take it your mission was a success.” “It was,” she replied. “Want a hint?” “No.” “No?” “I want to be surprised when I see it,” he said as he took the package from her and tucked it away under her seat. She grinned. “I can’t help but notice you’re holding on to that package longer than necessary.”
