"I worry about our Celeste. She’s lovely. I hope she’s
able to see herself realistically. Your eyes need to smile when you look at
her. Really, she’s going to look just like you someday. Speaking of
appearances, you look gorgeous in rose. You wore rose to the courthouse in
Broken Bow that day. When I asked you what you wanted for a wedding present,
you said a cherry tree, garden seeds, and a garden. When you asked me, I said
that I wanted you. As I remember it, we both got what we wanted. Next summer,
let’s return there for a day. We can pick cherries and well…I think you know
the rest.”
“I would have married Sylvie and been miserable. It was when
I saw you in the moonlight that I changed my mind. You had on that soft pink
cotton dress and those Cinderella type shoes. Your hair was back on one side
and the moonlight enhanced your features. You looked at me for the briefest
moment and stole my heart... You were tall and slender with that full mouth and
those shy but inquisitive eyes. Something gave when ours met. It might have
been that humble sweet way of yours. I thought I would die before I have to
touch you. There you were at the dance the next night. Even then, before I took
you and your charms into my hungry arms. I knew I’d found my life mate. I've
never had any regrets. Sylvie got the inheritance and Ida’s house and her world
of greed and emptiness. I got you.”
