    Summary

    The first time she laid eyes on her husband-to-be, he was squinting in the bright light of afternoon and offered her the mare someone had no doubt handed him the reins of and told him to bring to her. "I hope this beast conveys my sincerest regrets," he offered, which had taken her aback.
