Welcome to another Tuesday Tales day. Brrr. There's snow on the ground. It's so great to be able to stay inside and cozy up to these wonderful stories. Today we have another episode of "Sam's Decision". Don't forget to bop on over to the other authors and read their terrific tales. You'll find them HERE.
****************************************************************
Early
the next morning, Sam took the bright sunshine as a good omen. He finished his
breakfast in three gulps and set out to Violet’s house. With the sun on his shoulders, he walked quickly,
easily making his way along the now familiar path.
After a firm, confident rap on the
door, he shifted his weight, waiting to be let in. Finally the door was opened.
“Sam?” Violet said. “Come in.” She tugged
on his arm and he stepped across the threshold.
“Morning, Miss Violet.” Sam looked
around, surprised to see they were alone.
“Morning. Can I get you some cider?”
she asked. “Do you want to sit by the fire?”
Without the sunshine on his back, his
body shivered slightly. Was it from the cold or nerves.
“Yes, thank you. You’re mightykind,”
he said, taking a chair by the fire.
Violet rushed out and returned
quickly with a mug of cider and sat next to him.
“Violet, I’ve come to see you on a
matter of great urgency,” Sam said, pushing to his feet.
“Yes?” Her brilliant turquoise eyes
made contact with his.
“It’s about what we discussed.”
“Oh?” she raised her eyebrows.
“About being a farm wife. I’ve spoken
to your father…”
“You have?”
“Yes. And he said the decision is
yours.”
“What decision?”
Sam put down the cider and took off
his hat. He twisted it as his mind searched for the right words. “About
becoming a farm wife.”
“Oh? Who’s asking?”
Sam grinned. “Oh come on, Violet. You
know it’s me.”
She blushed. “Yes, I do. But I want
to hear you say it.”
Sam took her hand in his. “Will you,
Vi? Will you marry me and live on my farm?”
Her hand was soft and smooth. He
stared at it, wondering if it was strong enough to do the work of a farm wife.
“Well?” he asked, joining his gaze
with hers.
That's all for this week. Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment -it makes my day!
