Truth be told, standing before Reverend Stone was quite intimidating and scary. Still, she remained calm in appearance and continued to hold Ebeneezer's hand tightly as if seeking silent support as she was spoken to and questioned by his father. When asked the important question if she could possibly try to love his son. Her blue eyes moved from the old man to Ebeneezer, looking at him for a moment, before she looked back at the old man.

She spoke softly, nodding her head, "Yes sir. I will try to love him." How could she not at least try. After all, if she wad going to be married to him, she couldn't constantly avoid him or hate him. She would attempt to be a loyal and loving wife, it was the least she could do.

She really hoped this all turn out okay. That this marriage, even though having been arranged on not the best terms, would be one neither would come to regret. Maybe they would even come to love each other one day. Only time and God would be able to tell.

She held onto her future husband's hands hand firmly, her eyes on the old man, waiting for his final agreement and blessing so the three of them could make their way to the courthouse.
