Greta was about to speak, but he put his finger on her lips.
“Our marriage wasn’t one of choice on either of our parts, so now, I want to ask: will you marry me?”
Greta nodded with tears of joy rolling down her cheeks. “Yes! Yes, I will!”
Epilogue
Adam and Greta married at their local church, and Rhea and Sam threw them a grand party afterward.
On a cold, spring morning, Greta gave birth to a healthy, baby boy, whom they named Robert Samuel, after both of their fathers.
Adam continued to work on the ferry until it closed, but by then they had grown colts that were being saddle trained. A few years later, they had a successful horse breeding business. They worked hard at it, but they always took a month off each year to sail on Eve with the children, who loved it.
By the time Robert Samuel was two, Madeline Rhea had been born; Madeline had been Greta’s mother’s name.
Even as a toddler, little Robert loved to help out in the stables. Madeline suffered from a touch of asthma, but a new medication was available to help her.
By the time Adam and Greta had celebrated their fifteenth anniversary, they had five children of their own, but Bethany blended in beautifully. Adam sometimes treated her special because he didn’t want her to feel different because he wasn’t her real father. Bethany was like a mother hen with her little siblings.
Adam still carried his gun and gave nasty looks to young lads in Fort Worth who dared look at their lovely, Bethany.
He loved Greta as much then as he had fifteen years ago, but he made sure to tell her that often.
