stroked his hair. “Yes, I’d love to marry you.”
“My love, you’ve just made me the happiest man on earth and given me a beautiful Christmas present.” He bent his head to take her lips.
Her body tingled as she melted into his embrace. Outside the sound of bells chiming registered on her overloaded senses. She lifted her head. “Is it Christmas?”
He glanced around, tilting his head. “I do believe it is. Merry Christmas.”
“Merry Christmas.”
Mary, Ted and Mrs. Ellison crowded into the door.
Kirk rose and waved his arm. “I have excellent news. Sara has accepted my proposal of marriage.”
“Oh, dear brother.” Mary raced forward and wrapped her arms around her brother, then turned to Sara to kiss her cheek. “Welcome to the family.”
Ted shook Kirk’s hand and kissed Sara’s. “I’m delighted my brother-in-law’s chosen you.”
Mrs. Ellison slowly approached her son and kissed his cheek. “I’m proud that you’ve followed your heart. I’ve had many wonderful years with your father because we loved each other right from the start.”
Turning to Sara, she whispered, “I’m honored you’ve chosen my son as well. Welcome to the family.”
Sara was near tears when Kirk escorted her to the carriage.
“What’s wrong?” he whispered. “Are you hurt?”
“No, I’m just so happy. It’s Christmas and all of my dreams have come true.”
He handed her up into the carriage and took his seat beside her. She leaned into his shoulder, ready for the new adventure that awaited her as Doc Ellison’s wife.
A word about the author...
Susan Macatee sets her stories of romance during and just after the American Civil War. Her passion for this period in American history also extends to the paranormal. You’ll find time travelers, ghosts, and vampires in the mix.
Her interest in the period stems from her years spent as a civilian Civil War reenactor, alongside her husband, who did the military side, with the 28th Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment for about ten years.
She lives with her husband and sons, and the family dog, a boxer-mix named Chase. She spends her free time cheering on her local baseball team, the Philadelphia Phillies, spending time with Chase and her husband, watching favorite old movies, and inhaling books.
