Caroline's POV



It is a cold, icy dawn. We are nested together in a row--Charles, me, you, and Nels, under bear skin robes. The wagon slips along, putting distance between us and the town; bringing us closer to the city, and the "specialist" our husbands insist upon.

Your whole side is pressed against me. Your face is very sad, and mine must be too. I want to comfort you. I slide my hand under the robe, hoping you will do the same; but, you decide against it.

Defiant, I uncover my hand, and under the eyes of all, reach for yours. Startled at first, you accept me; and we ride, palm to palm toward our fate.
