her hand, pulling her so hard that she tumbled into his lap. “That’s better,” he said in a low voice before covering her mouth with his. The embrace lasted several moments before she primly pushed him away and rose, scooting out of his reach.
“That’ll be enough of that, Mr. Jefferson. If you want more, you’ll have to marry me,” she said slyly.
His face registered mild surprise, but then he grinned. “Done. Well, it will be done as soon as I can stand. Is the day after tomorrow soon enough?”
Her mouth opened in astonishment as his words registered. “Uh, well…that is…I need a dress, but…” She wasn’t sure if he was joking or not, but decided to act as though it was an honest proposal. “Since you proposed so nicely, I’ll say yes.”
He leaned his head back and let out a roar of laughter.
“What’s so funny?” she demanded, taking a step forward with her hands on her hips.
It was just the opportunity he needed. He lightly grasped her arm and pulled her back toward him, easing her down onto the bed so that she was sitting beside him. “You are, my dear. I didn’t propose to you. You proposed to me.” Even as her mouth opened to protest, he held his finger against her lips. “And I accepted. Now, enough talk about that. In fact, enough talk about everything. There are more important things to be done.”
“Like what?” she asked eyes wide with feigned innocence.
Instead of replying, he merely leaned forward and brushed the lightest kiss across her lips. “Like that…for a start. Everything else will fall into place.”
And for the first time in a very long time, she believed that it would.

CHAPTER 1
Pearl adjusted her wide hat and tried her best to ignore the handsome young man who kept throwing suggestive glances her way. She adjusted her deep brown ringlets and shot a scornful look in his direction. Any other time, she'd have flashed him a wink and reveled in the attention, perhaps even adjusting her corseted dress a little so his eyes would be irresistibly drawn and stuck to her, but with a whole heap of letters from her beloved Charles in her lap, she was determined to do as her mother had told her and retain fidelity in every look, feeling and thought.
And now she was to finally meet him. Charles. Not only that, she was going to surprise him. She pictured the joy and disbelief that would light up his face as he laid eyes on her, embraced her and spun her around.
As the train sped west, every thought was consumed with him. The man whose black ink cursive, beginning in neat, careful forms and sprawling out with passion as the declarations of his insatiable love for her intensified, had allowed her to step out of her run of the mill life and right into the clouds.
She had always nursed the dream of hopping on a passing train, hiding away all the way to the city and slipping out just before she was
