Caitlin’s mouth dropped open in surprise. “No, it’s a family heirloom. It was her last quilt.”
“Exactly,” Marc agreed. “The pattern is a double wedding ring. The girls said it was a sign or symbolic or some such rot, on account of you two getting married twice. They said, they thought their Gran was making it for you. So they finished it and sent it along. They said the pattern she selected and the fact that she gave Chase her rings to pass onto you meant it was for you. Mom told Cathy that of all the females in our family, you were more like Sassy Sal than anyone. Mom said that you were as perfect for Chase, as Sassy Sal had been for Jacob. Cathy said to tell you to take it, or she’d send Range up here to shut you up.”
Caitlin laughed at that threat. Since she and Range has settled their differences, he and Wyatt were her personal cheerleading team. “Thank you, I’ll cherish it.”
Marc gave her a kiss on the cheek, and turned to his son. “I’ve got something for you too. Larson leveled what little that was left on your place. He said to give this to you. He found it in the rubble and thought you might have some use for it?”
“What did he find?” Caitlin asked moving forward to see as her father-in-law pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to his son with a wide grin.
Chase looked over at the biggest love and exasperation of his life and laughed as he snagged her and pulled her into a kiss and rubbed her baby belly. He held up an antique wooden hairbrush and watched as her face flushed with color and embarrassment.
“Thanks, Dad. I’ve missed this. It’s been put to good use for five generations now. I’ll probably be putting it to good use too as the last sonogram showed that I’ll have two more little troublemakers coming, in addition to their Momma.”
THE END
Mariella Starr
Sometimes it’s hard to pick what I love most beyond my family; I write, paint, renovate and am a voracious reader. The joke in our house about vices is that mine is books. My idea of the perfect house is the public library, just add a kitchen to make my husband happy, and I would be good with it. I live in Nevada with my husband, two dogs that I adore, and a lot of scorpions and lizards that still make me scream and act girly. I love to travel, and I get to travel to visit my grown children who have both chosen to live abroad, one in Ireland and one in England—what could be better?
I love writing, creating the characters and making them come alive. For a short time, while they are directing me through their stories, they are alive for me and I hope they are to my readers. My favorite genres for reading are history, romances, and mystery. Sometimes I think I spend as much time in research as I do in writing, but it is important to me that the time-periods be correct. It also makes me one heck of a good trivial pursuit player.
I’m a casual person, enjoying a laid back lifestyle where dressing up means putting on real shoes and not flip-flops, cowboy boots or running shoes. (The running shoes are not my idea of fun but my husband says if I’m spending all my time on a computer writing, I also have to move—10 miles a day!) Oh, what I put up with because I love that man. I also love receiving e-mail from my readers and can be contacted at [email protected]
