Chapter 4
Kate reaches up to wipe the single tear rolling down Brett’s cheek. Then she thinks of a solution. “My dad’s life insurance policy! When he died he left me two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Brett, with that money I can save our farm!” Brett stares at her incredulously. “I can’t let you…our farm? Are you serious? You want to stay with me?”
Kate blushes but continues to insist she is serious. She’s never been as happy or at peace as she is here, with him. She will not let him lose everything he holds dear, when she can do something to help. She will not allow him to refuse. After all he saved her life and she adorns him. Seeing his beautiful green eyes light up with hope Kate breaks into a wide smile. She knows she is doing the right thing. Brett, tears streaming down his face, sweeps her up in a passionate kiss. “There’s only one thing, you can’t make such as investment and leave. And you can’t live here without being my wife. Will you marry me?”
Six months later, Kate stands on the porch of the simple farmhouse in a plain white lace dress. Giant rambling roses flank the arbor where Brett anxiously waits for her, in front of family and friends. Beyond the smiling pastor, Molly stands in the lane looking fine for the occasion, ready to pull the carriage that will take the newly married happy couple to their honeymoon. Although it’s her uncle standing next to her Kate feels her father smiling down. As she looks around, she realizes, heaven really is a simple country farm. And angels can wear cowboy hats.
