The Bride Raffle
“By now, he knew, Daisy should have arrived. The first westbound train had already come and gone. There’d been no sign of his sister aboard it. He hadn’t had a letter or a telegraph wire contradicting their plans, either. So where was she?
Wondering exactly that, Thomas peered through his spectacles at the train track. Not even a puff of smoke drifted along the horizon, foretelling the imminent arrival of the next train.
