Charity leant forward and hugged him.
“Oh I think you’ve got that wrong that they will be saying, it will be more like, how did that Charity Carver get that handsome Seth Bernstein to marry her. She must have used some magic powers.” They both laughed.
Jonesy entered the room with two bowls of soup. “So,” said Seth, “I’m happy to tell you that…”
“I know,” said Jonesy, and set the bowls out for them.
Well now, have you been standing at the door listening?” said Seth.
Jonesy looked at him with half a smile.
“No,” he says. “I just knew, all the time.”

Family
Six months had passed, and the day had finally come for the wedding of the year. Seth Abram Bernstein and Charity Angel Carver were going to be married at the church on Saturday afternoon by Reverend Claypool. Rose and Sam Jacobs are to be the matron of honor and best man. The bride will be given in marriage by Doctor Winters.
The day had finally come. Charity’s dream since she was fourteen years old was all coming true this afternoon. After dreaming of this man she was going to be his wife, to bear his children and mistress of the Bar S. If only her dad was alive, he would be so proud of her.
Five years had passed, and Charity was still the prettiest girl Seth had ever seen and still his only love. The four bedrooms are now filled with precious little Bernsteins Grace, Faith, Ruby, and Hope.
At night Seth and Charity sit on the porch and watch the sun set as they hear Jonesy and the kids inside. Seth takes her hand and holds it tightly never wanted to let it go. This young woman had captured his heart and his soul, and together they would be all their days. For their love is what dreams are made of, and those are the dreams that never die.
