#CleanWIP Half-Price Bride: Clint winked at Ma. “I didn’t just get my stubborn streak from Pa.” Ma swatted at him. He dodged.

“Yes, you came by it honest–got it from both sides.” She pointed at his shirt hanging askew. “Button your shirt up right before you leave for church.”
She smiled at him, but the smile faded as she adjusted his clothes out of compulsion more than necessity. “None of us have met anyone like you. Someone so brave, so honest . . .”

She choked on her tears. “I wish there was something I could do, but there is nothing.” #CleanWIP

From my WIP—The Haberdasher’s Wife:
His hands lifted to her face, cradling it gently. His eyes darted between each of hers. “You can be the most willful, infuriating, stubborn woman I’ve ever met, but I love you, Josefa, and I want to give you, and your unborn child, a second chance. Marry me. I cannot promise you prosperity and a life of ease, but I can promise I will love you always, if you’ll have me.”
His raw honesty scared her. His words, meant to convince her of his sincerity and love, only made her realize the wide gulf that existed between their lives, and it scared her. He offered her everything she needed, but one. Security. She couldn’t deny she felt something for him; she might even have begun to love him as well. But, it wasn’t enough.
She shook her head. “I’ve found you an apprenticeship with a silk maker. It’s in the next village. You’ll live with her family.”

“Why?”
She wouldn’t meet my eyes.
I knew. She feared for her baby. She was sending me away to protect her #child.#cleanWIP #vss365
“Grace is a learned attribute.” He put his hand on her shoulder. “You’ve learned it everywhere but when casting a fishing pole.” ~ I NOT Buddy#cleanwip #writingcommunity #amwriting

Louis wanted to ask what was so wonderful about it, but instead, he said, “Thank you, sir.” #Cleanwip
