He was in big trouble, Thomas thought. He had no idea how to act around his new wife. He should have told her more about his family. Thomas jumped from the wagon and unhitched the horse.
Andrew stepped from the barn. “I see you brought a woman home to meet Ma.”
“Not just any woman, my wife.” Thomas looked to his older brother.
“Wife?”
“Yep, we got married this morning.” Thomas leaned against the wagon and crossed his arms.
Andrew whistled softly. “Congratulations. I can’t believe you got married.” He shook his head and then looked sharply at Thomas. “Does Ma know?”
Thomas groaned. “No.” He’d sent his new bride inside and hadn’t mentioned they were married. Would he be facing two angry women when he went back to the house?
The front door slammed as Benjamin, Thomas’s youngest brother, ran out onto the porch. He yelled, “Thomas! Ma wants you in the house.” He leaped from the porch and continued running toward them.
Andrew slapped Thomas on the back. “Don’t look so stricken. I doubt your new wife has had time to spill the beans just yet.”
Benjamin stopped a few feet from them. “Miss Josephine says she’s your new wife. Did you know that?”
A laugh spilled from Andrew’s lips. “Of course, I could be wrong.” His older brother moved to the head of the horse and said, “Beni and I will take care of the horse for you.”
Thomas pushed away from the wagon with a groan. “Thanks. This day just gets better and better,” he grumbled.
