The Brandon Chronicles: Fidelity
Jul. 9th, 2016 08:00 am“Those whom God has joined together let no one put asunder.”
Upon harkening to those words spoken clear and loud by his now brother, Brandon looked at the delicate hand held in his and lifted his eyes to meet Marianne’s.
In her eyes he could see forever – their happiness, their children, their dotage, their legacy. His smile belied his great joy; his soul yearned to burst forth and pronounce to all his adoration for Marianne.

Marianne took the hand of her husband as he helped her climb into the barouche. She studied his deportment as he shook the hand of Major Lyle Chisholm, his best man.
She pondered on why she had never noticed his rugged and handsome visage before. Was it the bright winter sun? Possibly. This was the only time whence she had seen him don his dress uniform. He made a comely officer. His red waistcoat promoted his fit torso; epaulets broadened his shoulders and a high collar enhanced a face that entranced her, excited her.

As coins flew from Christopher’s hand into the air, laughter and mirth joined their gleam.
