Chapter 1

September 13, 1899

"Elizabeth! Come on. Edward Masen is waiting for you."

"Coming mother in a moment!" I called. I'm Elizabeth Jackson. My father is a lawyer and Edward Masen is working with my father and is about my age: 18. He has been courting me since last spring 1898. His family is first class just as my family is.

"My lady? Do you want help getting ready?" I turned to my maid named Mary.

"Yes, please. Can you help tie the back?" I asked. She walked over and tied the back of my dress.

"You look so pretty in that dress."

"Do you think he'll love it?"

"Oh yes, my lady Elizabeth! I heard him talking to your father the other day, asking for your hand in marriage. But you must not have known of that," she said hugging me.

I nodded; so she knew I would act as if I wouldn't know.

"Elizabeth!" my mother called again.

"Good luck my lady," Mary said as she hugged me again before I headed out my room and down the stairs. I stopped at the top stairs when I saw Edward. He smiled and went to the stairs and waited for me to step down to take my hand.

"You're so pretty Elizabeth."

"Thank you, Edward," I said as he kissed my hand.

"I'll have her back before dinner," Edward told my parents. They just nodded.

"Have fun Elizabeth," my mother said as we headed out the door. Edward walked me to his carriage and helped me in. He hopped in and nodded to the driver.

"How was your day?" he asked me.

"It was okay. But it's better now that I'm with you," I said leaning against him. He kissed my forehead and smiled.

"We are here," he said. I lifted my head and looked around. We were at a very big house in front of us.

"What's this Edward?" I asked. He just smiled I looked down at him when he got in front of me and was down on one knee.

"Miss, Elizabeth Jackson, I will promise to love you and care for and protect you forever. Will you marry me and become my wife?" he asked as the box in his hand opened to a very pretty ring.

I gasped when I saw the ring; I looked to Edward's face, then to the ring. I couldn't speak and ended up crying. I was sure Edward was scared I'd say no to him. I knew I wanted to marry him and be his forever, but why couldn't I say it?

"Ed-Edwa-Edward…Yes! Yes, I love to be your wife!" I said. He wiped tears from my eyes and slipped the ring onto my left finger. He lifted me up, hugging me and spinning me around.

"I love you Elizabeth! Welcome to our new home!" he said as he stopped spinning me and set me down on my feet.

"Our home?" I asked looking to him and then to the house. "Our very own? Oh Edward it's so pretty!" I said hugging him.

"Yes, love, our very own. You can have it set any way you like. Would you like to come and see the house?" he asked.

"Yes please," I said as he took my arm and led me to our new home. He unlocked the door and opened it, letting me in first. I took everything in and smiled.

Once he showed me around the first floor he then led me to the second floor, where the bed rooms were. "This is our room love," he said. I loved how he called me love.

I had already taken everything in on how it should look and where our things should go. He then led me to other rooms. I saw the rooms and looked to Edward. "Perfect to raise our children," I said. He smiled kissing my forehead.

"If that's what you want love," he whispered to me and I just nodded. "There is a house in the back for the workers to live," he said I smiled.

"Can Mary come with us?" I asked; I'd hate to leave without Mary; she'd been my maid for as long as I could remember.

"Of course she can love. We will have a few other maids, but of course Mary can come if she so wishes. There is also a stable for our horses, love," he said.

I smiled, kissing him. "We should be heading back, it's getting late," he said.

"Do we have to?" I asked.

"Yes, love. Now we make our announcement of the engagement tomorrow evening at your birthday party."

"Alright-y." I said as I hugged him. He helped me into the carriage again and nodded for the driver to start driving back.

He helped me out the carriage and led me to my door. We opened the door my mother turned and smiled at me, as if she knew. My father stood beside her and nodded, shaking Edward's hand.

My mother looked to my left hand and smiled. "My sweet Elizabeth!" she said hugging me.

"Oh mother," I said hugging her back. I saw tears in her eyes. I looked and saw Mary smiling at me. I looked to Edward then to my father. I hugged him too.

"I'll see you tomorrow evening, Elizabeth," Edward said, kissing my hand. I just nodded and watched him leave.

After dinner I went up to bed and Mary followed me up the stairs to help me undress. "So what happened?" she asked me.

"Well, he showed me our new house. Oh Mary, you get to come with us if you like," I said I turned to her saw her smile.

"I'd love to go with you Elizabeth. Do you really want me to come with you?" she asked.

"Of course Mary!" I said, hugging her. She smiled and nodded.

"Very well then, I'll come with you my lady," she said.

"Thank you Mary," I said.

"Well, I'll let you go sleep now," she said as she headed out the door and shut it as she left. I lay in the bed and slowly started to fall asleep, dreaming of Edward and me.
