It is now nearing Valentine's Day
"So Andrew what are we doing for Valentine's Day?" Colleen asked holding on to his hands tightly and smiling.
"Well, I have a surprise for you," Andrew said.
"Really, what is it?" Colleen asked.
Andrew dug in to his pocket and pulled out two tickets. "These are two train tickets to Denver. I thought we could go to Denver first thing on Valentine's Day and when we arrive, we can go shopping for furniture for our homestead and then at the evening I have booked us a table at Denver's best restaurant. We will stay over night at a hotel, I have booked us both a room and then we will return the next day. How does that sound?" Andrew asked his love.
"Oh Andrew that sounds perfect," Colleen said very excitedly.
"I'm glad you think so," Andrew said looking at his wife to be.

Brian pulled up outside Sarah's home in the wagon and knocked on the door.
Sarah opened the door, "Hi Brian;" Sarah said pleased to see him.
"Hi," Brian said as he gave her a small peck on the cheek.
"Come on in, my ma's in town," Sarah said.
Brian stepped in and walked toward a chair, before sitting he swirled Sarah around and as he sat down he placed her on his lap. Sarah was laughing at what he did.
"I came to talk to ya," Brian said.
"Oh yeah, about what?" Sarah asked.
"Well I came to ask you what you would like to do for Valentine's Day," Brian said smiling.
"Oh I don't know, as long as I'm with you," Sarah said and then gave him a kiss.
Brian thought for a moment and then came up with an idea.
"I have an idea," Brian said then continued, "how about spending a day in Denver, we could spend the afternoon looking around the shops and then we could have a romantic supper at one of those posh restaurants. We can catch the last train back at night."
"That's a great idea, I have never been to Denver," Sarah said.
"Then it's settled, I'll book the tickets tomorrow and send a telegram to book a table at the restaurant," Brian said.
"You make me so happy, Sarah said. She then placed a kiss on Brian's lips, which showed no sign of ending.
Mary was approaching her homestead in the wagon and she saw Brian's wagon was there. When she pulled to a stop she climbed down and got her basket of shopping from the back. She opened the door and found Sarah sat on Brian's lap kissing passionately.
Sarah and Brian heard Mary walk in and jumped up from the chair.
"Oh..umm.hello ma, we were just." Sarah couldn't finished.
"I saw what you were just doing Sarah, it' ok, it's to be expected when two people are as in love as you two," Mary said with a smile. "Just make sure that's all you do," she finished.
Brian and Sarah's faces turned pink.
"We were just talking about our plans for Valentine's Day," Brian said changing the subject.
"Oh really, what do you two have planned?" Mary asked.
"Well we were thinking about spending the day in Denver," Sarah said.
"Yes, we would go on the train first thing, spend the afternoon doing whatever the lady wants" Brian said as he took hold of Sarah's hand before continuing, "and then enjoy a romantic super at a restaurant. We would then be able to catch the last train home."
"Oh that sounds nice," Mary said.
"Well, I best be getting off, I have to pick up Katie and Byron from Matthew and Rebecca's," Brian said.
"Goodbye Brian," Mary said.
"Goodbye Mrs Sheehan," Brian said.
Sarah walked Brian to his wagon and gave him small kiss on the lips.
"See ya later," Brian said.
"Bye," Sarah replied waving as he began to ride away.
Sarah walked back inside to see her mother stood smiling at her. "What?" Sarah asked a little confused as to why her mother was smiling.
"Oh you two are just simply perfect for each other, how long have you been courtin' now?" Mary asked.
"Just over 5 month's now," Sarah answered her mother.
"Do you think you might get married some time?" Mary asked.
"I don't know, maybe sometime in the future," Sarah said with a slight smile on her face.
"He's a good man and he would never hurt you," Mary assured her daughter, "and whenever the time comes that you two wish to get married, I just want you to know you have my blessing, and I know your Pa would be happy for you too."
"Thanks ma," Sarah said as she gave her ma a hug.

Brian walked in the door with Katie and Byron behind him.
"You're just in time for supper kids," Sully said.
"Go on upstairs and get washed up, it will be ready in 5 minutes," Michaela said.
Katie, Byron and Brian did as they were told and went upstairs. When they came back down everyone was sat around the table waiting. Brian and the children took their seats and everyone began to eat.
"So, Colleen what are you and Andrew doing for Valentines Day?" Michaela asked.
"We're going to Denver," Colleen said.
"Really? So are Sarah and I," Brian said.
"Isn't this something," Andrew said. "Colleen and I are going to shop for furniture for the homestead during the day and then in the evening we are going for supper at the biggest restaurant in Denver, it's called.um."
"The Tavern," Brian chimed in.
"Yes that's it, how did you know?" Andrew asked.
"Because that's where I'm taking Sarah for Valentine's Day," Brian said.
"You are?" Michaela asked a little shocked.
"Yeah, is that a problem?" Brian asked.
"No, no," Michaela assured.
"When will you be getting back?" Sully asked.
Brian replied, "we are gonna catch the last train out of Denver."
"You can't do that, why don't you stay over night with us. Sarah can stay in one room with Colleen and you can stay in the other with me," Andrew offered.
"You don't mind do you Colleen?" Brian asked not wanting to interrupt his sister's special day.
"Not at all," Colleen said with a smile.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::
Brian rode up to Sarah's house and jumped off his horse. He walked up to the door and knocked on it.
Mrs Sheehan came to the door, "Hello there Brian," she greeted.
"Good mornin', is Sarah here?" Brian asked.
"Sure come on in," Mary said.
Brian walked in and he saw Sarah sat at the kitchen table; he walked toward her and sat down.
"Hey Brian," Sarah said.
"Hey, I need to talk to you. How would you feel about staying over night in Denver?" Brian asked.
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked a little confused as to what he was asking of her.
Mrs Sheehan heard what he said and came to her daughter's side.
"It's not how it sounds. When I got home yesterday I found out that Colleen and Andrew are going to Denver for Valentine's Day too. Andrew booked two rooms in a hotel, one for him and one Colleen, they said we could stay with them and come back on the train in the morning with them. I'd be in a room with Andrew and you'd be with Colleen," Brian finished.
"Well I think that's a good idea, it will be safer than travelling back at night on the train," Mary said.
"So it's ok?" Brian asked.
"Yes, I think it's a great idea," Sarah said.
Brian smiled at both women and said, "well I best be getting' to work, bye."
"Goodbye Brian," Sarah said.
"Yes, goodbye," Mary added.
