A Place of Her Own

Synopsis

The tears fell and streamed down her face. "In your father's eyes, I will always be a servant. Think about how your family has treated servants in the past. We were possessions, cattle. We were not people with our own thoughts and desires. You're a part of that. You've treated your servants like that too-even me." "You were never. . ." He let his words trail off. She was right. He had treated her like a servant. He had ordered her about the way he did all the others. Until he fell in love with her. "I can't accept that it's not possible for us to marry, Katherine. I admit there will be hardship at times, but God is the Lord of our lives. He'll help us." "Perhaps. But Hiram Greene will always stand in the way," she said with a boldness he'd never heard from her. Shelton's heart pounded. How could this be, after all this time of being patient, gently coaxing her like a skittish mare? "I love you, Katherine. Nothing should stand in opposition to that. Except God. And I believe He brought us together." "I'm sorry, Shelton. I just can't." He wanted to argue, but what would that accomplish? Instead, he gave her a passionate kiss. "If you ever change your mind, you know how to find me." With all the strength he could muster, he left. God, he prayed as he climbed up on Kehoe, move in Katherine Chinni's heart. There's nothing more I can do.
