How was I supposed to concentrate on that? Her mouth was frowning. Her green eyes shot daggers. Despite her fury being shot in my direction, I couldn’t help noticing her beauty.
“Are you going to say something?” She demanded fiercely.
“Nice to meet you ma’am.” I tipped my hat.
“Nice to meet me? That’s a fine thing to say to your wife.” She retorted impatiently.
“Wife?” I barely kept my mouth closed.
“Yes, for two days.” Her eyes narrowed.
She shoved a marriage certificate into my face. I grabbed it and scanned the document. The handwriting looked almost identical to my own. There was only one person on Earth that could be mistaken for me.
This was by far the worst trick Josh ever played on me. He had never been what you would call a good brother. From the start, he had always pretended to be me in awkward situations.
“Why did you run off?” She repeated.
“I didn’t.” I stammered.
She tapped her foot impatiently and looked like she was about to attack an unarmed bear.
“Is that what you call leaving me at the boardinghouse? What did you say you needed at the mercantile again?” She glared at me.
I shrugged automatically.
“And when I went to look for you...all I found was a note and a train ticket.” She glared.
“What did the note say?” I leaned forward.
“You wrote it!” She exploded.
