Things had been a flurry of excitement over the past two months. After Annalise and Matthias had traveled safely to their new home in Ohio, Matthias, with the assistance of so many others in the Underground Railroad network, had helped Tandey and Jinny complete their journey to freedom. And Annalise could finally put her heart at rest knowing that her dear friends were safe.
Matthias squeezed her hand, and Annalise gazed up at the man she had married just one short week ago.
How I love him!
For now, Annalise and Matthias would reside in a humble cabin about a mile from Matthias’s parents, who also had a position in the Faith Train. Betsy and Adam resided not far from them.
Annalise and Matthias had joined not only in matrimony, but also in a role the Lord had placed them in, aiding slaves in reaching freedom.
Only He knew what was planned for them at the next juncture.
When Matthias leaned in to plant a passionate kiss on Annalise’s waiting lips, she knew one thing to be true.
She had found freedom.
