    When Two Hearts Meet - Clean Historical Western Romance - Johanna Jenkins

    When Two Hearts Meet

    Chapter 1

    A Long Way from Home

    It was the second time that Brian had had to relocate to a different fort since the war started. This time, it wasn’t because they wanted to get more men closer to the front lines, but because Brian and his companions were ordered to man a fort in the back, close to a settlement in the west. Many privates, Brian being one of them, thought these orders to be an act of cowardice from their commanding officers, but since it was an order from the upper echelons of the army, there was nothing plain soldiers like them could do.

    Even so, no matter how long their way was until they arrived at the designated fort, or how many days they had to stay outside and sleep on the damp grass, Brian was somehow relieved that he didn’t constantly have to be afraid for his life. However, many of his companions did not understand this tactical decision. And so, the quarrels started.

    Every day, especially before dinner, when the soldiers were at their hungriest, men would start fighting, yelling at each other about things that were of no importance. The corporal would stop these fights and punish anyone who took part in one, but that didn’t seem to settle things.

    Brian couldn’t stop thinking about their journey so far, about how far away from home he was. Every morning he would raise his head up and stare at the horizon, watching the sun climb up to the sky.

    The dawn of another long day on the road arrived. I’d better get ready; better now than when the corporal makes his rounds. After standing up, he stretched his hands above his head and stared to the east. He located two small farms close to each other. We must be getting closer. Counting those two, it must have been at least ten farms since yesterday.

    He shrugged and turned his back to the bright sunlight. Still dizzy from the rough sleep on the ground, he faltered all the way to his things. Corporal Jones saw him limping and moved closer to him. On your feet, soldier. Is there something wrong with your leg?

    The first thing that Brian did was salute the commanding officer. No, sir! Everything is fine, sir! He shouted every word on the top of his lungs.

    You don’t have to shout, Private Campbell. Everyone here is exhausted and we have half a day’s walk ahead of us before arriving at the fort. I wouldn’t like seeing you get injured, that’s all.

    As soon as he completed his sentence, the corporal moved away and proceeded into waking up every soldier who wasn’t already up and ready. He’s right. I wouldn’t like someone barking at me so early in the morning too. But he probably would have punished me if I didn’t do it right.

    With another shrug, he started gathering his things. Since soldiers never carried many things with them, except their uniform, some underwear, a gun, and some supplies they needed to survive on the road,
