A Reward

Getting ready for their trip, Bella had a wide smile on her face as she stared up at Amon attempting to get on his horse. Having worn her riding outfit, she was more than happy to take her husband's hand as he helped her up and allowed her to sit in front of him.

"There," Amon smiled as he wrapped his arms around her to hold onto the horse's reins. "Now, you just have to hang on and hope for good weather."

"Amon, I don't care if it rains or snows," she chuckled at him as she leaned on his strong chest. "So long as I'm with you, there's nothing that would stop me from being by your side."

While she kind of felt bad not riding in the carriage specifically brought along for her, Bella wouldn't trade where she was now even for the comfort of being able to sit properly and stretch her legs. No, she was on this journey to be with Amon, and sitting alone in the carriage would defeat that purpose.
