Adelaide, clearly unaware that anyone was searching for her, kept her head lowered as she followed the others into the fort. Hewn logs were banded together to form an entryway. How the settlers believed it would offer them protection was a mystery, but ah well. History couldn’t be changed.
As a young girl, her parents had taken Adelaide and her siblings to a fort - a historical reconstruction as part of their homeschooling studies. This fort brought back these long-forgotten memories, yet these were not employees in period costumes. History had come alive and yet Adelaide wanted nothing more than to return to the present and the husband she had left behind.
