Mel stays quiet throughout Evangeline's whole tale, her hands only moving to clasp her hands. They're still smooth, Evangeline's skin resisting calluses for the time her and Wes spent in the forest. Even though the days passed and they walked and walked, it was worth it all at the end of the day. Nothing is more satisfying than having Wes hold her at night, his head resting on hers. Melinda would have been shocked once more if Wes didn't go and save his bride from Tim. She is certain that their love will be bumpy but as soon as they spend enough time with one another again, all will be well. Wes will always be welcome in this home, she tells Evangeline with a confident nod. Then she asks where he is.
"I don't care if Wesinaco is a wanted man, Evangeline. This house is as much as his as it is my husbands. It should be a place of solitude and protection, not one of submission and persecution. My dear, he will always be welcome here." thinking briefly on the dowery, Melinda smiles, "You deserve your money back, my sweet. Even though your parents may have been tricked by Timothy, I'm sure his will, well hopefully, will be giving all his money to his two brothers and they, in return, won't take a cent. Hear me?" She becomes stern for a moment, "We will give all the money to you for you and Wes deserve it. A love like yours has transpired through so very much. It's really the least we can do. I'm so sorry, my dear, that you have gone through so much... you're so strong and I envy you for such qualities. You bring a whole new sense to what it means to be a woman."
Kissing her forehead, Melinda stands and looks to the window again. "Where is Wes?" She asks once again, missing the Cheyenne man who has become her best friend and brother. "Is he... alright?" And like any love, she is worried for his health and safety. Has prison turned him cold? Has prison, no doubt being starved and beaten by the guards, changed him forever? She has no idea about his lame hand but she fears the worst. "I miss him daily, Evangeline. Please, if you must run and hide, stay here and hide here. I beg of you not to be lost to the forest once more. This family will keep this secret until the day we all die. The servants can be sent home for we really kept them around to please Tim but Bethany and I can take care of this house, no problem. Will... will you get Wes and bring him home?"
