“That was for behaving like a brat,” he said roughly. “Come.” He grabbed her hand and led her out the back door, down the steps and to the side of the house.
“You wanted to speak to me,” she cried. “So speak.”
“I will speak,” he said in a cold voice. “You seem not to understand the concept of wifely obedience, Mariah. I want to know how you thought it was acceptable to leave this house today and ride horseback into town.”

“It wasn’t like that!” she protested.
Walking Home
By Bella Maeve
“Well, I certainly hope we aren’t doing anything too outdoorsy tonight. I can barely walk in these heels on level ground.”
