On Katherine's face is a smile to match it. Her heart is still pounding in her chest, but she feels oddly calm with Doc at her shoulder.
They can't stay like that forever, though, and before long the town is moving about through the square again, dancing and talking and, of course, keeping their noses in everybody else's business.
Doc is a perfect gentleman the rest of the night, willing to give his undivided attention to anyone who approaches. But he doesn't wander too far from Katherine's side.
They part ways in the square, not wanting to cause any undue attention. People are already talking; better them to see Doc leave with the Hawthorn's and Katherine head on home by herself, than see the four--chaperones with the two lovebirds--together.
But tomorrow is a new day. Katherine is excited to have Doc in her classroom.

With her.
And her children.
