In late March, Josephine woke with a pain in her stomach. She shot out of bed.
"Henry," She hissed, making her to the bassinet he had built in the corner. "Henry!" She said again, louder this time as the pain took over.
"Yes, dear?" He said, sleepily.
"It's happening. Th--the baby is coming." At this, Henry jumped.
"The baby is coming!" He cheered. And then, "Oh god, the baby is coming!"
Welcome to Chestnut Ridge, Peter Henry Manesfield!

With Henry at the office all day, and the house chores easily dealt with, Josephine decided it was time to explore her new little town. She cooked up her best meatloaf and sauntered over to the modest house across the way where the Columbus’ lived. Delia was a homemaker, much like Josephine, but her husband’s salary was less than Henry’s (as indicated by the poor decoration of their home and the state of Delia’s clothes).
Josephine knew that her and Henry were not wealthy by any means, but they lived well and she had confidence in Henry’s ability to grow this town into one that could make them very wealthy. Still though, Delia’s sweet voice reminded Josephine of her mother and the simple way her home was ornamented made her think of her own childhood home. Despite her initial judgements, Josephine felt herself growing more comfortable as the two women spoke.

Henry’s new office was…different than what he had grown accustomed to. He had been in Chicago, New York City, even London, to help design new structures in their sprawling cities and was shocked to find that he would now be confined to a small office with barely enough room to turn around in. As he pressed the door open, another figure in the room made him jump.
“Ah, Mr. Manesfield, I presume?” Henry gathered himself and nodded. Based on the expensive suit and timepiece around his large waist, Henry concluded this was his new boss.
“In the flesh.” He smiled and stuck out his hand. The man shook it briefly.
“You come highly recommended, Mr. Manesfield.”
“I’m sure they were highly exaggerated accounts, sir. I am, at my core, a man of the arts. I find inspiration drives my greatest designs.”
“Well then. Let’s hope for your sake you find this office quite inspiring.” And, without even mentioning his name, the man hobbled out of the small office.
“I guess I’ll get started, then.” Henry muttered to himself.

“Wyoming”. The foreign word felt, well, foreign as it tumbled from Josephine Manesfield’s lips. She was born and raised in North Carolina and, up until a few weeks ago, figured she would die there too.
Her new husband, Henry, was an architect who traveled the world. He had just finished a contract with a firm in New York City when he found himself in her little town. Her parents owned a modest farm with a guest house that kept a revolving door of tenants and he was their newest guest.
Over the next few weeks, their timid glances grew into a small friendship, grew into an attraction, grew into a love. When Henry received a letter from a new architecture firm asking him to join them in building up a town in America’s newest state, he wouldn’t go alone. He asked Josephine to marry him that night.
“Wyoming.” Henry said, a confirmation. Though this would be different from anything either of them had done before, he felt hopeful for their future. Together.
