Summary
Carmy ran warm. She saw him strip himself of his woolen jacket and brave Midwestern cold with bare arms and miraculously be without any goosebumps more times than she could count. He surely didn’t need the fuzzy packets of warmth, but he had them. Undoubtedly, he had them for her. Sydney would complain about her constant cold fingers and dry knuckles often, she shouldn’t have been surprised Carmy wasn’t just listening but cataloging the facts about her into some place in his brain. And yet—
It made her ache, to be thought of like that.
Or, when Carmy and Sydney finally start dating, everyone knows. Everyone, that is, except for Sydney.

Summary
"He wanted to call his soul his own, not beholden to anyone but his Maker. The way he saw things, a farmer was the only man who could have that. This prairie was his home, now. He was making it so, one furrow at a time."
This train roughly follows Almanzo through Little Town on the Prairie onward, with a backward stop or two in The Long Winter, ending on the newlywed's front steps in The First Four Years. It was inspired by the LH books, Pioneer Girl (the recently released really-truly-actually biographical Laura Ingalls Wilder publication) and my own pure brain, which first fell head over heels for Almanzo when I was wee. Also inspired by, and named for, Aaron Copland's song The Promise of Living, from "The Tender Land" - here is a lovely performance on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDAbNaF6EYQ
As Laura said about her Little House books, "It may not have happend, but it was all true."

Summary
[Casey/Brett] [post 809]
Fed up with their stagnant love lives, Matt Casey & Sylvie Brett make a deal."I'm curious, if you're done with blind dating then how are you going to find all these dates you keep talking about?" He asks, sensing they need a shift in topic.
"That's an excellent question. The idea of bar hopping makes me want to throw myself out of this moving truck. Speed dating would be a waste of my time. Clearly, I can't trust Foster's taste after tonight. I guess...well, I guess there's always online dating," she says as she ticks off all of her options.
"Online dating?" If he sounds skeptical, it's because he is skeptical.
"Yeah, but one of those legitimate websites with huge personality assessments. Absolutely no swiping. Swiping is gross." She freezes and then gasps suddenly, grabbing his shoulder as she angles herself to face him. "You should sign up too! Oh, we could do this online dating thing together! You know, check in with each other? This would be nowhere near as nerve racking with a buddy! Plus, we can hold each other accountable. Like those meetings diet groups have?"
"You can't be serious," he says as he turns down her street.
