Sam thought for a bit before he answered, "thats a kind offer doc, but we won't leave this house unless Cerise wants to. An i would need to know that were anythin to happen to me, or even to you that she would not be without a roof over her head." it seemed a simple thing to sam, the ranch he had worked at had living quarters for some of the hands, but they were all unmarried. those the rancher had no choice but to pay a fair wage, unlike him, all had separate homes for their families. To him it would just be a strange feeling to have someone else in full control of your living arrangements without some kind of agreement in place. and selling the home they had just settled into was a big step he would not take without Cerise's input.
