Nothing hits harder than an American pioneer days historical romance + marriage of convenience where he takes her to the mercantile and is like, “Girl, get you a new dress and a coat for winter.” And she’s like, “I could never.” and even though he didn’t even want to get married in the first place he’s like, “I will take care of my wife.”
And then he secretly buys her something pretty he sees her eyeing and he’ll give it to her later in the book as a symbol of his growing affection
