Love doesn't factor into the equation. Love didn't factor into his first marriage either. He married his first wife to rescue her from a life of prostitution and abuse and the arrangement never led to love. So to him marriage is a logical decision based on what can benefit both people. In this case he can offer Millie a place to live and she'll be the mother to his son. It's as simple as that.</p><p> </p><p>But marriage to Millie isn't like what he had with his first wife. Millie isn't weighed down by a harsh past. She has an innocent way of looking at the world that becomes a welcome relief after all he's been through. In the rugged Wyoming Territory she's the only pleasant thing that exists. This poses a very difficult proposition for him. Feelings get in the way of doing what's necessary. And he can't afford for anything to get in his way.</p>
