he had been Kathy Smith's lover. Hank refused to say a word.
While investigators searched for her mother's body, Josy accepted the
fact that they might never find her. Only Pandergarten could have told
them where to look, but he had died en route to the hospital that day.
"Eleanor is moving to Cheyenne to be near her brother. She offered us
the use of the big house until the new one is finished," Adam told
Josy.
"Are you going to take her up on it?" The two-bedroom furnished
apartment they were renting was cramped for the five of them, but she
still hoped Adam would choose it over Eleanor's formal house.
"How do you feel?" Adam asked.
"Her house would be closer to the ranch," she said cautiously.
"You wouldn't have to commute every day."

Adam sighed.
"C'mere and sit down."
Her heart began thumping as she joined him on the ugly tweed couch.
For months, they'd put off any personal discussion, having so many
other, more urgent matters to take care of. But that was about to
change, she realized.
"Brug and Martha are getting married."
Josy blinked at the sudden change in topic. Martha had moved in with
Brug after her release from the hospital, but Josy hadn't seen or
talked with either one of them. They'd apologized through Adam for
their part in the events, and Josy felt no animosity toward them. They
were truly remorseful, and they'd had Adam's best interests at heart.
She could understand that better than anyone.
"Brug's taking a job with a friend of mine outside Gillette."
"Who's going to run your spread?"

"I'm going to make Pete foreman. He and Tim can hire more hands."
"Oh."
"The house won't be done until this summer," he continued, "but we
should finalize our plans."
Her mouth felt dry, and she resisted an urge to rub her hands together
nervously.
"Funny. I've never known you to be a coward about anything before."
She jumped at his perception. "Nothing else ever mattered this much
before," she told him honestly.
His expression gave away nothing.
"Are you planning to stay once the house is done?"
"That was the deal," she began uncomfortably.
"I promised Suzie" -- "Forget the deal!"
If only she could.
"You know," he went on more calmly, "my sister once told a friend that

getting married was a memory a woman would cherish for the rest of her
life."
Where was he going with this?
"Since you don't remember our wedding, I thought we'd do it right this
time. A church, the girls, my family" -he reached into his pocket and
pulled out a small box "--even a ring. You interested in making a new
deal?"
Josy thought her heart might break free its confines and push its way
out of her chest and into his waiting hands.
"That depends on what sort of a deal you want to make this time." He
stood so close she inhaled the faint scent of his aftershave.
"I want a permanent contract without loopholes." A tear slipped down
her cheek.
"I love you, Josy. I told you that once before, but you never said
anything."
"The house was on fire at our backs. I thought your words were just
spoken in the heat of the moment."

"No pun intended?"
More tears leaked from her eyes.
"You never said it again."
"I was waiting for you to tell me how you felt."
"I showed you. Every night.
In every way I could. "
"But you never said the words, Josy. I needed to hear them, too."
"Fool." Her voice was thick with tears and emotion.
"I love you so much, Adam."
"Good." His smile wove itself around her soul.
"For a minute there, I was worried."
"You're crazy."
"About you, I am. Will you marry me?"

"We're already married." She looked at the wedding set he held and saw
there was a man's ring, as well. "Do you remember our wedding?"
"You know I don't."
"Then we have to do it all over again." He wiped away her tears, but
more continued to fall. "This time, I want to make sure you'll always
remember me." [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
