| Kate blinked and glanced around the dingy room. "I don teven know you. I don t know where you live.""Spread out by Copper Creek called Rock Ridge. Houseand livestock. I mean to take care of you. What more doyou need to know?" Noah asked.What more, indeed? Kate s mind whirled with concern forher desperate circumstances, fear of the future and theshock of her missing husband s death. The thought of herdetested job in the laundry combined with her mother ssuffocating criticism convinced her. Kate had to get away.And she might never have another chance.Kate turned, grabbed a gunnysack and stuffed her meagerbelongings into it. She didn t pause to see ff she d forgottenanything, neither did she stop to think or reconsider.Maybe she was crazy for leaving with a man she d nevermet before. Maybe listening to his promises was rash.But then gain, this could be the best thing that had everhappened. |
