Chapter 7

Abigail waved to the others as they rode away, heading to Dallas. Melody had been so excited to be on her way. Rusty and Adam decided to follow along, mainly to make sure Melody didn’t run into any problems. Someone had spent time rearranging the buggy so all of the furniture and bags fit. It was no longer leaning to one side. She had a sneaking suspicion it had been Adam.

Nora and two of the ranch hands had decided to take a trip to Wichita Falls for one reason or another so Abigail was left to her own means today. Luke had already gone with Samuel and the others out on the range which meant he wouldn’t be home until well after supper time.

She decided to pick some apples to make a few pies. It would keep her busy most of the day. Abigail went inside Nora’s house to find a basket and then made her way to the orchard. After gathering what she needed, she began the long trek back to their cabin, glad for the long walk. It was a beautiful fall day even though the temperature didn’t change much here. Not like in Philadelphia. There, the seasons changed. By this time of year, a light shawl had to be worn when outside. Here, the weather was nice, almost perfect. Like her life right now.

She didn’t want to think of the future. For now they had called a truce. Luke hadn’t said anything more of future plans or whether he’d thought about not sending her back. Last night on the porch watching the stars with him had been so wonderful compared to earlier that night when she had tried to seduce him.

It had been nice to sit and stargaze while he told her stories of how his brothers always got the three of them in trouble over the years. Abigail had laughed long into the night until Luke warned her they’d have a hard time getting up if they didn’t retire.

He had left her at the door of her bedroom, kissing her lightly on the cheek like any gentleman would have done. “I promise we will discuss our situation but not now. I refuse to ruin our evening.”

She hadn’t said a word. It wasn’t because she didn’t have anything to say. She was unable to. Her throat had been choked up with tears of joy at his words.

Perhaps he was willing to change his mind after all.

Only time will tell, she had thought last night. Abigail had lain awake, staring out the window at the clusters of stars, wondering how her life was going to turn out. Her last thoughts before she drifted off were if dreams did come true when wishing upon a star, she had plenty of them to wish upon.

A movement in the distance distracted her thoughts. Over the fence line, a furry little ball of golden honey frolicked in the tall grass. She hurried towards the familiar pup, the one she called Trouble, shocked he had gotten so far from home again.
