Chapter Thirteen

“I’m afeared for Miss Carter,” Moira admitted as Pryor tucked the blankets around her before handing her the baby. She kissed the top of Bridget’s head and nestled the baby against her arm while Pryor beamed at both of them.

“Oh, are you now? I’m more afraid for Wyatt, if you want the honest truth!” he answered with a laugh. Moira wasn’t to be dissuaded with humor, though.

“I’m serious, Pry. She’s working herself into a tizzy, and for what? For Mr. Flynn to dismiss her at the end of her labors? What if those two can naw work through their differences?” she asked, looking up in dismay.

“Dearest, they’ll have to. It’s as simple as that. They have no choice but to come to an understanding. Besides, I can’t picture Wyatt not doing all that he can for those little ones. He loves them more than anything, and was the proudest papa ever who breathed when they were born.”

“I find that hard to believe!” Moira answered with a laugh. “No one in the territory was prouder than you over our Matthew and Bridget! You stopped people coming off the train to tell them you’d had another child born!”

“That is just an ugly rumor you heard, and no one can prove it,” he replied with a haughty look. Moira had to laugh.

“Only because the poor souls got right back on the train and high-tailed it out of New Hope, just to get away from the mad man and his babes!”

“You don’t know that. Perhaps that one man was already planning to continue west, and had simply gotten off at the wrong station.” Pryor laughed good-naturedly before sliding into the bed beside Moira. He looked over her to the floor where Matthew slept in a trundle bed pulled out for this purpose. A winter storm has passed through, bringing another round of frigid air, frozen rain, and unbearably bitter air with it, and he kept his family close together for warmth on nights like this.

“I just hope they all come to their senses,” Moira said mournfully. She closed her eyes in a quick prayer for the Flynns’ health and happiness, then slid her body back against the length of Pryor’s tall frame for warmth. She’d just closed her eyes when his voice broke the silence.

“They’ll have to. Their lives depend on it.”

“What do you mean?” Moira cried in a whisper, her eyes flying open as she craned her neck to look back at her husband.

“They can’t keep going this way,” Pryor answered with a defeated sigh. “If Flynn doesn’t snap out of it, he’s as good as dead. Miss Carter will head back east to her people, but he’s got nowhere to go and those children of his don’t have a single soul in the territory to look after them. He’s a ghost of a man walking the earth, and I don’t know how else to make him alive again.”

“That’s because you can naw, my husband,” Moira said, her Irish ways coming through clear as bell in her heartache.
