"Have you any idea of what a man must endure who leads such a life? No, you cannot. No one can unless he lives it for himself."- Frank James

Chapter Sixteen

Odessa tossed her napkin on her dinner plate, pushed back from the table in the boarding house dining room, and stood. “I have to go upstairs and get my sheet music. I need to get to the Silver Queen early for any last minute instructions from Mr. Rearden.”

Zach peered up at her and shrugged. “So?” The tenseness in his shoulders belied his non-caring attitude, but he’d begged her for the last time not to take the damn singing job.

She gazed down at him and clasped her hands beneath her chin. “Please don’t come watch me tonight. I’d be twice as nervous if you were there.”

“Don’t worry. I have other plans.” Keeping his tone nonchalant, he scraped the last trace of gravy from his plate and shoved the beef-flavored spoon into his mouth.

“Good, then I’ll meet you back in the room afterwards and tell you how everything went.” Her hand on his shoulder sent a shockwave down his arm.

She walked away, taking the warmth from the room with her. Zach had no other plans, but she didn’t want him there. Fine, he wouldn’t go. He refused to show her the hurt he felt and tamped down the urge to jump up, throw her over his shoulder and cart her out of town and far away from the dangers he feared lurked in the saloon. She’d made her choice and he’d honor it if it killed him. He’d have to find some other way to pass the worrisome hours before he met up with Spence and his boys. He doubted sleep would be an easy feat with his nerves jangling like a one-legged man in a foot race.
