Chapter Nine

Sara wasn’t home. Morgan clicked her phone shut. Now what? She was stuck with her own thoughts. She took her time eating breakfast and then washed her dishes and watched the hands of the clock move slowly to ten thirty. The bright morning sun tempted her to explore, but there was sure to be animals about, especially dogs. If only she could rid herself of that childhood fear.

She’d dressed in jeans, her pretty new boots, and a blue-and-white shirt. All dressed up and nowhere to go, as the saying went. Her boots clicked on the floor as she paced. When she glanced at the clock, for the hundredth time, it was as if the hands weren’t moving. She sat by the window. A young mother walked by, holding on to a small child’s hand. Two cowboys rode toward the barn. She searched the cabin. Nothing to read, and she hadn’t thought to bring a book. She’d be crazy by the time Justin came for her.

What she didn’t want to do was think about last night. She’d betrayed Ethan, which made her feel sick. But she had such strong feelings toward Justin, too. What had caused his sudden change? She tried to ignore the voice in her head questioning his sincerity. Had he been pretending last night, and just took what she’d offered so easily? Her face flushed with heat at that thought.

Hell, she’d go outside. Staying in here was making her crazy. After checking her appearance, she stepped out and locked the door behind her. Fresh air with just a nip of coolness greeted her. She took a deep breath. In the far distance a range of mountains rose toward a clear blue sky. Seeing no animals in sight, she walked down her sidewalk to the dirt road and turned in the opposite direction of the barn. Wildflowers grew along the side in a profusion of yellow and white colors.

With each step she took, her confidence went higher. At a fork in the road she spotted a large building off to her right. Curious, she headed in that direction. When she got closer, she saw several horses tied to a rail at the front of the building, and a couple of cars parked across from it. The big sign read, General Store. Slowly opening the door, she peeked in. The place was huge.

“Welcome, come in and browse.” A white-haired woman standing behind a register motioned to her. “You must be the lady staying in the visitors’ cabins. I’m Hilda and that’s my husband.” She pointed to a man stocking the shelves. “This is our store. We carry food, clothes, books, most anything you might want or need. Look around.”

“Thank you. I’m Morgan. I decided to go for a walk, and saw your place. No one told me you had such a wonderful store, right here on the ranch.”

“Guess they thought you’d find it, and you did.” She turned to ring up a customer, the woman Morgan had seen earlier. The little boy stood at his mother’s side, eating a cookie.
