Jenny never knew when the Triple T came into view. She only knew that motion ceased. She looked up, saw the stables to her right and the foreman’s quarters to her left. She was home!

Her fingers were numb as she loosed her grip in Cheyenne’s mane. She swung one leg over the saddle horn and kicked the other foot free. Unable to stand, she fell to her knees on the ground.

It took a while, but when she finally could stand, she started toward Chance’s quarters. Staggering weakly, she reached the porch and then turned and stared, wondering why the horse had followed. She looked down at the rein still wrapped around her wrist and would have laughed if she’d had breath enough. He’d had no choice. She’d pulled him with her.

“Now, boy. Now you’re free,” she mumbled as she unwound the rein from her wrist and let it fall into the dust alongside the other one.

She dragged herself up onto the porch, grabbed hold of the doorknob, and turned it. The door swung inward, revealing the long shadows of quickly fading daylight, slashing across the hardwood floor. Jenny’s eyes turned toward the bed in the corner. She stared long and hard at the old metal frame and the blue, patchwork quilt coverlet, and then swallowed. Sheer guts pulled her toward the bed. She managed to get one knee onto the quilt before falling face forward across the bed, arms outflung, legs dangling off the edge, encompassing all she had left of Chance McCall.

The horse stood motionless outside the open door as Jenny cried herself to sleep.
