Twelve

For the third night in a row since they'd returned to the ranch from town, Cari lay in bed, wide-awake and waiting. It was after eleven, and she was beginning to wonder if her parents would ever go to sleep. When at last the house grew quiet, she got up, shed her nightgown, and dressed. This time, instead of donning her normal shoes, though, she slipped on the moccasins Silver Wolf had given her so long ago. She was glad they still fit, for she needed to walk silently tonight.

Opening her bedroom door, she peeked out into the hall to make sure everyone really was in bed. Once she was sure it was safe, she crept from her room and out of the house. Barnie was sleeping on the porch and she looked up when Cari stepped outside. Cari hastened to pet her so that she wouldn't bark and rouse her parents, then silently moved away from the house.

The moon was bright as Cari headed for the stream in the hope of seeing Silver Wolf. She was desperate to talk to him again. The memory of his kiss had haunted her every waking moment, and her dreams, too. She wanted to be with him again, to tell him how much he meant to her and how sorry she was for what had happened between him and her mother.

Since the night her mother had slapped Silver Wolf at the dance, Cari had barely managed to be civil to her. She'd expected the woman to admire him for what he'd achieved, and she couldn't believe she still held his Indian blood against him. As much as Silver Wolf meant to Cari, she couldn't let her mother go on thinking such terrible things about him. She wasn't sure how she was going to change her mother's attitude, but she definitely intended to try.

A soft breeze sighed through the trees, and the sweet song of a night bird lilted across the land as Cari moved down the hill and along the bank. It was a beautiful night, and she was hoping and praying that he would be there waiting for her.

Silver Wolf savored the solitude of the wilderness as he sorted through everything that had happened. That first morning alone there had reminded him of why he never drank. Not only had he had a pounding headache that had made it difficult for him to think, but he'd discovered that he'd somehow lost his medicine bag the night before. He remembered having it when he'd arrived at the saloon, but everything after that was confused. He hoped when he returned to town that he'd find it in his room. The bag contained his special "medicine," and he'd never been without it since he'd reached his manhood. He'd been tempted to return to town just to get it, but he'd found himself riding for the Circle M instead.

Silver Wolf had told himself he was being foolish returning to his and Little Snow's meeting place. He'd told himself he should go back to town and forget her, but he couldn't.
