Shorty had left town a few weeks ago, and Rose had never been more miserable. Well, she’d never felt as miserable since he’d disappeared when she was younger, and she’d felt forced to marry Arthur. Although she acted as though everything was fine, she ached for what she had hoped she could build with Shorty.

During a lull in the café one afternoon in mid-July, she sat on the steps of her cabin. She needed a small break from work, and everything was ready for the supper rush. She knew Peter would come for her if he needed help, but he could handle ladling out a few bowls of stew for those who came in now. Tilting her head up to the sun, Rose attempted to focus on anything other than her disillusionment and disappointment.

She refused to consider her journey to Bear Grass Springs and Montana a wasted trip. She’d made friends and felt like she could be part of this community. The prospect of forgoing the future she could build here to live on a remote ranch with a limited social group scared her. She didn’t know that she was strong enough to survive living such an isolated life again.

However, she wasn’t certain she could remain in this town, so close to Shorty and yet so far away from him. She yearned for them to find their peace and to move forward. For them to find a way to build a life together, as they always should have all those years ago—before her father meddled and she gave in to his expectations.

She sighed and lowered her head to rest on her bent knees, feeling like the young woman who had lost it all long ago. When she’d set out on her journey, she’d focused on the dream of her reunion with Timothy. She’d failed to envision what building a life with him would truly entail. How foolish of her.

How naive of her.

Her father had always said she lived with her head in the clouds, and she hated to admit that he was right. She’d come here fueled only by dreams and a determination to forget the miserable years she’d spent on her husband’s farm. Hoping to forget the heartache and the loss.

She should have known they made the best companions and always traveled with her.

Sighing, she rubbed her face against her knees and attempted to banish her thoughts about her life in Kansas. About the family she’d had and lost.

“Are ye well, lass?”

She jerked up at the soft voice and gaped at the man peering down at her. She recalled this was Ewan, the youngest MacKinnon brother, the jovial one. He always seemed to be on the verge of laughing or of telling a joke, although today he gazed at her with concern. His blondish hair was disheveled, as though he’d run his hands through it, and his brown eyes were filled with worry.

Shaking her head, she forced a smile. “Oh, no, I’m fine,” she stammered out. “I’m simply enjoying the beautiful day.
