Chapter 12

Sarah watched Chayton’s family disassemble their camp. In very little time, their great tepees were packed onto travois, along with their elderly family members who were too frail to walk the long distance to the next camp. Chayton was taking his family back to their village. He had decided to talk their people into going north, away from the dangers of scalp hunters like Skinner.

Chayton brought his family by for a last farewell. They confirmed their plans to meet again in September, when Logan would bring Laughs-Like-Water the beads and supplies she would need for her work over the winter. The small band of Sioux moved slowly away, the noise of dogs and children gradually fading.

Sarah folded her arms, watching them. “I am sad to see them go.”

Logan wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her back against him. “That is how I feel whenever I part company with Chayton and his family. These are dangerous times for his people. For many people.” He rubbed his chin over the top of her head. She folded her arms over his. She was becoming comfortable touching him, being touched by him. It warmed something deep inside himself that had been cold and empty a very long time.

“Thank you for bringing me with you to meet Chayton’s family. They’re good people.”

“Every society has its good and bad people. Your introduction to the Sioux did little to show you the truth of their ways—at least ways as they are when they aren’t at war.” He rubbed her arms. “I think we should hit the trail, too. You ready? We’ll be at the Circle Bar in a week or so.”

Sarah turned in his arms to look up at his face, wondering at the words he didn’t say, wondering how he would react if his family disapproved of her.
