Abdul had expected to be somewhat disappointed when Sarah appeared in the new clothing he’d summoned for her, and yet he had to admit there was something to be said for the way the slim jeans clung to her legs and the scoop-necked T-shirt showed off her curves. Not to the point where she would probably comment on the fit of the garments — he was certainly no expert on such things, but he had noted in those days before the world ended that many women wore clothing that seemed painfully tight — but enough that he thought she looked as beautiful as ever, if in an entirely different way from how she appeared in her silken finery.

True, the low hiking boots he’d also provided would never be commended for their beauty, but he could tell Sarah had a much easier time of it as she swung herself up into the saddle that afternoon. Perhaps it had been better before, when she’d needed his assistance and he’d been able to hold her hand, if only for a brief moment, although it was probably for the best that they had no reason to touch one another.

She had disordered his thoughts enough already.

He had called the horses to the house and saddled them while she was changing, so they were able to leave without much delay. This time, he guided them due north, away from the house and toward a canyon he thought she would like. No waterfalls or secret springs, but a creek did run through the spot, and all was shaded by cottonwoods and sycamores, with multicolored rock faces soaring hundreds of feet above.

“How many places like this are around here?” Sarah asked as she climbed down from her horse. Her movements still weren’t entirely graceful, although he could tell she was getting more comfortable about managing such things on her own.

“More than you might think,” Abdul replied. He had also dismounted and now led his horse over to the stream so he could drink from the cool, clear water. “It is part of the reason why I decided to settle at Ghost Ranch. I knew that when the weather was fine, I would be able to find many places of natural beauty to explore.”

“It’s gorgeous.” She’d followed along, and her blood bay mare drank from the water as well, obviously glad of the refreshment after the nearly hour-long climb to get here.

He wanted to say, So are you, and immediately thrust such a foolish notion out of his mind. Yes, she looked very lovely standing there with the dappled shade from the trees casting dark and light on her rich-toned hair, even in those silly hiking boots.

However, he didn’t want to imagine what her reaction might be if he said such a thing, and he knew he had far greater control over himself than that. Some might have said that he had very little control or he would not have allowed him to think such things in the first
