She shouldn’t have run off like that and left Gage standing on the sidewalk. He’d been polite, that was all. She had been the problem. She looked at him and hoped. She knew better, knew they didn’t want the same things from life, and still she couldn’t help it.

So, she’d been rude, and she regretted it. How could she mend things now? It was too late, anyway. He was busy with his horses and she was moving to town. They’d likely never have to do more than nod politely as they passed on the street.

The mercantile wasn’t busy, and so the bell above the door jangled cheerfully as Sarah stepped inside. The scent of cinnamon and sugar blended with the brine of the pickle barrel, and she wove through the canned goods, looking for Ella.

There she was. Standing at the yard goods counter, her hands clasped behind her back as she gazed into a glass case. Love for her daughter burned deep inside. Forget Gage Gatlin. Sarah had what truly mattered.

“Hey, sweetie.” Sarah fished a nickel out of her pocket. “I saved this for you. Thought you might want something special to wear for your first day of school.”

“Five whole cents! For me?” Ella’s eyes lit like Christmas morning. “I can buy some hair ribbons with that. What should I get? The red is pretty, but I like the pink best.”

“The pink would look awful pretty on my girl.”

Ella beamed. “Then I want two pink ones, please.”

As the ribbons were cut and wrapped, Sarah noticed how Ella lingered at the cotton fabrics. There was a pretty pink calico that would match the ribbon perfectly. Ella didn’t say one word as they turned to leave, but Sarah wished more than anything she could afford that cloth.

All things worked out in time. Two weeks ago she feared they would never be able to leave Milt’s shanty. Now they had a cozy room at the boarding house.

Who knows? Maybe in two more weeks she wouldn’t want to run at the sight of Gage approaching her on the boardwalk. Maybe she’d be able to put aside the memory of their kiss and the thrill of being in his arms.

Surely this affection she felt for him would change like the seasons. With any luck, she’d get a full-time job and move on with her life.

Maybe one of the three letters in her reticule held the answer.
