Chapter 12

“Love is a command, not just a feeling. Somehow, in the romantic world of music and theater we have made love to be what it is not. We have so mixed it with beauty and charm and sensuality and contact that we have robbed it of its higher call of cherishing and nurturing.”

—Ravi Zacharias, Indian-born Canadian-American Christian apologist

BRONSON—ARMS CROSSED and leaning against one of the pavilion posts—watched the fashion show from a distance in the back of the crowd gathered for the event. He was far too busy to be present, but he wanted to show his support for Tory. At least he’d taken her advice and enlisted Katie, Betty Anne, and Jackie in the task of sewing pioneer costumes. They’d already churned out a pile of skirts, aprons, and bonnets. With Buck in Cheyenne taking care of Ella, they were running a little short-handed these days. A trusted temp agency from Lander would be sending help for the ranch soon.

Tory’s ideas had been brilliant. He’d also talked his sewing force into wearing pioneer garb and manning some of the pioneer stations. Then he’d rounded up a few more folks to man some of the other stations. He now had a good number of the details on his list worked out. In the evenings, he and Tory had been driving around having dinner out and gathering supplies they’d need for each of the stations. Finding old-fashioned butter churners, cook stoves, household items, and old-fashioned candle and soap molds was no easy task, but they found a lot of items for sale locally on the web. The spinning wheel had been a real treasure to find, and Jackie was already teaching herself how to use it.

He and Tory were getting to know each other and enjoying one another’s company. Sometimes she drove them around in Corinthia 13, and other times, he drove them in his pick-up truck. Not only had they enjoyed being together, he’d kissed her at the end of every date. He considered them all dates since he hadn’t spent this much time with a girl since breaking up with his college girlfriend, Erica Bradley, more than three years ago. In fact, he hadn’t had this much fun with anyone else in ages.

When it was Tory’s turn to walk down the runway for the fashion show, he prayed it would go well for her. However, a funny thing happened, only not to Tory. His heart started beating rapidly in time with the loud music the D.J. pumped into the speakers while Tory sashayed down the long platform runway the wranglers had built.

Gazing at her, he realized he was completely taken in by the shy brunette. Only she didn’t look so very shy at this moment. Her confidence kicked in and she tilted her chin up a bit. Her legs swung from the hip and not the knee, just like a professional model. She looked amazing, and he was pretty sure he was in love.

Whistles and clapping broke out amongst the crowd.
