Mandy rode back to the ranch with hope, and prayed this would be the start of a good friendship.

The clip-clop of Maggie’s hooves lulled Mandy into a deeper state of peace.

The Carters were down at the pond. They talked and laughed together.

The horse whinnied, and the family turned to see her dismount. One of the teen wranglers came over and took care of Maggie. Mandy thanked him and brushed the dust from her jeans.

Jenny ran up to Mandy and hugged her. “Hi, Mandy.”

“Hi, yourself. Did you get some rest?”

“Yeah, I took a good nap. My bed felt so good. Dad wanted us to leave, but I think I talked him out of it. I don’t want to leave. I’m just not going to go out alone again. Ever.”

Mandy laughed. “That’s good. I don’t want to look for you anymore. We need something else to do.”

They both laughed as Rick and Connie joined them.

“Hey, Mandy.” Rick seemed hesitant. “We want to thank you…and apologize. I’m sorry I got so angry at you and Jon. I know it wasn’t your doing, but I was just so afraid of what may have happened to my little girl.” He hooked his arm around Jenny’s neck and pulled her in for a kiss on top of her head.

“I’m not little, Dad.” She looked up at him and grinned.

Mandy placed her hand on Rick’s arm. “Don’t give it another thought. We totally understand. I would have reacted the same way. Jenny tells me you’re going to stick around for the remainder of your week. What would you think of a ride up into the mountains with Jon and me tomorrow morning? We’d like to give you some better memories than what you’ve had the last few days.”

“Can we Dad, can we? Let’s do it. That would be so much fun.”

“Sure.” Rick looked at Connie and grinned. “Let’s do it. That’s a good idea.” After a few more minutes of small talk, they went back to their cabin.

Mandy looked up to the blue sky. “All things do work out for the glory of God and His good purpose.”

Jon met her as she crossed the lot and gave her a hug. They headed to the office.

Apparently, all the excitement and adventures were appealing to some people. Mandy looked up from the registration book. “I hope there won’t be any lasting ill feelings towards our place. Hopefully, memories of what Kane and Mark did here will soon be forgotten. We need to pray hard that they catch those two before they cause any more trouble.”

They settled into their routine paperwork. The radio played calming inspirational music that soothed their souls and helped their attitudes.
