Chapter Three

Lance looked across the land that made up the Broken Spur. He deserved all this land he had worked for, but he wasn’t going to let his father dictate who he would marry to gain what was his. Marry a woman he never saw before? Who ever heard of a Southern belle still unmarred at twenty-seven years old? There had to be something wrong with her. As Lance sat atop his horse deep in thought, Ben rode up and slowly make his way behind him.

“Shame on you Lance, I thought I taught you better than to let someone sneak up on you,” Ben admonished.

Without turning Lance smiled and answered, “Well I knew it was you Ben, those dang spurs of yours were a dead giveaway.”

“Tell me Ben, do you think it’s right what my father has done? What do you even know about this woman? Is she homely?”

Ben smiled and looked at him.“ I can assure you she is not homely.”

“You’ve seen her?”

“Just a photograph, but yes, she is pretty.”

Lance looked at Ben. Never in his life had Ben lied to him

“Well Ben I’ll hold you to your word that she’s pretty.”

Ben smiled and they headed back to the ranch.

Lance was finished up his lunch when Travis called for him to come to the office. He walked into his father’s study.

“You wanted to see me pa?”

“Yes Lance have a seat. Lance, my boy, today a young lady is arriving at the train station. Now I’ll only ask that you meet this woman and be civil to her.”

“But pa I told you I-”

Travis put up his hand and gave Lance a picture of Silla.

“This is the young lady. Her name is Drusilla Montgomery and she’ll be staying in town for the first few days. I think I’d like her to see the town and get a feel for it first before bringing her here.”

Lance looked at his father, then the picture of Silla. She was not some old maid at all, but a beautiful woman. Travis smiled as he watched his son stare at the photograph.

“I thought you’d change your mind once you’d seen her. She is rather lovely don’t you think?”

Lance just stared at the photo. Oh she is beautiful, he thought to himself.

“So what’s her story pa? I mean a beautiful young woman needs to come out here to find someone to marry her?”

“All you need to do is thank your lucky stars she’s willing to come out here and try to put up with you,” Travis said with a smile.

Lance looked down at the picture again and an idea began to form. An idea that might get both of them what they wanted.
