The next day, the women of the Triple C did indeed have to make a trip to Clear Creek. Armed with baskets, they planned to meet Mrs. Mulligan and venture out onto the prairie to gather flowers. Seth left the lobby doors of the hotel wide open to better see the wagons pass by. He was determined to catch Eloise as soon as she got into town. He wasn't disappointed; the Triple C's wagon rolled by within moments after he opened them.

Seth quickly finished a ledger entry, grabbed his hat, and then headed for the Mercantile. He guessed they’d park the wagon there. Sure enough, he watched as Logan Kincaid brought the wagon to a halt at the mercantile’s front steps, and hopped down. Seth quickened his pace. If he hurried he'd get there in time to help Eloise out.

She turned on the wagon seat just in time to see him approach. Her face broke into a wide smile. “Good morning, Mr. Jones,” she said.

“Mr. Jones, is it? What happened to calling me Seth? We are getting married tomorrow, after all.

“Yes,” she sighed. “We most certainly are.”

He held his hands up to help her down. Eloise stared at them a moment. She was going to have to get used to allowing her husband to help her in and out of a wagon. But it wasn't so much his polite gesture that gave her pause, but rather, her reaction to it. Would his hands on her waist give her a thrill of excitement, or nothing at all? Again she questioned herself as to why she would have any doubt about marrying him. When it came right down to it, she had no valid reason for doubting it all. Yet, there was just that something…

“Does everyone have a basket?” Sadie asked.

Eloise reached into the back of the wagon and grabbed the last one. “I have mine,” she said.

“Don't tell me, let me guess,” said Seth. “You're going to pick flowers.”

“They certainly are,” said Logan. “You wouldn't happen to want to go with them, would you?”

“I think I can manage that,” said Seth as he gave Eloise a wink. “Why? Where will you be?”

“I need to speak with the sheriff. I'll catch up with you later, and then you can head back to the hotel.”

“Sounds all right to me, except for maybe the part about going back to the hotel,” Seth winked at Eloise again, and then offered her his arm.

She blushed as she took it, and looked to Sadie. “We're ready.”

“I can see that,” she said. “All right then; let's go.

They crossed the street and went down to the saloon to fetch Mrs. Mulligan. After that, they stopped by the hotel for Constance. Ryder had already left, and was on his way to the Whites’ farm to see about breeding Othello to one of their mares. “I do hope we find enough flowers to meet our needs,” said Eloise.

“I don't see a problem with that, darlin',” said Seth. “Just look around; you got miles and miles of prairie near to bursting with them.
