The old man at the livery stable had given him a good horse, Wes thought with satisfaction. The bay was covering the distance back to Chango with long, clean strides, and they would easily reach town by dawn.

Christ, the ride had been hard on Anna. She was lying slumped back against him, her lashes shadowing her cheeks like dark bruises. She hadn’t uttered a word since she’d murmured “yes” in the saloon. He wondered if she was asleep.

With a naturalness that took him by surprise, he slid his hand down over her stomach.

Mine.

Where had that thought come from? And had he been thinking of the child or of her?

The child. The child was his, with the same blood running in his veins, and now with the same name.

Anna. She’d never been his, and the few terse words they had spoken didn’t change that fact. Anna was something he had stolen, taken, and was surely more remote from him now than she'd ever been before.

No, it must be the child who was causing this strong, warm river of emotion flowing through him. His palm moved gently, caressingly, over Anna’s abdomen. Soon there would be the stirring of life there, a life they had created together. The thought was wonderfully amazing to him.

Creation …

The sky was beginning to lighten with the new dawn when Wes carefully lifted Anna down from the horse.

She blinked sleepily. “Where are we?”

“You’re back home.”

“Home?” She turned to see that they were behind the emporium. Confused, she looked back at Wes.

He swung into the saddle and rode away, without a word, without a backward glance.
