Brian chuckled as his wife walked, make that marched into the house. She was a real city girl, not an ounce of country knowledge in her. She had a kind heart though. She didn't like the idea of the horse being mistreated either. She'd need to toughen up. Living out here in the wilds was no place for the faint hearted. Animals got sick and died every day. Not just animals. He sighed. There was no point thinking about the family he had lost to this land. He had work to do.

He had applied a poultice to the puncture wound just in case there was anything embedded in the wound. Then he had brushed the horse down carefully, all the time trying to keep his temper under control. He didn’t want to make the horse nervous. It was a good thing Frank had left Charlie back in town. If the man was standing in front of him, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from hitting him. Had he never learned to use a brush and a hoof pick?

"How's she doing?" Frank asked as he came into the barn.

"She'll be alright so long as gets enough rest and that leg heals properly. What'd you do with Stanton?"

"I didn’t push him off the wagon, if that’s what you mean, although I sure was tempted. He's angry though. He was blustering the whole way back about going for the sheriff. He reckons you stole his horse."

The two men laughed loudly just as the barn door opened. Sorcha came in carrying a tray of cookies and hot coffee.

"I thought you hard working men might like a snack."

"Thank you kindly, Ma'am." Frank snuck a cookie from the tray. 'You make the best oatmeal cookies I ever tasted."

"Stop saying stuff like that. You make me look bad." Brian joked but his eyes sought Sorcha's to see what her reaction was. He couldn't help it. He wanted to make her smile. She did it readily enough for other people but with him she was shy. As if she was afraid of him. She wasn’t, was she? He hadn’t done anything to make her fear him. You haven't done anything to make her trust you either. Sleeping out in the barn when you got a perfect good bed indoors. That's for her own protection. Is it?
