Chapter Seven

Wyatt tied his horse to the back of the wagon and crawled into the buggy. “Mind if I drive?”

“Not at all.” Relieved was she wouldn’t have to drive in this treacherous weather.

“Besides, if we’re both in the wagon, we can stay warmer. Or if something should happen, we’re together,” he said, his eyes never leaving the road.

He pulled the wagon onto Main Street, and the poor horse’s hooves slid on the frozen bricks as they gingerly made their way down the deserted street. Every shop, every store, even the saloons had closed early, and only a few people could be seen hurrying along frozen sidewalks, braving the pelting sleet.

At the edge of town, Eugenia considered turning and going back, but once again thought about Scott’s mother, who would be worried if the boy didn’t get safely home.

Reaching back behind her, Eugenia pulled out a heavy lap blanket. “Wrap this around you. It’s going to be a cold ride.”

“Yes, ma’am,” the kid said, ducking his head against the sleet that rained down on them, making a hissing sound like a snake. “Are we going to make it home?”

“We’ll do our best,” she told the boy.

An hour later, they pulled into his yard. Even the hounds stayed hidden out of the cold. In the last ten minutes, the sleet had changed to snow and was quickly blanketing the prairie. Once it covered the road, Wyatt would have no idea where the road traveled.
