Chapter Five

Outside of Laramie at the ranch

The following morning Jason is ready to start work when Nora stops him. “Now Jason you know I don’t like to tell you what it do.”

He smiles at her,

“Since when?”

“Oh hush. Now if you’d be wanting my opinion, I think you should go to the station and try one more time to convince her to stay.’’

“It won’t do any good Nora, she’s made up her mind.”

“You’re not going to give up, aren’ you. Why if my Sean gave up when I told him no the first time we never would have married.”

“You turned Mr. Delancy down the first time he asked you to marry him?”

“I told him no three times before I said yes.”

“But why? “

“He really wasn’t ready to marry the first three times.”

“And that was because?”

“Well, the first time he was only seven, the second time he was fourteen, the third time he was sixteen the last time he was eighteen and was heading to America. I knew he was ready to have a wife then and I figured I held him off long enough.”

Jason smiles and shakes his head

“Nora I wish you were just a bit younger.”

Nora blushes

You’ve got some blarney in you, Jason Anderson, trying to turn me head like that. Now you go into town and try to get that pretty lassie back.”

“You don’t give up do you?”

“No”

She gently pushes him out the door

He makes it to town and slowly makes his way to the station. How would he change her mind? He had to admit even he would be inclined to wonder after Brandy’s incident a few nights ago. As he rides up to the station, the train was already there. He dismounts and races toward the platform, hoping that she was still there waiting to board.

“Laverne!”

He rushes up to her.

“Laverne please don’t leave. I ..”

She looks at him.

“I’m sorry Mr. Anderson but I have made up my mind I don’t think you’re ready to commit to marriage right now.”

He places his hand on her arm.

“I’m ready to commit Laverne, I really want you to stay. You can’t make a judgment after only being here one day.”

“I think I saw enough.”

“Brandy? You may not believe me, but I was friendly with her as I am to everyone in town. If she read more than that in it, I cannot not help that.”

“I’m not accustomed to witnessing my fiancé and that lady arguing in the street and implying that there was something more than friendship there. I’m sorry Mr. Anderson I must be on my way. I wish you luck in the future.”

“There is no future without you Laverne, and I will make you see that I am ready to make a commitment and make it with you. I love you Laverne and will make you believe me .”

With that she boards the train, Jason watches her board as she finds her seat and sits as the train begins to move. Laverne never looks up as the train leaves while Jason stares at her until the train is out of sight.
