Ponderings of Corbin Bradbury, Josie and Emmy vacated her thoughts once the dull stench of cattle came to her nostrils. Aurora was where she wanted to be. Where she belonged. Roman waved. His pleasure, she could feel, was the same as hers and must be more so now that he still had two legs. Her smile faded when she saw Donovan approach Roman. She’d thought he would not be here. He was no longer needed. The two discussed something briefly and Donovan turned in her direction. Deciding instantly that they put their disagreements aside, Aurora rode up to Donovan. Impatience crossed his face, as she knew it would. After her trip to town yesterday, she’d been humbled. “Mr. Ramsey?”

“Whoa….” He gentled his horse and, instead of glaring at her, he gazed out to the land, a response she thought strange. Was he going to miss this place?

She swallowed anxiety. “I’m glad you’re still here.”

He looked at her then, emotionless, silent.

“We could not have functioned without you. I realize that. Your expertise in ranching is obvious and I… just wanted to share how grateful I am.”

He searched her face a moment and she thought he might come up with an awful retort. Instead he nodded in a decent manner.

“I have this lunch here, plenty for all of us – would you join Roman and I?”

Roman answered for him. “Donovan’s never turned down a hearty meal.” Donovan shifted uncomfortably and Aurora almost had pity for him. Unless he wanted to cause grief to Roman, he was trapped. Aurora’s true desire was to have harmony all about her, and their little squabble about this land was old. These two were family; she wanted Donovan to feel as though he had a place to visit. Anytime. “Please, Mr. Ramsey, join us.”
