AFTER THEY ATE, JOSEPH accompanied the rest of them to the barn to examine the wounds on the expectant mare. Monti had suggested she stay inside to finish cleaning the kitchen, but Emma wouldn’t hear of it. And he was glad to be in her company again. He’d thought he’d spend the whole day with her, yet aside from dinner, he’d barely seen her since they’d arrived.

They neared the stall and found the mare in the corner, resting with one hind foot cocked. That resting leg was the one that had been pierced by the fangs of a wolf, and the injured area had already swelled.

Simeon applied a fresh dose of salve there and to the other lacerations. Emma brought in a bit more hay and coddled the girl for a few minutes. Even Monti stepped into the pen and stroked her dark winter coat. Joseph could only imagine what it was like to have her stroking and whispering sweet comforts in one’s ear. He was having trouble summoning pity for the mare just now.

“Neigh-neigh.” Hannah reached toward the horse, almost pulling herself out of his arms.

“You want to pet the horse?” He straightened the little mite and stepped into the enclosure with the others. The women eased back to give him room, and he helped his niece pet the mare, snuggle into her mane, and plant a kiss on her forehead.

“All right, ladybug. Bid her good day.” He pulled Hannah back and stepped away.

“G’da.” Hannah waved to the horse, and he couldn’t help a grin.

He turned and caught Monti’s gaze, sharing a smile with her. Who couldn’t feel a bit happier when spending time with this little muffin?
