The train ride home this time seemed the longest ever. Pup climbed wearily from her seat, having already checked to see that her dark wig was in place, and moved with the others out into the aisle and onto the platform.

It had never before bothered her to come home on her own, but as she watched a woman embrace her children and reach on tiptoe to kiss her husband, she felt a strange longing. McKay’s face came to mind, but Pup stubbornly pushed it away. This was no time to think of him. When she arrived at the cabin maybe, but not now. With a determined move she shifted her satchel to the other hand. Her destination: the livery.

“Hello, Pup.”

Surprised to hear her name, Pup looked up to find she was walking right past Travis Buchanan.

“Hello, Travis.”

“Just off the train?” the tall man wanted to know.

“Yes.” She stopped before him. “Are you meeting someone?”

“No, but I’m expecting some supplies.” He paused and looked at her for a moment. There was something different here, but he couldn’t quite put a finger on it. He opted for a question.

“Have you seen or heard from McKay?”

“As a matter of fact I have seen him. He’s doing well.”

“Good. I’m glad to hear it.”

“How’s your wife?”

Travis smiled. “Still waiting. I don’t think it will be long, but still we wait.”

Pup smiled, too. She continued to look up at Travis. His height never failed to surprise her, but this time she studied his face, trying to gauge his response to her.

In turn, Travis could see that something was on her mind. His supplies were probably being unloaded right now, but he pushed work to the back of his head and told himself that if it took an hour, he’d wait to see what she had to say.

“You in a hurry to be off, Travis?”

“As a matter of fact, I’m not that pressed right now.”

Pup nodded. It was so difficult when you couldn’t get close, but she had some things she had to know.

“You go to the small church on Second Street, don’t you?”

“Yes. My sons and I attend each week.”

“What time does it get started?”

“The church service begins at eleven o’clock. We’ve just started a short service for the children that starts at half past ten. Pastor Henley’s wife takes the kids for a short time and tells them a Bible story with pictures. During that time the adults have fellowship. The kids then come back to us, and like I said, the service gets started at eleven.”

Her dark, intelligent eyes surveyed him.

“And your beliefs—” she began, “does Pastor Henley follow the Bible?”

“To the letter,” he said softly but with firmness. “We’re working our way through the book of Philippians right now. That’s usually the way Pastor Henley works. He starts at the beginning of a book and preaches and teaches out of it until the last chapter and verse.”

“Can you ask questions?”

“People usually don’t ask questions during the service,” he told her honestly, “but there are some small Bible studies that meet during the week.
