Henry finished his duties at the kitchen and hurried back toward the infirmary to check on Annie. That woman meant more to him then he’d ever admit to anyone but God. He’d never figured on finding love at his age, but then Annie had moved into town with her brother and his wife and opened up that café. One meal there, and Henry was hooked. To have a woman like Annie cooking for him and taking care of him the rest of his life had more appeal than he could ever have imagined.

He remembered the look in Doc Elliot’s eyes when he talked with Abigail in the infirmary a little while ago. His eyes showed much more interest than a friend. Something was going on between the doc and Miss Monroe. She’d had two injuries Elliot had treated, and the two had been together rather frequently because of them. There might be a story there. After all, women were not that numerous, and anytime a man and woman in Porterfield came together, a love story had to be in the making.

Then he stopped and lifted his head in laughter. Wasn’t he making one of those love stories now? He and Annie would be the talk of the town, but he didn’t care. He was falling in love, and that was better than getting the scoop on any story, no matter how big.

Then his thoughts sobered to what his editor wanted. He’d told Henry to keep digging and get the facts behind Doc Elliot’s move to Porterfield. Successful doctors in a large city didn’t usually move to a small town without a good reason, and it was up to Henry to find that reason and write the story. So far, his contacts in Cleveland had given him only the bit of information that Dr. Elliot Jensen had been an up-and-coming doctor at a major hospital then suddenly had quit and moved away.

Abigail’s story had been interesting but not headline news. She came from a family who loved her and provided well for her means. She had followed her brother to Texas and spent her inheritance from her grandparents to open a library for the town. That was the only thing to make her story worth noting, and it had endeared her to the people of Porterfield. He’d taken note of the way the deputy treated Abigail as well as the way Doc Elliot looked at her. Now there lay a good story. It’d be most interesting to see which one of the gentlemen would finally win the lovely Miss Monroe’s hand.
