“I love you, Kyle.”

Kyle was the happiest man alive. Two days ago, he’d nearly gone mad with the thought of losing Kate. He’d been sure he’d never see her again, unless he followed her all the way to Boston. Something he admittedly would have done once his assignment was over. Now, she’d promised to wait for his return.

He’d wanted to ask her again to marry him, but he’d held back, knowing he had to ride off and would be gone for at least three weeks. Now that she’d declared her love for him, there was no reason why she might turn him down again when he did ask her to be his wife. Whatever trouble she might be in, he’d find a way to help her. There was nothing she could say that would keep her from him again.

Kyle urged Blackjack down the bustling main street of Helena. He’d made good time, but he was still a day behind schedule. It didn’t matter. In his last correspondence with Hiram Devereaux, the date for their departure into the Yellowstone Wilderness was set for tomorrow. Kyle would have liked to have had another day to finalize the preparations, but he didn’t want to delay this trip even one more day. The sooner he brought this expedition home, the quicker he could be back with Kate.

Kyle pulled Blackjack to a halt in front of a Victorian mansion located at the edge of the city, and gazed at the grand two-story building. His cabin seemed like a mere shack in comparison. He’d stopped at one of the many merchant stores along the main thoroughfare in town to inquire about directions to Hiram Devereaux’s residence. The store’s proprietor had assured him he couldn’t miss the residence after telling him where to go. That certainly held true.

Kyle dismounted, and wondered where to tie his horse. A young boy rushed toward him from behind the massive house.

“I’ll take your horse, sir,” the boy said with youthful exuberance.

“Is this the Devereaux residence?” Kyle asked.

“Yes, sir,” he said, then a worried crease appeared on his forehead. He seemed to be studying Kyle with a concerned look on his face. “Mr. Devereaux doesn’t see anyone without an appointment.”

“He’s expecting me.” Kyle smiled at the boy. He reached his hand into the small leather pouch around his neck, and withdrew a coin, tossing it to the boy. “Can you give my horse some water?”

The boy’s face lit up in a wide grin. “Yes, sir. Right away.” Taking the reins from Kyle’s hand, he led Blackjack down the side of the house.

Kyle eyed the stone steps leading to the front entrance of the mansion. A porch wrapped around the building, its roof supported by stone pillars. He climbed the steps two at a time. The front door swung open before he had a chance to knock. A short, plump woman wearing a black maid’s dress, complete with white apron and cap, appeared from within.

“Kyle Russell here to see Hiram Devereaux,” he said, hoping it sounded formal enough.
