Juanita was killed in a buckboard wreck yesterday. The team ran away on her. Her funeral is today. I cannot stay here. I am coming west this week.

Your nephew Reg.

“What does it say?” Susie asked.

He nodded and spoke slowly. “Juanita was killed when her team ran off. Her funeral was yesterday back there. Reg can’t stay there and is coming to join us.”

“Oh, my God,” Louise said. “That boy loved her so much—” Holding a napkin to her face, she ran upstairs.

Wet eyes around the table, Chet nodded to his wife. “Louise told the truth. That boy really loved his wife. I am certain he is crushed about losing her. He can mend his heart with us.”

“We’ve got plenty for him to do if he wants to be busy,” Susie said, wiping her wet lashes.

May left the table crying. She was always the tenderhearted one and had taken all of the ranch family losses the hardest.

He and Marge went home in silence, most of the way. Pulling the hard grade, she said, “Will he work the new ranch, do you think?”

“Hard to say. But he might. Depends how broken up he is. That boy loved her and we knew her too. She helped Susie for over a year so we all knew her, and she was a kind, grateful person. She was a gorgeous woman.”

“Susie showed me their wedding picture. She looked like royalty.”

“Yes, she did.”

She clapped a hand on his leg. “Hey, this is still our honeymoon isn’t it?”

“I’m glad you reminded me. We get to the house we can celebrate.”

At his words, she gazed up at her hat brim looking for help. Finally she shook her head at him then he twisted around to kiss her.

Pleased, he turned about halfway back around and looked back over the entire valley to the far high rim. Reg was coming to join them—good.
