“So Dulcey Kineen’s alive and well and in Cordova with Albert Balluta?” Jim said in his office. Mutt, the half gray wolf half husky who let Kate live with her, was watching her favorite man with the usual adoring look in her great yellow eyes.

“No, actually, she’s in Anchorage. They both are.”

“What for?”

“They’re at the Division of Family and Youth Services, applying for custody of Dulcey’s younger siblings.”

“Really.” Jim let the word stretch out. “So that was her price.”

Kate shrugged.

“And Albert’s?”

“Ratio of men to women in the Park used to be seven to one. Since the mine opened it’s probably more like twenty to one. And you know how long most women stay here who weren’t born to it.”

“Um. Well, Albert’s got one of his very own now. Let’s hope he doesn’t know he has a tiger by the tail.”

“Think about it,” Kate said. “Albert’s the head of his family. Dulcey’s the head of hers. They do sort of fit. I don’t know that it’s a happy ending, but it may actually be the right one.”

“Well, you have to hand it to her. She went through every guy in the Park until she found the right one. And speaking of tigers, just what happened that morning?”

“Well.” Kate looked as if she were trying to decide how much it was good for him to know. “As near as I can figure, Dulcey made the mistake of smiling at Albert on their way out the door, which naturally Albert regarded as an invitation to kiss her. One thing led to another and they still had an hour to make the tide, so things got a little… athletic out.”

He let his eyes drop down over her body, lingering here and there. “I can see how that might happen.”

Her answering smile was long and slow and full of promise.
