“Showmanship certainly helps, Harriet.” Jason laid down a pencil and leaned back in his chair. The light from outside silhouetted her nicely in the doorway—floppy hat she’d taken to wearing, hour glass figure, and fraying golden braid—he coughed and quickly sat back up. “You made good time. All the way to Nugget and back in 4 hours.”

“It’s not a hard trail.”

“We picked up three new accounts today.”

Harriet commenced peeling off her riding gloves and turned back around to watch the boys taking her team out of harness. “That’s good news.” She motioned at her teenagers. “How are they doing?”

“Fine. I’m not riding with them on the short hauls anymore. They can handle them.”

“I hope you’re right, Harriet. I hope you’re right.”

She set her gloves and hat on a shelf just inside the door and sat down opposite him. “Let’s divvy up the routes for tomorrow. I need to get home and get supper started.”

Jason studied her for a second more, drawn to her, bewitched by her, but deeply frustrated with her. Lord, is she ever going to see past all that hurt to…what’s right in front of her? He dragged a clipboard over in front of him. “All righty. Here’s what we’ve got…”
