KAT MISSED Texas. She missed the prairies and the huge blue sky. She missed the scent of the honeysuckle outside her bedroom window and the sound of her mother’s laughter when her father chased his wife around the kitchen table. She missed Mari and her brothers. She was ready to go home.

The trip had helped her, she thought as she stepped beneath the stone arch leading into the rose garden. It’d been good to get away from Fort Worth for a while, to step outside the routine. Now she felt stronger, more in control. She thought she’d taken a big step forward.

“With maybe a few steps back,” she said on a sigh as she watched Jake Kimball stroll along the garden path with Miss Starnes on his arm. A flame of jealousy sparked. Blasted man. How dare he make her feel…

Defeated. Kat sighed. He’d also made her feel alive for the first time in ages. However, the interlude in the gazebo was merely that. An interlude. A moment of pure fantasy.

A serious lapse in judgment.

“Miss Starnes is welcome to you,” Kat told his retreating back.

Liar.

Ignoring the taunting voice inside her head, Kat gripped the archway’s mossy wall for support and frowned. She suspected that the sea captain’s daughter would get the matrimonial nod from Jake. He’d been particularly attentive to her during last night’s ball, and now again this morning.

Kat turned away from the garden and wandered back into the house, deciding to spend some time with the Texana collection. Maybe it would soothe this malaise she chalked up to homesickness, but suspected was something more.

Kat made her way to the west wing second floor parlor currently utilized as a Texana print room. There, she gravitated toward the caricatures hanging on the wall. Sam Houston at San Jacinto. A longhorn getting his first look at barbed wire. Outlaws on the run from a Texas Ranger carrying a very large gun. She wondered if Emma had seen these yet. She’d enjoy the drawing of the ranger. Kat and Emma liked to tease Mari about the size of her former-Texas- Ranger-husband’s “gun.” If Emma hadn’t explored this particular room yet, maybe the two of them could pay a quick visit here before their departure tomorrow morning.

Kat had wanted to leave Chatham Park today, but Emma had pleaded for one more day with Dair MacRae. Now Kat worried tomorrow might be too late.

Emma was obviously infatuated with MacRae, and Kat worried about her. She’d suffered some rough times, romantically speaking, in the past and didn’t need another broken heart.

Kat remained in the parlor for over an hour, and she honestly enjoyed herself. The pieces of Texana were fascinating, and it did provide Kat with a little taste of home. As a result, both her heart and her step was lighter when she left the room. She was even able to laugh when Jake’s nieces skipped past her squealing at the antics of an irritated goose they, for some reason, had on a leash. Inside the house.
