After breakfast, they went to the saloon to return the dress and to visit with their friends. Sandy adamantly refused to accept the garment, citing that it had been collecting dust in the closet for months after its original owner left. She gave Rebecca a small carpetbag to keep the dress in while they traveled. Josie sat at a table with three other women, intent on playing a few hands of poker while Rebecca went upstairs to visit with Stacey and Victoria, both of whom had remained in their rooms.

“Full house,” Elaine said triumphantly as she laid her cards down and reached for the pot. Despite having a flush in her hand, Josie tossed her cards down. Something else had captured her interest.

“I’ll be back,” she said firmly as she rose from her chair and stormed out the door. Elaine and the others looked at one another for just a brief moment as Josie disappeared from view. They had no idea who or what she had seen, but whatever it was, she was most definitely angry when she left.

Lance stepped down from the wooden walk in front of the mercantile, totally unaware of the activity surrounding him. The next thing he knew, he was being thrown hard against the side of the building, an extremely angry woman in black glaring at him, her hands clenching the front of his shirt. There was a fire in the ice blue eyes, a fire that was reserved for him and he knew it. Never in his young life had he felt so much fear as he did at that very moment. “I-I-I...” he stammered helplessly.

“You are a very lucky man, you know that?” Josie growled, pushing him against the wall again for emphasis. “I don’t like men who try to take advantage of young women, especially...my...friend.” She accentuated the last three words with little shoves into his chest, each slamming him hard against the wood.

“I-I...all I did was kiss her,” he cried, his eyes darting around in a vain attempt to find someone to help him. “I swear I didn’t try anything else, I swear!”

“If you had tried something else....” Josie moved close, her face scant inches away from his. “...the only ‘lance’ you would have left is the one in your signature.” She looked down at his crotch, then back up at his face, and arched an eyebrow. “Got it?”

He swallowed nervously as beads of perspiration rolled off his brow. Josie pulled him forward slightly and shoved him against the wall again, slightly harder than before. She knew he would end up with little more than a few bruises on his shoulder blades and perhaps a ruined pair of britches, but in her eyes, that was a small price to pay for making Rebecca’s first date an unpleasant experience. “Rebecca is a very forgiving person, but I’m not. Be thankful that you get to walk away with all your body parts intact.” She gave him one more shove, then let go of his shirt.
