CHAPTER ELEVEN

Cassie couldn’t sleep. Dinner had been pleasant enough, but now she couldn’t stop thinking about Conrad. It was annoying. His face popped into her head, his smile, those blue eyes, his laugh …

She tossed and turned until she sat up with a groan. “For Pete’s sake.” She got out of bed, went to the window and looked out. “What am I going to do?” It was a good question. Maybe a cookie would help her think. She lit a candle and left her room.

Downstairs in the kitchen she lit a lantern, got her cookie and sat at the kitchen table. She’d never had a man invade her mind like this and wasn’t sure if it was normal or not. Did Letty have the same experience? But Letty was in love. Naturally she’d be thinking about Sterling all the time.

She took a bite and chewed. She had to do something or she’d never get to sleep. Maybe she should take a walk. She went to the window and peeked out. The moon was bright and there was a clear sky, but she wasn’t sure about venturing out by herself. Still, she was sheriff, and venturing into the dark was something she was supposed to be able to do.

She went upstairs, put on her shoes, pulled a skirt on, wrapped a shawl around her shoulders and headed out. On the front porch she stood near the stairs and stared at the empty moonlit street. She lived on the edge of town and couldn’t see much from here. If she walked a couple hundred feet, she could look down the main street and see everything. “Oh, what’s the point?” Still, it might help. She left the porch.

When she reached the main street, she studied the buildings in the moonlight. She wished Conrad was with her. Maybe he’d enjoy a moonlit stroll. She looked at the night sky. It was brilliant with stars, the air cool with a hint of dampness. Would it rain later? She walked past the Featherstones’ and glanced at the bank on the other side of the street and down a couple of buildings.

Soon she was standing in front of the sheriff’s office. The saloon was across the street, and next to it the hotel. A couple doors down on her side of the street was the general store. Apple Blossom might be small, but it wasn’t as small as some towns she’d heard of.

She sat on the bench outside the sheriff’s office and noticed a few lights in the second-story windows of the hotel. Some of the Darlings were still up. Were they reading? And was Conrad one of them?

She turned her head away. What was she doing?! So what if he was reading? What did she care?

Cassie slowly looked toward the hotel again. “Oh, no. Don’t tell me I’m getting sweet on him.” She gulped. What a disaster that would be! But getting sweet on someone wasn’t the same as falling in love. She wouldn’t make that mistake, no sirree.
