Rafe leaned back and sipped his coffee. “So, wife, I see you decided to join us this morning. What’s on your agenda for today?”

Sarah stopped with her fork in mid-bite. She ought to be used to his surly visage by now, but it still managed to startle her. He couldn’t know about her plans, could he? Unless he was the person Rose thought she saw in the shadows. She tensed, knowing she had to choose her words carefully. “I thought I’d take some photographs.”

Rafe took another sip of coffee, then set down his mug. “Try to stay out of my men’s way today. Okay?”

“Fine.” Sarah looked down at her plate, and went back to her meal. Rafe was spoiling for a fight, but he wasn’t going to get one from her. She had important business to take care of. And his wounded ego was the least of her concerns. She heard his chair scrape the floor as he stood up, but didn’t glance his way. Moments later she heard his angry boot-steps to the door, then the bang of the screen door. She finally glanced up to see inquisitive glances thrown her way by several of the men still at the table. Travis was goggle eyed, Tab had an amused smile on his face, and Zeke looked downright surly.

Sarah shrugged and stood up. “What can I say? He’s not in a very good mood this morning.” The men looked back down at their food. Sarah picked up her dishes and carried them into the kitchen. She walked up to Rose who was putting a stack of plates into the sink. “Well, I’m off to investigate.”

Rose wiped her hands on a dishtowel. “But how do you know where to go? The ranch is pretty big.”

Rose was right, but what other choice did she have? If luck was with her, she’d stumble across the right location. “I recognized the topography from the slides last night. I figure if I head for that area, I’ll run into what I’m looking for eventually.”

Rose frowned and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. “But that’ll take you forever, dear. There has to be a better way to go about this.”

Sarah shrugged and leaned back against the counter. “None I can think of. I really have no other choice than to go on my own. You know that if Rafe finds out about it, he’ll try to stop me. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”

Rose smiled and put the dishtowel down. “I’ve got an idea. You wait right here, and I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

Sarah was surprised by her animation, but she didn’t have time to stand around. “Rose, I need to get going.”

Rose put her hands on her hips. “Have patience, child. A few minutes this way or that isn’t going to make much difference, is it?”

“I suppose not.” Sarah watched Rose go out the door then busied herself, by rinsing dishes and stacking them in the dishwasher. She glanced impatiently at the clock, wishing Rose would hurry up.
