John stopped reading, feeling as if he were trespassing. Susan should have the letters and not share them. He’d leave them for her. But the paper. A book he could sketch and write in. He hoped she wouldn’t want them. Thought about asking her, but decided he’d take them and see what he could do.

He cleaned up the wagon, and after an hour’s work, he had a nice little place for Susan to sleep in. He stepped out of the wagon and nearly ran into her.

She stared at him. “I brought you some lunch.” She looked at the book in his hand.

“I made you a bed in the wagon. I found this book, paper, and pencils. Do you mind if I use them?”

She shrugged. “No. They really aren’t mine.” She handed him a plate. “You could write your stories. Maybe sell them when we come to a town.”

John nodded. “I was thinking about that. You sure you don’t mind. I feel like I’m stealing them.”

“Dan was your friend. I don’t think he’d mind. In fact, I bet he’d want you to have them. I can’t see Ed using them.”

John laughed. “You’re right there.” John chuckled and then felt guilty for making light of Ed.

Susan folded his hand over the pencils. “Do what you can with them. A gift from Dan and me.”

John wanted to grab her and kiss her lips, but he didn’t. Wouldn’t. She was Dan’s queen. The woman he loved and wanted to take care of. For Dan, John would watch out for her. Keep her safe. Make her smile.

Susan looked in the back of the wagon. “I see what you did. It’s great. Thank you, John.” She came back around and took his hand. “You’ve been so kind to me.” She was nervous around him.

Looking up, she pointed. “We’re almost to the bluffs. Ed said we’d stop there for the night. He said after we go through the pass, we can see the Rocky Mountains in the distance. I can’t wait.”

John put a hand to her cheek. “I’m sure it will be beautiful.” But he wasn’t talking about the mountains. He was talking about her. What was he going to do?
