* * * *

Morgan had just propped his feet up on the desk, pulled his hat down over his eyes and leaned back in his chair when the door opened. He pretended he was asleep, hoping whoever was there would just go away and come back later.

His entire morning had been one confusing occurrence after another and he was exhausted trying to sort it all out. The unknown person shut the door but their booted feet on the floor let him know they hadn’t pulled it shut from the outside. Just his luck.

Long moments ticked by and when no one spoke, Morgan sighed and lifted the hat off his face. Seeing Holden standing there grinning at him confused him even more. “Please tell me you’re here to explain why the whole town has gone soft in the head.”

Holden raised an eyebrow and sat in the vacant chair across from the desk. “What? You don’t know?”

Morgan shook his head. “Nope, but every person I’ve seen today has wished me luck, congratulated me for something, or they just stood there grinning before they started gossiping.”

“Have you asked anyone about it?”

“Hell no. I was too confused at first then got this funny feeling I wasn’t going to like the answer so I was trying to ignore it until you came in. Now, what are you doing in town? Better yet, why are you still grinning at me like that?”

Holden laughed before standing up. “You better come on. You can’t go dressed like that.”

“Dressed like this for what?”

“Your wedding.”

Morgan imagined a lot of things today when every one started acting funny but a wedding, his apparently, hadn’t been one of them. It all made sense now, though. The congratulations, the smiles, and the gossip. The whoring, drinking, single town marshal getting married was enough to get the town talking and it had. He just wished someone had told him about it.

He eyed Holden as he lowered his feet to the floor. His brother was dressed in his Sunday best, his boots shined up and his dress hat on. He’d even put on a string tie. He looked quite spiffy. Every bit the well off rancher he was. Standing, Morgan glanced out the window, his eyes widening when he saw Alex in the buckboard sitting beside his pa. “How’d you get him out of the house?”

“I didn’t. Not really. I told him me and Alex was coming to town to see you get hitched and that far-off look usually in his eyes cleared. He stood, walked to his room and came back out with his boots and hat on.”

“He dressed himself?”

Holden laughed. “No. He was still in his drawers but I saw fit to find his clothes for him.”

Rounding the desk, Morgan walked to the door, opened it and looked out at his pa. The man hadn’t been right in the head since their mother died. They weren’t sure what happened to him exactly but it was like a switch had been flipped and he lived in a world of his own making.
