A Man of His Word
Page 17
After that sweeping victory, she took some doctor-ordered time off. On the day they led Cecil away in shackles, she sat in the nursery of the new ranch house that overlooked the Dakota River and finished Tanner’s baby quilt. Lewis’s was already on the crib. The twins were due in two weeks, but given how much they kicked, she hadn’t been sure she’d make it. At first, the bed rest had driven her nuts. But she’d taken up her needle and thread again, rediscovering a part of her that she’d thought she’d lost.
She was happy here in this new home built on neutral territory, just Dan and Rosebud. Her family was close by, and they made frequent trips to Texas. It had become all she’d ever wanted.
Soon enough, though, it would be Dan and Rosebud and Tanner and Lewis.
She was more than happy here.
She was home.
