“No. What you did has been fine. Good day.”
Angus turned to Clara, who had tears streaming down her face. “Now I’m alone,” she said. “What am I going to do?”
“You ain’t going to do anything. You’ll stay with the Widow Wagon, and I’ll take care of you. We’ll figure something out. You’ve lost one husband and now this — but it doesn’t mean you give up. You just take a deep breath, cinch your saddle, and move forward. One foot in front of the other. It’s all ya can do some days. One step at a time.”
He pulled his handkerchief from his pocket, wiping her eyes — perhaps a little too brusquely. Then, turning to the girls said, “Who wants a few candy sticks from the mercantile? And maybe we’ll get some ice cream after dinner too?”
“Angus!” Clara shouted. “It’s too much. You’ll spoil them.”
“There’s no such thing, girl. Women are made for spoilin’. When given the chance, you let people know you care for them. If you behave, I may just spoil you too.” He chucked her under the chin, winking at her. “C’mon Clara, you look like someone who could use a grape candy stick!”
She laughed, smiling through her tears, and took hold of his offered elbow.
