Alex Keystone thanked Norm and left.
“Well,” said Norm. “So that’s the man who has come to help Preacher Kinsley. Quite the chap.”
Clara had to agree. A fearless preacher who could not abide injustice and dishonesty. What if one was necessary to avoid the other? She wasn’t about to ask, and she was far less interested in finding out firsthand. She gripped Louie’s hand. His eyes were wide with excitement at the drama he’d witnessed.
“Clara,” he whispered, his words round. “He didn’t even have a gun.”
“No, he didn’t.” But he had something else that Mr. Pottinger recognized, and so did Clara. Power and authority in his words. The sort of man who would demand the truth. She shivered as she pulled Louie out of the store. No one must ever know the truth. But she wasn’t good at hiding it even though she’d been doing so for four years…since Louie was born. One would think she would find it easier after that much time.
But her conscience seared at every falsehood she told to protect them both.
If it was possible she’d avoid the young preacher, but how was she to do that when she and Louie lived with the Kinsleys and she herself had fixed up a room for the interim preacher in the addition to the house?
She would speak to him as little as good manners allowed.
Most of all, she would not get friendly enough he would feel free to ask questions about who she was.
