A Good Man for Katie
“Ephraim pointed to a small stone stuck between Champion’s hoof and his shoe. “Got to be uncomfortable as hell.” He pulled a hoof pick from the pocket of his leather apron and pried the stone loose then inspected his handiwork. “Good as new.”
“How much do I owe you?” Chase asked.
Ephraim quoted a price as he released his grip around Champion’s forelock. Chase dug the proper coins from his pocket. He would have paid more if asked as he placed Champion’s well-being above his own. The horse had bee...n a good and faithful companion and deserved nothing less. “Thanks, Ephraim.”
The blacksmith grinned and stuck out his hand, one of the few people in town who held no malice or suspicion or hatred toward him. He’d once told Chase he didn’t care who or what a person was, as long as he or she took good care of their horses. “My pleasure, Chase.” They shook before Ephraim patted Champion’s shoulder.
Chase took Champion’s reins and led him toward the open doors of the livery.MoreLess
