A Heart So Wild (2011)
“Chandos informed Courtney as soon as they stopped to make camp that evening. “We leave off following the Arkansas tomorrow, and won’t be near water again for at least three days.”
Courtney didn’t have much more to wash, but she did have to air out and dry her whole wardrobe. Chandos quickly finished taking care of his horse and Trask’s, and headed for the river with his wash. He finished that quickly too, before Courtney was even ready to start. When she was done, their campsite looked like the... backyard of a boarding house. Clothing was spread out over every available bush and tree and rock.
Courtney found it humorous that their campsite, smack in the middle of Indian Territory, could look so homey. But it did. It gave her a warm feeling that turned into deep contentment, surprising her. Part of that feeling came from just being close to Chandos, and feeling totally safe because he was there. He hadn’t gone away to hunt tonight, and she was certain it was because he didn’t want to leave her alone.MoreLess
