A Promise of Thunder
“I saw the confrontation between your—er—friend and the ‘Sooner’ and hope you weren’t offended by the man’s rough language.”
Storm stared at the stranger, impressed by his refined speech and manners. He appeared to be in his mid-thirties, with sandy hair and hazel eyes, dressed in the latest fashion. The slim mustache gracing his upper lip twitched when he smiled at Storm. He looked like a prosperous businessman.
Taken in by the stranger’s suave manner, Storm’s answer came immediately. “Mr. Stry...ker hardly qualifies as a friend. I’ve only just met him. And the circumstance of our meeting was deplorable.”
“Ah, yes, the tragic accident involving your husband. How sad for you, my dear. Let me introduce myself. I am Nat Turner, newly arrived in Guthrie to conduct business.” He didn’t mention what kind of business he was involved in, and Storm didn’t bother to ask.
Storm eyed Turner warily, leery of his intentions. “I’m Storm Kennedy.”
“I don’t blame you for being cautious, Mrs.MoreLess
