A Valentine's Choice: a Montana Sky Series Holiday Novella (The Montana Sky Series)
“Cobb, the shopkeeper. All the ranch hands, and probably every other man in Sweetwater Springs, knew to avoid the two cantankerous women.
He sidled behind one of the standing shelves and out of sight. He didn’t want to choose a card with the widow close by to see and spread gossip.
After a while, James gave up waiting for the two women to stop their chat-fest. He eased around the other side of the shelves and headed toward the bags of flour stacked near the front of the store. Mrs. Toffels wante...d him to return with two.
His plan was to take them to the counter and pretend to discover the cards, casually glance over them, and select the best. Then it wouldn’t seem like he’d made the long trip into town just to buy a Valentine’s Day card. With a bag of flour in each hand, James approached the counter.
Sharp-faced Mrs. Murphy gave him a disapproving shake of her head, which made the rooster wattle under her chin quiver. But, mercifully, she moved out of his way without saying anything.MoreLess
