Just Her Type
“McCraven?”
Mackenzie glanced up from where she was laying out pages for the next edition. Few people in Bentonville called her by her married name.
She smiled at the man who stood by the half-wall. Looping the top of his ivory cane over his wrist, Jamison Rutherford returned her smile. His teeth were bright in his weathered face. Though his hair was gray, a black mustache emphasized his smile which, unlike his rivals’, glowed in his eyes as well as on his lips. He pulled off his gloves.
“Mr. Ru...therford, please come in.”
He stepped over the pages she had spread across the floor. She motioned for him to be seated in the extra chair. Wishing Luke were here to see that all the cattle ranchers were not thieves pretending to be gentlemen, she sat.
“I see you enjoyed the postcard I sent you,” he said in his high-pitched voice.
“I admit I’ve dreamed of visiting Paris.”
“You’d enjoy it. Maybe someday.”
Embarrassment burned inside her. He knew as well as she did that traveling about the world was only a dream for her.MoreLess
