Lucky's Lady
“IS THAT YOU?” GIFFORD BELLOWED FROM the depths of his study.
Serena paused outside the open door, suitcases in hand. “Yes, Giff, it's me,” she called back wearily.
“Hey, Miz 'Rena,” Pepper called, grinning at her from his position in a leather wing chair. He lifted his coffee cup to her in salute. “Mighty good to have you back.”
“Thanks, Pepper.” She wished she could have said it felt good to be back, but all she felt at the moment was exhausted. She thought she could have just laid down on the... old Oriental rug between the two blue tick hounds and slept for a week or three. The hounds looked up at her with woeful expressions. One mustered the ambition to woof softly, then fell over on his side, exhausted from his effort.
Gifford abandoned the blueprints on his desk and strode across the room toward her. He looked as vibrant and healthy and cantankerous as ever. There was a flush of color on his high cheekbones. His eyes gleamed with a fierce intelligence. His white hair was in a state of disarray that told of numerous finger combings.MoreLess
