Survivalist - 23 - Call to Battle
“This property, not the house, had been her parents’ property when she was a little girl and Emma Shaw had walked this trail the day she learned her mother was dead. She’d walked it again before deciding that instead of doing policework or something else that was still today a more normal occupation for a woman, she wanted to be a Navy fighter pilot. She’d walked the trail again when Hank Walsh had asked her to marry him and she thought she might be pregnant with his baby. She hadn’t married him... and she hadn’t been pregnant, either, just very late.
Emma Shaw, the .45 chamber empty and stuffed into the waistband of her blue jeans, her T-shirt covering its presence, walked the trail again. It wasn’t a steep trail, nor was it any more or less picturesque than anywhere else in the mountains here, but it was hers.
Her father had wanted to give her the property when she’d told him she wanted to build a house here, perhaps feeling sorry for her that she might end up an old maid and trying to show his love for her.MoreLess
