Sweet Callahan Homecoming
“Xav asked Running Bear, when the chief appeared beside him atop the snow-covered mesa. The days were shorter, the nights darker and colder. Something sinister stirred inside Xav, a pressing warning he could feel sitting heavy between his shoulders. Ash appeared more content than she’d ever been, her time spent almost exclusively with the babies now. But he kept a secret from her, and it troubled him. He’d waited for Running Bear to visit the ranch, but he hadn’t yet been to see his great-grandc...hildren, a fact that puzzled Xav.
So he’d kept on ice the knowledge that had hit him one day, not about to share his realization, not even with Ash. In spirit, she seemed as though she was in waiting, hanging in some strange still place he’d never seen her inhabit before. She didn’t mention Wolf anymore or her desire to kill him. It was almost as if she’d wiped Wolf and the danger around them out of her mind.
It unsettled Xav. He loved that she wanted to be with her children every minute, but he also worried that a little of her light had gone out, as if she turned a blind eye to the danger.MoreLess
