The Confidential Life of Eugenia Cooper (2009)
The Confidential Life of Eugenia Cooper
“The skin would make Henry a lovely belt, and the rattles, well, maybe they’d entertain a little Henry Jr. someday.
“Henry Jr.” She laughed as she spurred the horse to a full gallop. “Wouldn’t that just be the dandiest thing? And maybe a little Mae, as well.”
The Bible said a man with a quiver full of young ’uns was a man well blessed. Not that Henry’s quiver would be full anytime soon. Even if they were married, she hadn’t seen soap and water in a week. Likely he’d prefer she kept to the trail ...than start keeping house for him.
And for today, that suited her just fine. Especially with a dark cloud looming on the horizon. Mae stood in the stirrups and pushed her hat back, letting the wind do the job of brushing the tangles from her hair. She’d ride for the caves and wait out whatever storm was blowing in.
Then tomorrow she’d see Deadwood and dear Henry.
Daniel could have stared at the woman sprawled before him until forced to stop, but propriety required he help her to her feet.MoreLess
