The Moon And the Stars
“Caroline had been nervous about venturing out of the house for fear of coming face to face with the man. Although Nelly had tried to convince her that he wasn’t after her, doubt still plagued her, and fear had crept into her mind once more. At night when she went to bed, she would lie awake for hours and jump at each noise.
It had been cloudy for most of the morning, but the sun had broken through just after noon. Caroline’s supply of thread was scant, and she was running low on food.
There was... no help for it—she would have to leave the safety of her home and go to Liggett’s store.
It was the last Saturday of the month, and the streets were crowded with ranchers who had come into town for their monthly supplies. Caroline’s heart lightened as she stopped to speak to several friends. The Reverend and Mrs. Strand wanted to talk about the harvest-day picnic next week. Before she took leave of them, she promised to bake a chocolate cake, and to help dish out food at the event.
She paused before entering the store and cast a furtive glance toward Nelly’s boardinghouse as if she expected Mr.MoreLess
