The Red River Ring (2012)
“She recognized him even with his back to her as he wrapped the reins through the hitch post ring.
“He got the letter,” she said softly.
She reached into John’s hall desk drawer, fetched his .32 caliber revolver, and slipped it into her skirt pocket. She opened the front door before he made it to the porch steps. He was dressed well enough in spite of his chaps; gray vested suit, white shirt and black tie, matching gray Stetson and nickel plated revolver hammer jutting just past the line... of his open coat. His shape and build were about the same as when he left, but his hair was gray and his fifty years showed in the lines of his face. She wondered how he’d react to her extra fifty pounds.
He looked up, stopped, smiled for a brief moment and removed his hat. “How are you, Mary? You look real good.”
She could tell that in spite of the years that he was the same man. She was relieved that he was in good health.MoreLess
