To Love a Stranger
“Why hadn’t Pierce written again? Chad wondered. According to the letter, Pierce had been shot. Was it a serious wound? If it was a critical wound, Pierce wouldn’t have been able to write, would he? And the letter was in Pierce’s own hand.
Just then Ryan charged into the house, slamming the door behind him.
Chad looked up from the letter. “Back from town already? Any news?”
“Nothing good,” Ryan allowed. “No word from Pierce. You reckon he’s all right?”
“The people at the Circle F would have writ...ten if something was wrong with Pierce. I reckon he’s biding his time. He should have our second letter by now. Maybe he’ll answer soon. Anything else newsworthy?”
“Riley Reed is keeping the people of Dry Gulch all riled up about Pierce. Seeing Cora Lee prancing around with a big belly doesn’t help any. Cora Lee’s drunken brother is hanging out in the saloon these days, bitterly complaining about how the vigilantes let Pierce get away. His whining is making Reed mad, and Reed is itching to get his hands on Pierce.MoreLess
