Where the Wind Blows
Where the Wind Blows
“Jessie had tossed and turned, eventually curling into a little ball before finally falling asleep. Her mumblings had awakened him, so he pulled the blanket up around her shoulders and tucked her in. It was the least he could do for her. She seemed to be sleeping soundly now. He tiptoed out to avoid waking her.
The cabin was quiet with the young’uns still asleep. Chase lit the stove and set the pot on for coffee.
His mind was made up. He wasn’t changing it. Telling Gabe was going to be hard, tho...ugh. Explaining that the last few days had all been make-believe, and now it was time for him to be heading out, would be tough. No matter how Chase circled it, Gabe was gonna think he was a coldhearted bastard.
“Mornin’,” Gabe mumbled from his bedroll. His disheveled hair shaded his eyes, and he yawned. “Didn’t hear you get up. Where’s Jessie?”
“Still sleeping.”
Chase waited as Gabe got up and slung his blanket around his shoulders, a shield from the cold. When Gabe returned from the outhouse, Chase motioned for him to have a seat at the table.MoreLess
