- About the Author
He fascinates me, Duncan, because he seemed genuinely shook when he told me about Rico, and then he went on to tell me where I was to meet him, assuming Id be a part of his gang again.
Duncan shook his head. He doesnt fascinate Witt. Did you see which way Hartley headed?
No, he went around the house.
But this place where he wants to meet you is only about a 30-minute ride?
Right. He didnt give me a time, so Im going to head out when theres still plenty of light.
You cant be serious? Charlie said softly, but no one acknowledged her.
If he doesnt show, Ill leave him a note and maybe we can still trap him. I still cant believe I went outside without the gun. When Witt finds out hell be furious.
You cant be serious? Charlies voice, although still an incredulous whisper, was louder this time and heard by everyone. Sean looked at her with great compassion and then explained softly.
Duncan is not pushing me into this, Charlotte; I volunteered. Hartley would have hit the bank here whether Id been with him or not, but the truth is, I was with him, and now I want to do something to bring him to the law.
Charlie was silent. She stared at Sean as though seeing him for the first time. Without thanking Lora for breakfast or bidding anyone goodbye, she rose from the table and walked out the door. The Duncans and Sean stayed in their places even as they listened to her ride away.
Well be praying for you, Sean, Duncan finally said. And if you change your mind, there will be no hard feelings. I wont talk to Witt until I hear from you.
Sean thanked both husband and wife after those words and went back to the livery to try to reason with his wife.
On their own once again, Lora rose from the table to pour more coffee for Duncan. She would have returned the pot to the stove, but he moved his chair out and patted his knee invitingly. Lora, never needing to be asked twice, sat in her husbands lap. It had been their special way of cuddling since the day they had been married.
What were you thinking just now as you poured the coffee?
Lora sighed on the question.
Dont want to tell me? he questioned as his arms settled around her waist.
I guess I dont because it means admitting how faithless I am.
Charlie, Duncan said in instant understanding. Lora nodded.
I know all about fears, Lucas, and if she would just turn to God, He would comfort her, Lora said with tender conviction.
You dont sound very faithless to me.
My faithlessness comes when I see the complete lack of hope on her young face. Shes not the hard person I always believed her to be, but at times she seems so closed to spiritual matters.
