Being the only postal employee in a small town, the petite extravert was always ready for conversation.

But then, they seemed to remember everything - probably because they kept it revived for entertainment.
Why had Cade singled her out for the job?
No. I have a truck, but it hasn't started for a month.
What would he want for breakfast?
A small frosted window allowed light to enter the room that was obviously a storage space for heirlooms.
I apologize for badgering you about your mother.
He watched her intently for a few moments longer and then turned his attention to his food.
She watched him head for the barn and wondered how he could stand being out in the cold all day.
Would they be snowed in for a week now?
She leafed through the book, looking for a clue.
She stared at the kitchen doorway, waiting breathlessly for the person to appear.
She lifted the chair and ignored his offer to carry it to the kitchen for her.
The statement was an open invitation but she was several conversations wiser now, and waited for him to volunteer the rest of the story.
He turned and headed for the family room door again.
He didn't wait for an answer.
It always hits the spot for me on cold days.
She shrugged and went back for an armload of wood.
You start that and he'll hang around for sure.

About two hundred yards away a lone wolf stood poised for flight, watching them cautiously.
They leave them for breeding purposes.
No, I simply think there is a proper way to do things, and humans have a habit of doing what pleases them at the moment, not what is best for the future.
Of course, it would be more profitable for the ranch if I culled those animals by taking them to the slaughter house.
The trouble is, my ranch has been a safe haven and even headquarters for the wolf population around here.
So far, deer and rabbits are easier for a few wolves to pull down than a healthy cow, but if the pack gets too big they may go after cattle.
You'd fall for him.
Well, he isn't interested in me, so the door is still open for you.
Were her feelings for Cade so obvious that he had detected them?
He wanted her to look elsewhere for romantic attention.
It didn't look good for him.
I twisted Cade's arm to get him to come out here with me for a picnic lunch.
I forgot for a minute.
They talked for several hours and when Mary left, Cade was nowhere in sight.
He came in for supper and ate in silence.
He shrugged nonchalantly, but his gaze rested on her thoughtfully for a few moments before he finished his meal.
Funny how little things like that could stay in a person's thoughts for hours.
Was it possible for him to sleep through this weather?
Cade who felt no desire for a woman?
For a moment she lay still, afraid any movement would frighten him away like a wild cat in the daylight.
For a moment she had the shocking realization that the situation was out of control.
For him it was nothing more than a brief episode of pleasure.
She scrubbed her skin rosy for nearly an hour and finally abandoned the attempt to remove the guilt.

Lisa wasn't looking for it, but when she saw it, she knew what it was.
Try walking in my shoes for a day.
He stared down at her for a moment, his expression unreadable.
The crisp morning air wasn't necessary for the purpose of waking her up.
Did he suspect that she was beginning to feel more for him than simple friendship?
Right now she only had time for school.
Roxanne had a set her cap for him and Adrienne had no intention of being the one to spoil her friends' plans.
He paused for a moment to catch his breath.
For a moment he looked confused.
Adrienne was still smiling when Brandon opened the door for her.
The idea that Brandon felt relieved wasn't all that flattering - or comforting, for that matter.
It hasn't been easy - for either of us.
You're probably not used to eating like this, but when you're cooking for men...
Mr. and Mrs. Marsh stared at her for a moment and finally Mr. Marsh spoke.
What do they do for a living?
Adrienne expected a sharp response from Mr. Marsh, but he only regarded his wife thoughtfully for a few moments.
Brandon was fortunate to have been raised by two people who cared as much about each other as they cared for him.
That was unusual for Brandon.
At times he seemed on the verge of revealing it to Adrienne, only to draw back into himself and avoid her for days.
They were disappointed when Adrienne didn't invite Michael... or anyone else, for that matter.
The smoke was bothering me and I didn't want to ruin the party for all of you, so I simply walked home.
He gazed down at her for a long time.
For a moment she was too startled to do anything but stand there.
Was she merely a female to hold for the evening - or was this what he had been trying to tell her for so long?
Was he was feeling more than just friendship for her?
Yet, wasn't it better if the issue didn't surface for a while?
She gently tugged her wrist from his hand, searching in her purse for the keys to the apartment.
Working, studying... don't you have a minute you can set aside - for me?
Then they were locked in a passionate embrace, seeking and finding the love they had been pushing aside for so long.
They kept their emotions at bay for the most part.
Since they were scheduled to be too late for supper that day, it was a good excuse to eat out together.
It's been more than that for a long time - or am I only imagining things?
I've been living in the same apartment with you for two years.
Julia swung away from the door and called for Rachel.
Did he think the rules were only for the others?
We can't expect them to make an exception for us.
I let our stupid house rules stand between us for a long time, but I was the one who finally broke them.
The news out and the engagement ring twinkling on her finger, it was hard for Adrienne to keep her mind on her studies - and Brandon wasn't helping much.
For a moment they both stared at each other in silence.
Will you two hold it down for a few minutes?
The highway ahead of them was clear, except for one big truck coming their way... and a car approaching the highway to their right.
Sometimes she would stop crying for a while, and it seemed that she was gaining control.
What would it have hurt to put her studies aside for one day?
Mrs. Marsh glared at the papers, as if they were to blame for the situation.
They were silent for a long time on the way back.
Kids think their parents should work two jobs to pay for their college education.
The more she heard, the harder it was to believe the job was for real.
Davis handed her a scalding cup of coffee, his chocolate gaze scrutinizing - probably searching for some indication of congeniality.
She tossed out the verbal bait and waited for him to strike.
I'm not against a woman having a job, as long as she sticks to work meant for women.
Get those mules inside the circle of wagons and be ready for trouble.
She watched the dunes anxiously for Bordeaux.
Her feelings for Bordeaux had become more than mere friendship.
Hours later, baked by the sun and choked with dust, Pete finally called a halt for the day.
He could have gone to get those troops - or to Ashley for that matter.
Certainly he wasn't responsible for their safety.
That had to count for something.
Oblivious to her frozen stare, his black eyes fixed on Bordeaux as he dashed for cover.
Or, we could throw our saddles on the mules and use the rest for pack animals.
Saddle a mule for each person; pack all the supplies you might need on the extra mules and burn the rest of the supplies.
He mulled it over in silence, sipping on his coffee while they all waited for his decision.
They packed as much as they could on six mules and left the other six for riding.
Using the extra sand, they made fortifications and bedded down for the night behind them.
Cassie had to smile when Bordeaux positioned himself in a spot less than ten feet from her and pretended to settle down for the night.
Separating might increase the risks for some, but it would reduce the risk of everyone being captured.
From the top of a dune they paused for a backward glance.
For the first time, Cassie realized what a target they had been around the fire at night.
They'll have to wait for water, the same as we did.
Maybe you'd like to stick around here for a while to see if they show up.
His eyes constantly roved over the dunes and his rifle lay across his lap, ready for use.
He dropped to the sand and crawled the rest of the way to the top, peering over the edge before he motioned for her to continue.
Thankful for the change of subject, Cynthia launched into a description of her latest conquests with the cat, again tucking that nagging doubt to the back of her mind.
Cade was trying to be accommodating, but sometimes he was as skittish about conversation as the cat was about being touched - and likely for the same reason.
Her cheeks flushed again and in her desperate search for something to explain her preoccupation, she plunged into the subject of the curtains.
For a minute she was afraid she had stepped over the line.
Handing out compliments seemed to be out of character for him, but hadn't he always been honest and direct?
Every Friday they went to town for groceries and he never questioned what she bought.
He paid for the supplies with a check and took her and Mary out to eat.
Cindy, how would you like to do some redecorating for me?
You have a natural instinct for the simple but elegant.
For me everything is functional, but you have style.
I mean, it might be hurtful for your sister to see me using your mothers' things.
Was she falling for him?
He was already responsible for her food and housing.
Cynthia reached for her purse.
Mary contemplated her soberly for a few moments and then spoke gently.
Well, maybe it does for some people, but not a hard hearted old witch like me.
Under that facade of indifference beats a heart primed for breaking.
For a while she was going to be far too busy.
She was falling for Cade.
For the next week, she tried to stay too busy to think about him.
I assume you're the one responsible for the new look.
Don't you think you're setting yourself up for a disappointment?
Save the smart talk for later.
She quietly crossed to the kitchen and put some water on the stove for coffee.
He knelt beside her and reached for the cat.
His features twisted into what might have passed for a wry smile.
Bandages are for humans, not animals - not for things like this, anyway.
He'll limp around for a week or so and then he'll be fine.
Her smile broadened into a grin as she reached for the cat.
She caught her breath, realizing for the first time that he was actually an attractive man.
Locked herself in her room for days working on layette sets for the grand children Russie would never provide.
I actually felt a little sorry for her.
So that was why Cade felt responsible for his mothers' death.
I think this place is beautiful, and apparently the ranch is paying for itself.
Would you believe he covers up with the excuse that he's saving himself for one special girl?
I mean, he's a twenty eight year old man, for heavens' sake.
Why is it virtuous for a woman to practice chastity, and ludicrous for a man?
You defend him because you work for him and you're a loyal employee, but I'll bet you've wondered why he's so unresponsive.
Because Cade was so reclusive and entertained controversial ideas, he was a target for that kind of gossip.
So it had all been a show for Claudette.
How could he betray her trust so utterly - for the sole purpose of proving a point to Claudette?
In fact, she had been nothing more than a spectator for a convincing roll Cade was playing.
For a long time he simply stood there, and when he finally spoke, his voice was controlled.
I want to apologize for forcing myself on you and I want to assure you that it will never happen again.
I'm not sure who started that story, but it floated around here for my last two years of high school.
Then I wondered if you were putting on a show for her to prove nothing was going on between us.
I didn't mean for it to be that way.
His anger was unfounded, but she had to accept some of the blame for his method of approach.
He couldn't have asked for a better housekeeper, but the atmosphere between them had become strained.
I need to go to town for something so I'd better get started.
Why don't you let me go in and get it for you?
Dark splotches hindered her vision and she paused, planting a hand firmly on the counter for support.
The back door was too far away for her rubbery legs, and the only alternative was the sink.
A mental picture of Cade shopping for such items brought a smile to her lips.
I'll leave this here for you.
I know what you're up to and thanks for the concern, but I'm fine now.
You've been working for me for almost three months now and this is the first time I've ever seen you sick.
He reached for the bowl.
For a moment he gazed down at her as though something were troubling him, but then he finally turned.
Maybe he was one of those men who felt they needed to protect and care for all women.
Why don't I pack a lunch so we can go down to the pond for a picnic?
I was raised on a farm, and being an only child, I learned not to depend on others for entertainment.
Why would he be upset with Mary for paying them a visit?
In the next few minutes she had reason to believe that wasn't his only cause for concern.
Had that been the purpose for his trip to town?
She might be worrying for no reason.
For that much she was grateful.
For the rabbit, it was a bad day.
For the hawk and her young, it was a good day.
You haven't been in to see Mary for a while.
Why don't we go out for pizza tonight?
He glanced at her sharply and regarded her thoughtfully for a few moments.
She turned and headed for the house without waiting for an answer.
She reached for the doorknob and he grabbed her arm.
She reached for the door with the other hand.
If you want to go into town for pizza, please don't feel obligated to invite me.
I work for you.
No, but there's nothing odd about a Tom cat wandering off for a few days.
I'd better put it back before Scruffy comes looking for it.
Over supper they talked of the expected foal, the ranch, and everything but why they hadn't talked much for the last four days.
Not working as hard as you, that's for sure.
How's that for squirming out of a leading question?
It's just that... well, it isn't right for two people who aren't...
Now his only concern was that she had his meal ready when he came home for supper.
The smartest thing for her to do was to pack up and leave.
Tomorrow Uncle Henry and I must start back for Kansas.
As for reaching the top of the earth, I have never heard that it is possible to do that, and if you succeeded in getting there you would probably fall off.

For a moment she wanted to retract the part about being entertainment, but when he spoke she realized it might have been exactly what she needed to say.
Her expression must have looked stricken, because he reached for her.
She snuggled into his arms and felt safe for the first time since the accident.
I didn't mean to make you late for your appointment.
The answer surprised her, but for some reason she was sure he wouldn't hit her.
She simply wasn't looking at it – or maybe for it.
I keep warning you about the wild life, but you have to learn for yourself, don't you?
She had assumed the pool was for his daughter.
He reached for her robe.
She started for the patio door and he gripped her arm.
For a few minutes he sipped it in silence.
Yancey was down the trail to whatever he did for a living.
She stood for a moment, trying to remember what the smell was.
Soon she would need to come back home to get ready for college.
But instead of packing, she cleaned the house and went for a ride.
He glanced up sharply at her statement and regarded her sourly for a moment.
He paused, as if searching for a tasteful word.
Mary was silent again for a few moments and when she spoke it was in a controlled voice.
Maybe it would be a good idea for you to stay out there a while and find the answers.
They rode in silence for a few minutes and finally he looked up.
He turned his horse and beckoned for her to follow.
She glanced up again and realized he was waiting for some kind of response.
He shrugged, turning to his saddlebags for the food.
It might be innocent to him, but it was far from that for her.
For the next week she cautiously accepted his occasional displays of affection.
For crying out loud, Cindy, he'll be devastated, Mary interrupted.
Every morning she crawled out of bed and retched for a while before getting ready for work.
She wanted the best for it - better than what she had.
He paused only long enough to locate her, and then made a straight line for her.
All right, I'll ask for a break.
So that's why you acted so cool for a while.
I swear, I never intended for things to go that far.
They were both silent for a few moments, remembering that emotion packed morning - and another one.
You said marriage was for people who wanted to spend a lifetime together, not a few nights.
I wanted you to tell me that wasn't your sole reason for wanting to get married.
Do you have some reason you want to put it off for a while?
I think it was a turning point for me, too.
By the time Claudette showed up, I knew for sure.
For a moment he held Zach, body in one hand and head cradled in the other.
You've had the nursery ready for him a long time.
