  • His hands might be soft, but he was capable of dealing with whatever came in his direction.

    0
    0
  • It'll be all right.

    0
    0
  • Everything was going to be all right.

    0
    0
  • By tomorrow I'll be fine.

    0
    0
  • There was some question that he might not be able to keep his own child?

    0
    0
  • Of course, it would be simple to say she died in childbirth.

    0
    0
  • Sarah was his mother, so he would be respectful, and if he wasn't she could always walk away.

    0
    0
  • It would be different with his wife.

    0
    0
  • In any case, Yancey didn't seem to be all that determined to avoid a relationship.

    0
    0
  • There could be a number of reasons that Sarah would welcome her as a daughter-in-law, not the least of which was the goings-on down that path.

    0
    0
  • Dropping it now would be like losing another friend.

    0
    0
  • Those eyes would be mocking her, or maybe filled with fear.

    0
    0
  • The window was barely large enough for her to pass through, but she might be able to get out that way.

    0
    0
  • She carried a chair to a spot that wouldn't be visible on a course from the path to the door, and sat down.

    0
    0
  • But if he saw her swollen eyes he'd be asking all kinds of questions.

    0
    0
  • When will you be able to take me to get my car?

    0
    0
  • And now she had put herself in a position where she would be alone with him in the car.

    0
    0
  • You don't have any reason to be afraid of me.

    0
    0
  • I'll be alright once I get my car.

    0
    0
  • It would be the perfect opportunity.

    0
    0
  • Alright. We'll do it your way... but be careful.

    0
    0
  • Mom will be back soon.

    0
    0
  • Today would probably be the last time she would see her.

    0
    0
  • He must be pacing.

    0
    0
  • She'll be going to college next month.

    0
    0
  • She'll be leaving then.

    0
    0
  • What was it he said that day in the mountains... a body could be lost in those hills forever?

    0
    0
  • It was hard to believe sweet little Sarah would be involved with anything so sinister.

    0
    0
  • Who would be calling her on his phone again?

    0
    0
  • We just turned off the highway, so we'll be there pretty soon.

    0
    0
  • If she was wrong about him... but how could she be?

    0
    0
  • No, Connie wouldn't be smiling.

    0
    0
  • How was I to know you would be so inquisitive?

    0
    0
  • There must be a fortune right here in this building.

    0
    0
  • I'm not sure, but I think it's going to be fun finding out.

    0
    0
  • Maybe it would be wise to separate the two at times.

    0
    0
  • I figured he'd be upset because I was still working on it.

    0
    0
  • Now, if I was trying to hide my identity, the last thing I would want her to do would be to file a police report while she was living under my roof.

    0
    0
  • I could understand why he would be chasing her, but if I'd have known she'd go for a guy older than me...

    0
    0
  • Of course, Brandon was a little old for mama to be fussing over him.

    0
    0
  • No. But if I were trying to defend my honor, you'd be the one I would choose to take up there.

    0
    0
  • The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend.

    0
    0
  • It can't be any more dangerous than driving around in Tulsa.

    0
    0
  • The last thing I want to be is your daddy.

    0
    0
  • Where was the sweet, gentle Brandon who never seemed to be upset by anything?

    0
    0
  • Of course, living in an apartment with three girls couldn't be easy.

    0
    0
  • If it were any other man, she might think it was sexual frustration, but Brandon didn't appear to be interested in any of them.

    0
    0
  • I guess I can be a pill sometimes, but I really do appreciate your concern.

    0
    0
  • I'm afraid I'll be out of town this weekend.

    0
    0
  • You know, I won't be offended if you just say no.

    0
    0
  • You won't be in the apartment.

    0
    0
  • We'll be at his parent's ranch.

    0
    0
  • Brandon would be horrified by any thought of a romantic involvement with me.

    0
    0
  • How would you like to be my date?

    0
    0
  • The minute he detected something more than a platonic relationship, it was going to be good-by friendship.

    0
    0
  • It was beautiful in winter, but it would be much more so when the trees gained color.

    0
    0
  • My father lived to be ninety years old, and he never went on no fat diet.

    0
    0
  • Well, I'll be darned.

    0
    0
  • Adrienne is studying to be a pediatric nurse.

    0
    0
  • He did date occasionally, but he didn't appear to be serious about any of the girls.

    0
    0
  • The smoke proved to be too much for Adrienne and two other girls, so they decided to walk each other home.

    0
    0
  • Don't you girls know how dangerous it is to be walking at night around here?

    0
    0
  • If there's one thing he can't stand, it must be an independent female.

    0
    0
  • That could be attributed greatly to the fact that she had avoided any relationships.

    0
    0
  • Now that the truth was out, maybe it wouldn't be so difficult to live in the same apartment now.

    0
    0
  • Since they were scheduled to be too late for supper that day, it was a good excuse to eat out together.

    0
    0
  • Wherever they went, they were likely to be interrupted.

    0
    0
  • Then, there would be the cost of the wedding - and what about finals?

    0
    0
  • It's kind of small, but the rent isn't too bad, and it'll be available by then.

    0
    0
  • All her plans were about to blow up – all this because she had allowed herself to be drawn into a relationship.

    0
    0
  • We should be congratulating them.

    0
    0
  • Could all this be happening to her?

    0
    0
  • With planning and diligence, his business would be on its feet in a few years and she would be working in the pediatric ward at the hospital.

    0
    0
  • It took planning and perseverance to be successful.

    0
    0
  • If he thinks I might be up today, he'll insist on staying home so he won't miss me.

    0
    0
  • In the last few weeks she had allowed herself to be distracted.

    0
    0
  • Would it be such an imposition to take just one day off to go see my parents?

    0
    0
  • This thing happens to be very important to me.

    0
    0
  • I'll be right up.

    0
    0
  • Something had to be done before he got them both killed.

    0
    0
  • If the driver was hurt, she might be able to help.

    0
    0
  • You go ahead, but be careful.

    0
    0
  • Then she would be engulfed by another convulsive sob.

    0
    0
  • Nobody wanted this to happen, but don't let his death be a complete loss.

    0
    0
  • It should be done now, but... maybe an hour?

    0
    0
  • Time to be with his mother, and time to get over his father's death.

    0
    0
  • If you need anything, be sure to call me.

    0
    0
  • I wanted to stay, but I thought you wanted to be alone with your mother.

    0
    0
  • When Julie & Rachel returned, she told them that Brandon would be out at the ranch for a while.

    0
    0
  • You can be a cold fish, sometimes.

    0
    0
  • A few years from now, he'll be regretting this.

    0
    0
  • No, he'd be back, and he'd finish his schooling.

    0
    0
  • She delved into her work, wishing that Brandon could be there.

    0
    0
  • Brandon still wasn't sure when he would be able to leave the ranch.

    0
    0
  • Your mother seems to be under the impression that you want to stay here - permanently.

    0
    0
  • Life was empty without him and no one seemed to be anxious to replace him - especially her parents.

    0
    0
  • In such a small town, there couldn't be many positions, and the pay wouldn't come close to what she was making in Tulsa.

    0
    0
  • She'd be willing to take a job someplace else.

    0
    0
  • Surely she couldn't be expected to commute that kind of distance on a regular basis.

    0
    0
  • Of course, once she had convinced everyone else what a foolish move it would be, how was she going to convince herself that she didn't need Brandon in her life?

    0
    0
  • Rachel raised a brow and for a moment, Adrienne thought there would be a lecture.

    0
    0
  • There had to be a hitch.

    0
    0
  • Wouldn't it be foolish to abandon the carefully laid plans that had helped her achieve her goals in the first place?

    0
    0
  • She might be getting over him, but the idea of running into him in town was particularly disturbing.

    0
    0
  • Generally speaking, if something sounded too good to be true, it usually was.

    0
    0
  • She'd be willing to bet the woman was as hard nosed in her sleep.

    0
    0
  • She knew some students like that, but none would be found in their apartment.

    0
    0
  • Life sometimes got in the way of their goals, but they learned to be resilient.

    0
    0
  • Still, her stomach would be tied in a knot until she was sure it wasn't her father.

    0
    0
  • A woman your age ought to be looking for a husband – or already married, not chasing all over creation in pants, trying to act like a man.

    0
    0
  • Men get ideas when their wives are at home trying to be everything a man expects of them.

    0
    0
  • She ignored his implication that women should be punished like children.

    0
    0
  • Cassie, a woman as good looking as you should be used to saying no.

    0
    0
  • If we all treated you like one of the guys, wouldn't you be a little disappointed?

    0
    0
  • If any one of you lays a hand on her, you'll be answering to me.

    0
    0
  • You and Fritz are both old enough to be her father.

    0
    0
  • He's going to be ridin' with us to Ashley.

    0
    0
  • Tammy and Timmy would be thirteen this fall.

    0
    0
  • Before long they would be grown.

    0
    0
  • What would the cavalry be doing out here?

    0
    0
  • We'll be leaving you now.

    0
    0
  • It wouldn't hurt to be watchful, though.

    0
    0
  • You don't be wandering away from the wagons.

    0
    0
  • She watched him climb stiffly into his wagon and knew a moment of sadness when she remembered that before long she would be leaving and she would never see him again.

    0
    0
  • You used to be in the army?

    0
    0
  • This was one trip that wouldn't be boring.

    0
    0
  • Something about his flippant answer made her think he would be a master at verbal fencing.

    0
    0
  • Much as she enjoyed watching them eat crow for desert, she knew their shame would be forgotten by suppertime.

    0
    0
  • It would be nice to get away from the wagons for a while.

    0
    0
  • It would be a shame to ruin those beautiful eyes with this sun.

    0
    0
  • It must be fun to be able to ride all around freely while we're stuck in our wagons.

    0
    0
  • And you'll need to be alert.

    0
    0
  • They would probably be leaving very soon and anything she could do to hurry the process meant they would get to Ashley sooner.

    0
    0
  • I just want to be on my way.

    0
    0
  • Pete will be out of his mind with worry.

    0
    0
  • Yes, Davis will be worried.

    0
    0
  • Nothing has been going on that you wouldn't be welcome to watch.

    0
    0
  • They had given up, deciding that if they hadn't found their bodies, they must still be alive and would find their way back to Ashley.

    0
    0
  • Even Bordeaux seemed to be in good spirits.

    0
    0
  • Accepting his proposal of marriage might be setting her up for a fall, but declining was surely something she would live to regret.

    0
    0
  • We used to be so close.

    0
    0
  • It can be that way again.

    0
    0
  • It wasn't that I didn't want to be associated with you, I just wasn't mature enough to take on the responsibility.

    0
    0
  • Then he'll be taking off.

    0
    0
  • This might be the last time we see each other.

    0
    0
  • He had known her for a long time, and he had come to Ashley hoping she would be here.

    0
    0
  • No, it wouldn't be right.

    0
    0
  • She raced up the steps, wondering if men who could not be trusted would plague her entire life.

    0
    0
  • In her present frame of mind, facing her father would be easy.

    0
    0
  • How could she have fallen in love with Bordeaux, knowing how unfaithful men could be?

    0
    0
  • I'm sure the company will be better, too.

    0
    0
  • Why would they be jealous?

    0
    0
  • As for the ranch, she had always known it could be taken away.

    0
    0
  • Would Bordeaux be there?

    0
    0
  • No, I won't be that long.

    0
    0
  • Be careful how you talk about my sister.

    0
    0
  • They looked enough alike to be twins.

    0
    0
  • In fact, they appeared to be hanging on her every word – waiting impatiently for the answer.

    0
    0
  • I never would have believed a woman could be so kind hearted and so suspicious at the same time.

    0
    0
  • Cassie, your father should be the one to tell you this, but since you're not likely to give him the chance, I'll tell you.

    0
    0
  • That would explain why he couldn't be found.

    0
    0
  • Yeah. Now that you caught her, it will be even harder to train her.

    0
    0
  • She was home again, and it would be even better than she had imagined.

    0
    0
  • The twins would be close, and that was something good that came of his return.

    0
    0
  • On the positive side, at that rate their conversation should be over by five minutes after nine.

    0
    0
  • She waited for him to open the conversation, idly wondering if it would be ten before he spoke.

    0
    0
  • You'd be happier taking care of a rambling old house in the middle of nowhere?

    0
    0
  • So looking after a rambling old house could be an ambition?

    0
    0
  • Would you be interested in minding my place?

    0
    0
  • I don't know what kind of wages you draw here, but I'd be willing to pay you a hundred a week plus room and board.

    0
    0
  • Was it merely coincidence that her lease would be up next Friday and the landlord was raising the rent?

    0
    0
  • I'll be in at twelve.

    0
    0
  • Sandwiches will be fine today.

    0
    0
  • Would she be invited along, or would she be expected to stay on the ranch?

    0
    0
  • The sun will be up soon.

    0
    0
  • He had made his choice - suggesting something else would be rude.

    0
    0
  • This would be a good place to come to relax, though - when the weather warmed.

    0
    0
  • Such beautiful things should be displayed in the rooms downstairs.

    0
    0
  • She knew that when she accepted the job so any complaint at this point would be out of line.

    0
    0
  • Would they be snowed in for a week now?

    0
    0
  • I'll try not to be so inquisitive.

    0
    0
  • Working for Cade might not be as dull as she had first thought.

    0
    0
  • The inside of her legs were so sore that walking might be more comfortable.

    0
    0
  • I'll be fine after we rest for a little bit.

    0
    0
  • Tomorrow would be another day at the house, and she intended to enjoy every minute of this day with Cade.

    0
    0
  • Of course, it would be more profitable for the ranch if I culled those animals by taking them to the slaughter house.

    0
    0
  • I guess I'm judging you by what I'd be doing in your shoes.

    0
    0
  • What will it be a month from now?

    0
    0
  • 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.

    0
    0
  • Was it normal to have sudden flashing questions like... what would it be like to kiss him?

    0
    0
  • You know, this house wouldn't be as cold if there were some curtains on the window and some rugs on the floor.

    0
    0
  • If you use the right colors, and brighten the walls with a few large pictures, or some mirrors, it wouldn't be so dark.

    0
    0
  • Handing out compliments seemed to be out of character for him, but hadn't he always been honest and direct?

    0
    0
  • That would be nice.

    0
    0
  • Of course - but it would be expensive.

    0
    0
  • Mary, on the other hand, was vocal about her opinion of Cade, even to the point of stating that he would be the greatest catch of the century - no doubt, even an exaggeration in Mary's mind.

    0
    0
  • I don't know if you realize how expensive it would be.

    0
    0
  • I mean, there would be the cost of drapes, rugs, pictures and other things.

    0
    0
  • Of course, if you think it would be too much work... you'll only have two weeks.

    0
    0
  • No, that should be plenty of time.

    0
    0
  • This might be a good time to ask.

    0
    0
  • I think it would be a good idea if I moved upstairs.

    0
    0
  • I mean, it might be hurtful for your sister to see me using your mothers' things.

    0
    0
  • I think it would be fun to redecorate the family room.

    0
    0
  • Between the two of us we ought to be able to carry them down to that room.

    0
    0
  • It will be worth the investment.

    0
    0
  • She wondered what would be worth the investment, but didn't want to wind up in the middle of a feud.

    0
    0
  • But it would be nice to know you had a way to get out and do things without fear of taking the only vehicle.

    0
    0
  • That's a fine thing to be telling me while you're working on my truck.

    0
    0
  • And anyway, Cade definitely isn't romantically interested in me, so there's absolutely nothing to be concerned about.

    0
    0
  • Claudette has no reason to be concerned about Mrs. Cade's furniture.

    0
    0
  • It would be nice to know she could leave the ranch at will without leaving Cade afoot, but she doubted if she would be driving to town soon.

    0
    0
  • For a while she was going to be far too busy.

    0
    0
  • But it wouldn't be proper.

    0
    0
  • Could it be that his stoic personality was the very thing that kept her interest perked?

    0
    0
  • She wasn't going to be able to sleep any more.

    0
    0
  • He'll limp around for a week or so and then he'll be fine.

    0
    0
  • Oh, she can't be that bad.

    0
    0
  • It would be disrespectful of Cade for her to do anything but defend his honor.

    0
    0
  • You'd like to be his housekeeper all right - and more, I suspect.

    0
    0
  • Any denial would be immediately detected as a lie, anyway.

    0
    0
  • At any rate, Mr. Cade seems to be happy with his lifestyle.

    0
    0
  • If she confirmed that Cade was unresponsive she would be as much as endorsing an ugly rumor.

    0
    0
  • As the hired help, she was supposed to be supportive of Cade without upsetting Claudette.

    0
    0
  • Tomorrow they would be leaving, and it couldn't come fast enough.

    0
    0
  • Did Cade even know how to be romantic?

    0
    0
  • This time there would be no holding back.

    0
    0
  • You wouldn't be so lonely there.

    0
    0
  • It's inevitable that two people living in the same house are going to be at odds sometimes, but from now on I'll never feel completely safe.

    0
    0
  • I didn't mean for it to be that way.

    0
    0
  • In fact, tortured would be a better description.

    0
    0
  • If you think you'd be happier with Claudette, I won't stand in your way, but I want to make it clear that I don't want you to go.

    0
    0
  • You're the best friend I've ever had and things around here could never be the same without you.

    0
    0
  • I'll be back as soon as I can.

    0
    0
  • Cade probably wouldn't be the least bit intimidated by the task, though.

    0
    0
  • Cade knew how to be a friend, even if he didn't know what to say.

    0
    0
  • Chauvinistic, no doubt, but it was kind of nice to be looked after.

    0
    0
  • Why would he be upset with Mary for paying them a visit?

    0
    0
  • You must be feeling better, Cynthia.

    0
    0
  • Hopefully Mary wouldn't be too angry with him.
