| Page 307 The Way West (1955)hadn't made a way to see her again, not but just
one time after Laramie, which seemed so long ago it was something
on the edge of dreams and she wouldn't think that it was real except
that her stomach churned and her time was past. But still he was
with her. Still she took him to bed at night and got up with him
in the morning and traveled with him by day, her hands pushing
back the black lock of his hair and smoothing the trouble from
his face. And it wasn't body-hunger for him and never had been
much, but just the wanting to find strength and kindness in him
and to give them back. She watched for him in camp and along the
trail, watched for the frowned face and the quick way of him, acting
as if she wasn't watching. Sometimes when their eyes met, he would
smile or say hello, and she wondered, seeing him so common, did
he remember? Did he hold the secret and was it dear? Did he cry
for her inside? |
