And this time, he felt capable of doing it with his bare hands. Sitting at Alice’s bedside, waiting for her to wake up, he imagined his hands closing around Ralston’s throat and popping his Adam’s apple like a chicken egg.

Ralston knew of the water hazard and had led his horse from right to left to avoid being mired in it. He certainly should have anticipated that someone following him closely would have had no ability to react in time. Now Alice, lovely Alice, was paying the price. Logan insisted on staying by Alice’s side, only leaving to allow her sister to be alone with her for a short time and for the doctor’s examination before pleading to be let back into the room. On her own, Alice had moved her hand once her attendants were through changing her for the doctor’s examination.
