Drew said. “I know,” Cole said. They had finished their meal and were enjoying coffee and brandy. “I will get my revenge.” “I know that, too.” Cole had had a buckboard waiting outside the arena when they finished their act. The minute they reached the hotel she had stalked off to her room without a word. Once inside with the door locked, she’d paced back and forth, calling Cole every name she’d ever learned from her brothers, calling herself nearly as many for being fool enough to cave in to the pressure and being an even bigger fool to actually consider honoring a promise forced from her. First she decided to stay in her room for the evening, but that made her angry because she was being punished for something Cole had done. Next she decided to wait for Zeke and Hawk before she had dinner. But she wouldn’t put it past Cole to have told them they needn’t bother to return to the hotel until later. In the end she was so full of things she wanted to say to Cole, names she wanted to call him if she lost her temper sufficiently to forget she’d been brought up a lady, she decided to have dinner with him after all.
