We had things to say, but first we needed time to think on what had just happened. There was a creek about a mile from town, and we turned and followed it. We found a nice sheltered spot, and we dismounted, picketed our horses, and made camp. Brian built a fire while I filled our coffee pot with water from the creek, and then we sat around the fire and watched the coffee boil. Soon as it was ready we filled our cups and leaned back. We still didn’t talk. Instead, we just sat there and drank coffee with brooding faces. Brian finally looked at me and cleared his throat. “Well, I sure didn’t see that coming.” I nodded in agreement. “Are you all right?” Brian studied me. “I’m just enjoying my usual twilight sadness, is all.” Brian smiled faintly. He took a swig of coffee and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
