This was going to be one of them. Carrying his bowl of flan, he ushered Lorenzo and Claudio into his office. He had moved from his office by the horse barn when it became obvious that Toshua needed a place for Eckapeta to stay when she visited, and Paloma needed his help, with her infant cousin and their baby on the way. The house had too many empty rooms, so it made perfect sense to turn an unused bedchamber into an office. It made even more sense because Paloma kept his office tidier than he ever had. He had found her here late this afternoon, looking through his correspondence from the governor and the list and descriptions of missing cattle and horses. He knew from the frown on her face that her discovery hadn’t pleased her at all. Without a word, she pointed to the entry listing three missing horses from Isleta and their brands, the same brand he had noticed on Lorenzo Diaz’s horses tethered outside his own gate. He promised her he would deal with the matter, which didn’t lessen the frown.
