April had arrived with clear skies and anticipation in the air. He’d had two months to work with the boys and he felt they were as ready as they’d ever be. Since Noah was still his best horseman Seth decided to give him the first run. The uncertainty had plagued him all through the night. Rebecca stood on the porch watching as they waited for the Pony Express rider from the east to arrive. Noah sat on his horse looking relaxed and ready to go. Rebecca twisted her apron in her hands, the only indicator that she was nervous. Finally, unable to stand the tension, Seth sprinted up to the porch. Before he changed his mind he blurted out, “I’m going with him.” Rebecca clasped her hands against her heart and pure relief washed over her features. She nodded. It felt good. It was the right thing to do. Seth then turned and ran to the barn for his horse, Sam. He couldn’t let her fuss over the youngest rider and Seth felt certain it would drive him insane not knowing if the boy had made his run without mishap.
