The fiesta day had been a long one and still was not over. But all in all, it had run smoothly so far -- which was what Simon had wanted, and expected, when he had put her in charge of the hacienda. If only she could get through the evening's festivities without incurring one of his black looks. What was it about her and Simon that made them seem like two wary cocks -- ever ready to fight but restraining themselves for the moment? Would that moment come? God help her then, for Simon Reyes would be a foe to reckon with. But then, so was she, and she would yet have her revenge on the man. Patience ... patience, a voice inside her whispered. Your chance to vindicate that night will come. The sounds of guitars and trumpets and violins tuning up floated through the hacienda, and Kathleen realized she would have to hurry. Quickly she stepped from the hip tub, and, taking the large towel Amelia handed her, dried her peach-hued skin before slipping into a satin chemise. Over this she pulled a white satin gown with puffed sleeves and a scooped neckline.
