Wade was going to have cattle. Real cattle, bought and paid for. The start of a herd that would hopefully give her brother’s life a focus, and a sense of purpose and meaning. “Funny how things work out, huh?” Todd looked at her, but Nora tried not to meet his eyes for too long. Even after her reality check last night, they still did funny things to her spine. Ugh. She had to stop thinking about stuff like that. He wasn’t for her. He was just a random piece of the past. She had to stay in the present. “It is strange. When I left here, I swore I’d never have cattle again as long as I lived.” “I guess we can’t know what will happen.” Todd was saddling up one of the mustangs he’d brought over. Abby was a beautiful buckskin mare with a gorgeous full black mane and tail. Nora was drawn to the little horse, wanting to be the one to ride her when they moved the cattle. But she hadn’t ridden in years.
