Оглавление“You can tell me one of your stories while I lay the corner timbers.”
“You want to hear one of my stories?”
Snapping the reins, Clint set the horse to a gentle trot toward the spot a bit outside of town where Katrine and her brother had staked their claim. “I like your stories.”
She laughed. “Lars thinks you find them silly.”
“They are.” Clint laughed right along. “Some of ’em, at least. But there’s a place for silly. We’ve got all the serious we need, and then some.”
She eyed him, head cocked to one side. “Sheriff Thornton, you surprise me.”
“I think we can dispense with the ‘Sheriff Thornton,’ don’t you? You can call me Clint.”
“Well, then, I suppose you may call me Katrine.”
She offered a shy smile. The breeze sent strands of her hair playing across her cheeks. It looked like spun sunshine to him—not that he’d ever say such a thing to her face. Clint swallowed hard and turned his eyes to the path. “Thank you kindly, Katrine,” he said. “I’ll do that.”
