Оглавление“If Sarita were to marry, I’d give the land as a dowry.”
Anger coursed through Wolf at Santa’s grandfather’s statement. Wolf stood on one side of the old man, and his competition for the land—a smooth-talking lawyer—stood on the other. “Sarita’s not going to take kindly to you ‘buying’ her a husband,” Wolf said.
“Then I suggest we don’t tell her,” the old man said. “If either of you breathes a word of this to Sarita, I’ll sell the land to whoever didn’t.”
“I’ll keep the secret,” the lawyer said. “I’d best be on my way, since I have some courting to do. Your granddaughter is a fine-looking woman,” he added on his way out.
“If you want that land, Wolf, I suggest you go do some courting yourself,” the old man said. “You have serious competition.”
“I would never consider marrying a woman for a piece of land,” Wolf said. “Besides, Sarita and I are natural-born antagonists.”
The old man simply smiled.
