“You pick a seat and I’ll clear the spot by giving them my scary Indian face.”
“I like your scary Indian face, it’s sexy.”
Before they could knock on the door, it opened.
“Welcome, we saw you drive up! Kota, it’s good to see you again.” Steve Black opened the door and took the cake. “Come in. I’m sure you know everyone.”
“Myra needs a soft seat; her bursitis is acting up.”
“It is not!” She whispered a little too loudly. “I told you it’s my knee from falling out of bed when we…”
“How about on the couch?” Debbie Black offered, a little amused at the antics of the older couple. “Make yourself comfortable, I’ll get you both some coffee.”
After speaking to everyone, Kota joined Myra on the couch. “What are you looking at?”
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. Look.” She showed him the beautiful cover of an oversize coffee table book.
“Huh.” Kota put on his glasses. “A Glimpse into the Old West, A Collection of Photographs by famed photographer, Cole Black.”
With a shaking hand, Myra opened the cover to see sights she would’ve never anticipated in a million years. Some of them were nature shots, like Enchanted Rock back in the day. Some of them captured beautiful wildlife – a herd of buffalo, a pack of grey wolves. Still, there were others than made her heart tremble in her chest. “Look, can you believe this?”
Kota leaned forward to see a photograph of a group of people on Packsaddle Mountain. Survivors of the Great Flood of 1869. Ha! There’s Reno. And there’s Journey!”
Myra laughed with delight. “Oh, look there’s more.” She saw a picture of their wedding. A picture of their first Christmas. And on and on. But the best photograph of all was the last one, for it showed Cole and his wife, Cocheta, standing next to Reno and his wife, Journey – and both couples were completely surrounded by a host of children and grandchildren.”
“I think I’m going to cry,” Myra said softly, wiping her cheek.
At that moment, Steve Black returned with two cups of coffee. “How do you like that book? I don’t know who most of those people are, but I’m related to the photographer, Cole Black. When they put together this collection of his work, I knew we just had to have a copy.”
“His work is lovely.” Myra swallowed back her tears. “Where could we buy one?”
“I’m sure any bookstore could order it for you, but I’ll get the address of the publishing company for you, how about that?”
“Thank you.” As Cole’s descendant walked away, Myra moved her finger across the image of Journey’s face. “Just look at her, Kota. Our Journey lived to have a fine, beautiful family.”
“Yes, she did. Reno looks mighty proud.” He put an arm around Myra and kissed her on the cheek.” Just goes to show you…what’s meant to be is meant to be – no matter what.”
NOTE FROM AUTHOR: I hope you enjoyed Journey and Reno’s story. I had a blast writing it. Watch for more of their antics in the upcoming Wild West Books.
Also be aware that many of the other characters in this story have books of their own. Not only King’s Fancy in the Wild West Series, but also in the Cowboy Craze Series and the Hell Yeah Series. You are invited to check out the master list at the end of this manuscript.
Also, you might be interested to know that the recipes for the essential oil concoctions are all real recipes that I make and use personally.
Thank you, Sable Hunter
