Supper would be a ways off, but the ride east would take some time, but of course that was not her plan, not at all. She had he cap set on the Town Marshal of Kalispell, and that was all there was too it. Yes it had been years since she had last sen him, but this was the west, both were single and she was not getting any younger, while her father was getting older.

She had the ranch, but no way of making ends meet. Although not her primary reason for pursuing Speed Guyer, it was a part of it. She had been drawn to him initially, even though she was married, and to find him again now that she was widowed was indeed fortuitous. The times they lived in, women owning anything was uncommon. Women running a ranch, even more uncommon. So, there it was, there was no question of what would she do had she not been reunited, so to speak, with him. No, it seemed he was of the same mind set. He had said as much, therefor it was not about trapping him, far from it, it was about nurturing the relationship to it's fruition, whether he was the Marshall, or running his mining business.

"Well, as they say, we're burning daylight, Guyer. You ready to go?" She asked.

"Yes Ma'am." He replied, getting to his feet, digging out a silver dollar and laying it on the table. "After you."
