Asher

His fury simmered overnight. He’d never been quick to anger, he was level-headed, and calm under pressure, which had made him a sought after sniper in the Army. His anger was taking over now. He’d left Maggie to sleep, and sat up half the night wrestling with the story she’d told him.

She wanted to leave Two Bear Meadow because of what Lorelei had said to her. Asher was aware that he’d only known her for a few days, yet telling the doctor they were engaged had come naturally, whereas it had taken him nine years to propose to Lorelei. Was it because he’d felt that it was the natural progression, or because he actually wanted to marry her? He didn’t know, but he knew he wasn’t going to let Maggie just leave.

He was invested in seeing where their relationship was going. He was invested in Melody. Even his father had called her family in the hospital, and that told him enough. His whole family had gone to the hospital after they’d met Maggie once, his brothers having been around her

    AsherAsher walked up the steps of the porch and halted in the living room. Seeing Maggie was on the couch, he frowned. “How did you get down here?”“Colt popped in around nine, and carried me down,” Maggie said. Her voice sounded different, and she wasn’t really looking at him.“What’s wrong?”“Nothing,” Maggie said. Asher looked around the living room, but the walker was empty. “Melody’s taking a nap. Eden just went up to put her down.”Asher looked out the window, and sighed. The bur oak tree was visible from where Maggie sat, so she’d obviously seen him and Lorelei sitting there. He sat down next to her and placed the book on the table.“Lorelei was here earlier,” he said.“I saw,” Maggie said, nodding her head.Asher looked intently at her. Was that jealousy he detected? He didn’t like it. He was a trustworthy person, and she had no reason to be jealous. It was true that she didn’t know him that well, so he would explain, but only once.“You saw me and Lorelei,” he said, softly.

    Asher“Keep the rope steady!” Asher yelled at one of the ranch hands, as he rode closer to him. “The moment you give slack, you tell the horse he’s in charge.”“He’s a feisty one; if you pull too tight, he starts bucking,” Theo, the hand, replied.“Blair hasn’t broken him in yet?”Theo shook his head, and grinned. “He tried a few times to get a saddle on him. That horse bucked so hard, Blair cracked a few ribs. He hasn’t tried again; it’s been about three weeks now.”Asher looked at the young stallion, breathing hard through his nose. His ears flicked, and he snorted, stomping one hoof on the ground. He got off his own horse slowly, giving the reins to Theo. “Back out slowly, and take One Star back to his stall. Rub him down, and give him an apple.” Asher said all that in a low voice, never taking his eyes off the stallion.“Easy, boy,” Asher said, as he took a step closer to him. The horse snorted again, and flicked his mane. The horse neighed, and lifted his front legs, standing on

    MaggieEden narrowed her eyes slightly. “Why? Do you light up when you see Asher, too?”Maggie’s cheeks heated, and she chuckled nervously. “My head says everything’s happening too fast, but my heart beats faster whenever I see him.”“There’s no such thing as too fast if it’s right,” Eden said, smiling. “And before you say anything, this is right. Asher doesn’t do anything on a whim. He follows his gut, saying it kept him alive overseas.”“So you think the fact that I’m living in his house and he’s basically taking care of us is a good thing?”“Yeah, why wouldn’t I? You know when the doctor came out, and asked for your family…the first thing Daddy said was that we were your family, and then Asher told them you were engaged. He’d never just do that; the doctor would’ve told him even if he hadn’t said a word.”“Engaged! He told me he mentioned that I was his girlfriend!”Eden laughed loudly. “No. He actually used the word engaged. That’s why the brigade will keep showing up for a few mo

    MaggieA loud groan woke her up, and she shifted on the bed. She was still groggy from the painkillers she’d taken earlier, but then she heard Asher in his room.“Guloona, wadrega! Wadrega!” She frowned and shifted her feet to the floor. Her crutches weren’t too far away, so she shuffled until she reached them. “Matah pistaul rakra.” He mumbled something else she couldn’t make out as she stepped into the hallway.His door was open, as was hers, and she moved slowly toward his room. His curtains were open, and the moonlight provided enough illumination for her to see him. He was asleep, but his hands were gripping the sheets beneath him. “Don’t make me shoot you!” His voice held anguish, sounding like he was in pain.Once Maggie had made it to the edge of his bed, she sat down, and lowered the crutches to the floor. She wasn’t sure if she should wake him. She placed her hand over his fist and rubbed his knuckles. “Asher.” His hand flattened against the sheet before gripping her hand in

    Asher“Do you want me to bring some dinner down for you guys?” Eden asked, as she stared at their joined hands.The crunch of gravel had their heads turning toward the front door, and Asher grinned. “I believe that’s the first of the church brigade. I ran into Pastor Mitchells this morning.”“Oh?”“What does that mean?” Maggie frowned, as she asked.“It means that half the town already knows you were in an accident, and staying here, so they will bring food,” Eden said.A car door slammed, and Asher stood up. He opened the screened porch door and took the cardboard box from Lauretta Hastings. He could smell the fresh pastries inside, and he fought the smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Hastings.”“Not a problem, my dear, Asher. When I heard about poor Maggie’s accident, I knew I couldn’t rest before I brought you all something.”“That’s very kind of you,” Asher said. “Eden and Maggie are in the living room. You can go right on through, and I’ll be back with some sweet tea.”He winked at Maggie,
