Excerpt;
April, 1881
“Why, it’s
outrageous!” Cady Delafield said with a laugh.
In the soft glow of the
carriage lantern, she glittered in the familiar way which delighted
Doyle to his very core. He’d missed seeing her bright smiles and
playful attitude absent these past few weeks.
“It’s almost
midnight,” she added and crimped her mouth in mock disapproval, but
failed to mask her teasing. “Surely, Mr. Flanagan, you aren’t
serious about traipsing about in a lumber yard near the docks at this
time of night?”
“It’ll only take a
minute.” Happiness strummed through his body with each hopeful sign
of her recovery from the recent tragic events. She was plucky,
determined and stubborn. But the death of three women and seeing a
man blow his head off left a person altered. He knew this for a fact.
He’d watched the man pull the trigger too.
“Besides.” He dropped
a hand over his chest affecting a bit of melodrama. “Aren’t you
the least bit curious to see where the master potentate, the supreme
leader, the Great Poohbah—”
“Oh, please.” She
thrust up a palm forestalling any more joking. “Great Poohbah,
indeed!”
He chuckled and angled
his long legs on the carriage seat so his knee leaned against hers.
It struck him as unbelievable he’d known her only five weeks. Time
enough to fall in love and fall he did with both feet crashing
through the floor. His familiarity and ease with her made it seem as
if they’d been the best of friends since childhood. Soon, when he
believed the horrific events were behind them, when she no longer
complained of nightmares or jarring flashbacks, when the world was
again solid beneath her feet, he’d propose marriage. The notion
made him smile.
