“A cup of coffee would be nice, woman.” He gave her a friendly tap on the bottom.
She stepped over to the stove. “I’ll have a weak one with you.” She was careful what she drank because of her milk, mainly partaking of tea like Mrs. Holbery, although not as often. The dear lady had gone out to California to live with her daughter and was now looking forward to the birth of another grandchild according to her last letter. Tilly was pleased for her. She deserved a good life away from the nastiness of Coyote Crossing.
“I fixed the room up for Reverend Egan.”
“You should have waited until I was here to help you. He isn’t coming until tomorrow.”
“I know, but I’m so excited that he agreed to come and stay for a few days and baptize Ethan while he was here.”
She had corresponded regularly with the old man who had become a dear friend. He was an honorary grandfather to both Ethan and Daisy, while Hank was their honorary uncle.
“We are very lucky, Brodie. We’ve been blessed.”
“I know. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought my advertisement in the paper would bring me such happiness.”
Fate and the hand of God had combined to deliver her here. And she would be forever grateful.
The End.

About the Author:
Margaret Tanner is an award winning, bestselling Australian author, who mainly writes Historical Romance and Historical Western Romance. She loves delving into the pages of history as she carries out research for her novels. No internet site is too boring, no book is too old or tattered for her to trawl through, no museum too dusty.
Her love of Westerns came about because of the movies and TV shows of her childhood. Some of her favorites were Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Wagon Train, and Little House on The Prairie.
Many of her novels have been inspired by true events, with one being written around the hardships and triumphs of her pioneering ancestors. She once spent a couple of hours in an old prison cell so she could feel the chilling cold and fear.
Apart from her family and friends, writing is her passion.
Margaret is married with three grown up sons and two gorgeous little granddaughters.
