He shook with weakness, but managed to step away. What did she see when she looked at him? What did she think of the worn clothes and his four guns? Of the bounty hunter dead at his feet? Of the child he couldn't provide for? What did she see?
He grabbed the dead body by one ankle, opened the back door, and tugged him outside into the black howling storm. The wind's force nearly knocked him to his knees. Luke gritted his teeth and kept going. But not the frigid temperatures or the brutal wind could drive the despair from his heart. He was a wanted man, and the next time a bounty hunter fired on him, Luke knew he might not be lucky.
He had no future, but for Beth's sake he would make peace with the woman inside the house, haloed with lamplight, frightened and alone. He was at her mercy for his daughter's safety until the blizzard blew out and he was on the run again.
