A Man with a Past Page 24

  “People fail, Cheyenne. All people fail, that’s why we need a Savior. That’s why we need forgiveness. I reckon we’ll both need forgiveness many times before we’re done with this life.” He nodded silently, a tiny movement, thinking it all over. “But we’ll both try and remember to trust.”

  They rode on. Hands joined, heading home.

  “We need to try and reason out when my ma died. So we can make right what Clovis made wrong with that thievin’ will. My past is a little murky.”

  “We’ll get to it, Falcon. We’ll get to everything. But for these few blessed minutes while we’re headed home alone, to a hurting brother and the confusion of our unexpected family, let’s just enjoy the ride.”

  He bent across from his horse to hers and kissed her.

  She returned the kiss, then smiled. Her eyes twinkled. “I’ve never ridden a horse holding hands before, and I’ve sure as certain never been kissed while I was riding.”

  “Neither have I, but I think I could learn to like it.”

  They rode on.

  Falcon wondered if their troubles were finally at an end.

  He wondered if they’d ever know who shot Wyatt.

  He wondered if he owned a third of a ranch or nuthin’.

  But he didn’t wonder about love. He had Cheyenne.
