A Match For Colt – Susan Horsnell (1)

While she threw…Yes, threw…everything into the basket, I hitched up Ginny, who seemed confused by our leaving so soon after arriving. When I took my horses out, they were used to roaming free for hours while I read a book or dozed in the sun. I called out to Veronica when we were ready to leave.

She stomped her way to the buggy, placed the basket and blanket in the back, and clambered up onto the seat after refusing my offer of help. The ride back to town was in silence but tension and anger crackled between us. I was annoyed that she was being unreasonable, passing judgement on a situation she knew only a little about. It was best though to leave well enough alone.

I’d barely drawn Ginny to a stop before Veronica jumped down, snatched up the basket and blanket, and without saying a word, she marched to the door of the boarding house, disappearing inside. Her slamming of the door caused the windows to rattle, and I sighed. “That didn’t go well, Ginny.

Maybe I’m destined to remain single because I ain’t going through a tongue lashing like that again.” The horse snorted as I turned her toward the livery, and she plodded up the street like she had so many times before. Tom stood out on the street, talking with Dallas, the undertaker, and the pair watched as I approached. I pulled Ginny to a stop and Tom gathered her reins from my hands before I climbed down and joined the two men.

“Things went that bad, huh?” Tom raised an eyebrow in question. “You have no idea.” I addressed Dallas. “Take my advice, Dallas, don’t send for a bride no matter who says you should.” Dallas laughed and slapped my shoulder. “I won’t be doing so anytime soon I can assure you. I’ll leave you to your business, I have a body to get back to.” Tom and I watched Dallas cross the street to his office before taking care of Ginny and the buggy together.

When I began losing my balance, she steadied me with a hand on my arm and held firm. I promptly burst into tears, the upset of the past minutes finally breaking free.

I sat at the wooden desk in the office of my home, pausing to gather my thoughts while roaming my eyes over the scratches and indentations that had been inflicted on the desktop over the decades since I’d begun my matchmaking business. My, what stories they could tell if only they were able to speak. Recently, the agency had officially closed when I had suffered a serious stroke.
