Jaime rode into town with his letters and a heavy heart. There were several worries on his mind that he tried to work out as he rode through the Oregon country side.
Henry said writing to the agency was wrong, well without James’ knowledge. But it doesn’t look like his brother is going to be falling out of love with Abby anytime soon. As Jaime had told James he could see the attraction.
Abby was a good woman, and sadly they were few and far between in these parts. The women Jaime knew were more like Sarah, or Caroline Jonathan’s first wife. Or his sweetheart Heather. Who played him for a fool, and all he got to show for it was a broken heart. Sadly the only thing the Smith brothers have in common is our crappy luck in picking out women.
That’s why I’m going to have the mail order brid
