"Grandpa was a good judge of men. He wouldn’t have hooked up with you, if he hadn’t thought you were worthwhile. He told me, when we were leaving the inn, to stick to you. I’m sticking,” Eden said.
“I want a woman who’ll stick.”
She pressed up against me. “Like glue,” she said. “No room for anyone else.” She sent my senses shootin’ off in all directions.
“Exceptin’ me,” said Toby, from the wagon.
“Go to sleep,” I told him, brought back to earth right sudden-like. “You’ll be included. In the family, just not in our marriage.”
I took Eden’s hand and led her away from the wagon, over to where the General was a’grazing. “That boy has ears nigh as big as the General’s. We’ll do well to remember that,” I said, getting another kiss. They could be habit forming.

“Right.”
We spent a few moments just kissing. Quiet women are very capable of making their feelings known.
