situation in a glance. “Let’s get you into my wagon,” he said. “By the time we get back to Cheyenne, the doc will be back and he can get you fixed up good and proper.” He glanced at Summer. “She showed up at the sheriff’s office close to midnight, insisting that we leave then and there to get back here. We finally managed to convince her to rest a while, but she was up and prodding us just before first light.” He laughed. “You got yourself quite a wife there, Mister.”
Beauregard turned from the deputy to Summer and nodded. “That I do, Deputy, that I do.”
Epilogue
Summer laughed as Beau pounded in the last nail, then tossed the hammer aside and did a little jig. He had just spent a good month adding on a small room to the ranch house. A nursery. She rested her hand on her huge belly, her heart filled with love for Beau and their soon-to-arrive offspring.
This was her second spring in Laramie, and they were both excited about the arrival of their first child. Summer had taken a job as a school teacher in town, while Beau continued with his marshal’s duties and overseeing their small herd of cattle. It hadn’t always been easy, but she and Beau had made a good life for themselves out here. She thought back to Martha’s advice and smiled. Yes, honesty was the foundation of trust in any marriage. After surviving the tornado and taking care of Beau as his leg healed, she had told him everything, not only about her first husband and his abandonment of her, but everything about her past. He had done the same.
From there, she and Beau had slowly gotten to know each other. One day, as Summer watched Beau ride up to the house after being gone for several days on business, she had realized she loved him – body, heart, and soul. She didn’t keep her feelings to herself. He had laughed and divulged the same feelings for her. From that moment forward, Summer embraced her new life in Laramie. The following fall, she had been thrilled to tell Beau that new life grew inside her.
They had survived summer’s fury. Her first tornado had not been her last. Since that first tornado, she and Beau had survived several more, taking shelter in the storm cellar of the ranch house. They had endured. Beau’s leg had healed well, and he was strong and healthy. No limp.
Over the past couple of years, she and Beau had forged an unbreakable bond that would last them a lifetime, through life’s struggles and joys. As long as they were together, Summer knew she could withstand anything that life on the prairie handed her. With God’s blessing, she and Beau and their children would enjoy years of happiness. She was convinced of it.
