- Maggie studied the newcomer through the blind of ripened
summer wheat. The sun was glinting amid a backdrop of dark blue sky,
emphasizing the stranger vividly through the distance.
-
- She assumed he was at the ranch to barter for the wheat
as the other ranchers from the plains had done for the past months. Rain
had fallen generously here in the valley, but most of the other areas in
the state had suffered substantially by the drought.
-
- Maggie shifted her feet uneasily and stomped off a line
of fire ants that had traveled up to the rim of her brown dingo boots. After
silently cursing the determined little creatures, her attention soon fell
to the stranger again.
-
- He was interesting, she swiftly decided. Very few
younger men entered this strip of desolate country; generally the visitors
were cultured old cowboys and obese businessmen.
-
- The stranger’s voice carried with the supple southerly
breeze and she perked her ears with great effort to hear him speak to Raul,
one of her father’s farm workers. The stranger was communicating in
English and Raul was suffering greatly, his dialogue broken and his words
coming out in muffled tones as he attempted a response.
-
- Raul’s dark troubled eyes relaxed when he caught sight
of her. Immediately, he beckoned Maggie in a strong volley of Spanish.
She tensed, wishing Raul didn’t have such keen eyesight. She
was enjoying her seclusion amid the wheat.
-
- She stepped out and walked slowly to them, the stranger’s
eyes curiously running over her small form as she had exited from her hiding
place. Obviously, he knew she had been watching in silence and she
was acutely aware of his slow, deliberate gaze that spanned over her curved
form. She felt like a tethered goat.
