                                                                             Conclusion

Jesse’ and Beth stayed for a few weeks…Mary had won over Matt ad-version to her wanting to stay in Dodge and not go back to school… a few short months later Frank and His Wife had relocated to Kansas  Frankie and Mary continued to see one another.. getting closer.    And within the next year… were married. And a few short months after that.. Delivered the news to their families that… a new Dillon/Reardon  Would be Born!      This was the first of the two Son’s Frank and Mary would have.

Late night after …closing up and Matt was out on his rounds…. Kitty , soaked in a Hot Tub.. went through here usual ritual… slip into a silk nightgown.. sat at her vanity … staring. .at the reflection, of a woman she wasn’t sure she even recognize…where once a slender woman sat was now a fuller more filled out Woman!
Maybe not as firm as she use to be… where there use to be…tight taunt skin were now fine lines and creases… and where there was once very vibrant Red hair… Now more Golden…with thin streaks of White..     Was this still the Woman that all those years ago got off a stage just down the street… Cold, tired, miserable and Hungry?   That once could turn the heads of so many men with out even a thought?
But really only cared about turning the Head of ONE?…  She could make his Heart skip. .so he said.
I know he made Hers…He still does after all these years!    Deep in thought.. She never heard.. the door

He Placed his Stetson in it usual place .., his gun belt on it ‘s peg…removed his boots…. Then leaned against the door frame…staring at the Vision.. that stole his Heart…so many years ago!   He still questioned
Why ?..Why she every stuck around…?   After everything his Job and his Life.. put them through….
How can this Woman love Me?    But, I’m thrilled she Does!    Slowly, he walked up behind her…
Sliding in.. on the bench seat ..wrapping his large legs to the side of hers….sliding both large hands down her arms….   She laid her head back resting on his chest….. “Hello Cowboy”   ..Hello Beautiful lady!
Gently he brushed her hair to the side…Kissing her neck…Ummmmmm!   Feels Good….
Does does it.?   Uh huh…. Well let me see…then he worked his way to the back of her  neck… sliding the gown off her shoulders…Ohhhh Cowboy!     Are you trying to seduce me?…shhhh uh huh….   Giggling…
She began to lift up…he lifted with her…as they stood.. The gown dropped…he lifted her straight up running his tongue down her spine…and back up…getting a chill.. she turned.. Oh.. Cowboy !
Good …This side too…he lifted her again.. doing the same thing…..Mattt!    As he let her Down…
He covered her mouth with his…Kissing her soft tender lip …passionately…. Kit…You are more Beautiful….  Cowboy?….I.. I…Shhhhhh Show Me Honey …. Show Me!

He carried her to their Bed… they spent the rest of the night …completely entwined…One Mind ,One Body, One Heart, One Soul…no evidence.. Of where one  or the other Began or ended!   

They remained entwined…in the early hour of the morning… Cowboy?.. ummm?  You have no regrets do you?… ummm?   Regrets?   Oh, Not a One…  You? Never!   I understand Why you felt the way you did before.. but it didn’t work your way… My way wasn’t perfect..either.. But together.. We “Always” work through whatever we need to …and we’re stronger for it…   You ,Me our Girls…  whatever we have to do…..for a moment they were both quiet…then they rolled to face one another.. Cuddled closer as that was possible..?….. Then together…. …. With a smile… they Kissed…then in unison  “Always”
