“They Speak Without Words”
Ruby helped Matt get Kitty out of her wet clothes…here Matt.. cover her with these…she handed him some blankets. Sarah is getting me some clean water and rags so I can look at those injuries she has?
What do you think happened to her? I can’t figure it out..?… How do you think she got here? Don’t know that either? Ok, where do you know her from?.. if I may ask. He didn’t answer at first… then…
Oh, Dodge City. We live there. Oh!, I see. Ruby, Kitty is… raising her hand in front of her…Matt, I get it…watching you by the stream and here right now.. I get it….! Hope she knows how Lucky she is…? Matt face slightly turned flush…. I’ll leave you alone for a few minutes…and she turned and left…
As she left the area that they made a make-shift- tent…the three girls were standing outside…Girls Matt needs some time alone…But Ruby? ..Lucy…, Matt is not available!.. take my word for it! How do you know? Oh,.. honey I know…believe me I know! That’s not fair…as she walked away…Lucy.. said.. Ruby probably wants him all for herself?… Tess and Sarah.. looked at her.. Lucy…Ruby’s Old…! What would Matt want with her? Men want young women.. So they can have a family…
Matt sat beside Kitty Holding her hand,…brushing her hair off her face…Kit.. Honey.. it’s me Matt!
Honey, open your eyes?… there’s so much I want…no, need to say to you… Please? Kit…Please?
He kept taking a cool cloth and wiping her face.. then he bent to kiss her.. as he touched his lips to hers
She opened her eyes…slightly jumping…and started to yell…. Kit!.. it’s ok.. Honey it’s me Matt…
Ma..tt?….Ohhhh!.. Matt…? How?.. where did you come from? Smiling ..you came to me…
What? How? That’s not important right now… Honey just rest… No, Matt, I’m Sorry!…
No Honey it’s ok… she tried to sit up…. Ouch!.. don’t do that ..you hurt yourself pretty good.
The stream? a lot of rocks… ahh Kit? Matt I have so much to tell you…. I know.. but, just rest..
Matt, Hold Me?…now that is the best suggestion I’ve heard all week? She just smiled. He curled up beside her.. holding her gently… before he knew it she was fast asleep. He leaned down Kissed the top of her head…Good Night Honey!
Later Lucy and Tess… were up and walking around the camp… Matt heard.. the shuffling of the brush..
Slowly and gently.. He ..slip out and went to check … when he approached them….Tess let out a yell!
Darn.. Matt you scared the… shaking his head…yeah I can see that… what are you two doing up?
Couldn’t sleep?…thought we’d come talk to you.. batting their eyes at him.. if you were still awake..?
Look Tess, Lucy.. is it? It’s been a really long day… you both should get some sleep….Matt really didn’t want to fend off these two in the middle of the night… then he could hear a sound behind him…
Turning.. quickly….only to see Kitty standing….holding onto a tree…Cowboy? Kitty?.. you shouldn’t be.. Yeah.. I woke up and you were… Kit! I’m right here.. Both Tess and Lucy.. took notice to Kitty wearing Matt’s shirt! They were now both wide-eyed! Matt had both arms wrapped around Kitty holding her…to support her balance…. Come’on let get you back.. to bed….. The two girls looked at one another…
Who do you think she is?… and how does he know her? How could he know her? We found her in the stream! Hey did you see .. She was wearing his shirt? Lucy said. Do you think? Tess hit Lucy’s arm..
Let’s hope not?… then what would be our chances?…. Besides…. She’s hurt and sick… then Lucy ,nodded
Yeah your right…I’m just getting carried away with my imagination. He’s just a caring Man..right…?..Just my kind of man…winking at Tess…
