Matt sat at his desk, trying to fill out his report about the events that took place out on the prairie … unable to concentrate, still think about how angry Kitty was when he left.   Somehow he has to make her see things from his point of view. This is his Job , His Duty, His Responsibility.   Then rolling his eyes,… Dillon, it hasn’t work thus far why should it now?... yeah, she’s dealt with My wearing a Badge, for a lot of years, probably longer than most woman would have , and I love her for That,… and I know what she has sacrificed… UMMMM A lot… A home, Family…. And just being in danger … being associated with me… 
The sound of jingling spurs, and the banter between Festus’ and Doc,.. broke his train of thought….The office door flew open, …then … Matt-hew!,.. Matthew  ur ‘a back!    Course he’s back! He’s sitting right there… I see that you ol’ scudder… Matt-hew ur sure plum de’ were missed.. Festus’ it’s only been a few days?     But, we’a a still missed ya..   !   why, Miz Kit...    quickly Doc elbowed  him.. what’cha go and do that fur?      Matt why don’t you joing us for breakfast?..Festus’ is buyin’…. He is?    I ain’t’a doin no such’a thing!    Now lowing his eyes,.. you know I would Matthew But, I…. Yeah Festus’ I know….                Doc began to laugh,… Festus’ can you get the mail?... sur  thang  Matthew!   Git ur directly.. and he left….Doc, waited and paced the room,… Ok, Let’s have it,Doc.   HUH?   What’s eatin’ you?    Kitty know your back?.. puckering his lips and rollin his eyes… Yeah!      That Good HUH?   Yeah!,… Furious?   You could say that….  Can you blame her Matt?   Now Doc, Let’s not have this argument?    Now, Matt….I’m gonna say somethings to you … and I want you to listen to me… really listen to me….!     Swiping his Mustache, and tugging on his ear……     Matt I’ve known you for,… Doc is this gonna be a history lesson?    Matt For almost twenty Years, I’ve dug out Um-Teen bullets, and sewn up gosh knows how many knife wounds in your hide?... and every time .. do you know who was right there by my side EVERY TIME?...KITTY!, that’s who,.. assisting me is saving your life, nursing you back to health, you think she just brought you soup?... do you have any idea how many night I found her exhausted sitting by your side refusing to leave you .. until she knew you’d be alright?... Damn it man , That Young Lady Loves You … and sometimes I’m beginning to question  why?      He let out a huff of breath and walked out slamming the door behind him.

Making his way across the street, to the Long Branch, he spotted Kitty at a Table alone,…she was attempting to finish the books and drinking coffee,.. Well Morning Young Lady! In a solomn tone, Morning Curly.,  someone’s not in a good mood this morning?   Looking out the corner of her eye, You know he’s back don’t you?   Nodding ,Yeah Honey….. I know … And he Put That DAMNED BADGE back on Curly!  Honey, you know how he feels?    Swallowing hard,… he still can’t shoot with that hand Doc!.. someone’s gonna kill him, if he walks around here with that badge on!  Honey, Matt knows that… YES! I know he knows that ,.. And so do I Doc!, and I can’t do it anymore, I Love Him , You know That I Do,… No Body , knows better then you do Curly.. But, I can’t watch him play Roulette with Death,… every time I watched you , dig a Bullett out of him.. ….Tears were filling in her eyes,.. he reached over,,, covering her hand with his,… I know Honey,,. I know!    What am I gonna do Curly?....I’m Scared!
