Entwined Hearts
After two days of riding , the train pulled into the Dodge
City Depot, Festus’ was there to greet Kitty as she stepped off the train…. Miz
Kitty…! Miz Kitty… ! Oh Festus’
quickly she hugged , him so happy to see her Dear friend… How is
Doc?.... Miz Kitty,.. That ther’ ol’ Scudder is as strong as an Ox! Now Festus’!
He’ll sur be plum happy to see you!
I’ll sure be happy to see him too. Let’s go….
They headed for Doc’s office… Miz Kitty you go right on…
I’ll git ur’ things… Thanks you ..I’m staying at the Long Branch while I’m here
…Yes’ Ma’am placing a hand on his
cheek… I’ve missed you ….
When she entered, Doc Office…. Hannah was in the outer
office.. Miss Kitty ,.. Welcome back… Thank You Hannah ,… Just wish it was
under better circumstances? How is
he? No Change… Newly with him. Yes…
Kitty headed to the back room,… sitting softly beside him on the bed… he looked
pale-gray, tired and weak,… tears filled her eyes….Ohhh Curly! What happened to you? If you wanted me to visit you didn’t have to
do it like this! Taking her hand and
placing it on his clamy cheek….. Don’t you leave me!,… I need you!... I really
need you Curly! You know that? Who do you think has kept me together all
these years?... I couldn’t have done it without you…. She laid her head along side him on the bed and
began to cry…… Please , please Don’t leave me?????
Matt was about half way back, when the train made a stop he
sent another wire … to check on Doc… newly had told him there was no change…
and that Kitty was in Town… it was a relief to know she would be there when he
got there… but he was still unsure what he would say to her… or if she would
still even talk to him… but he would worry about that then….
As he got back on the
train The conductor… Told him they would be in Dodge sooner than scheduled
Things were looking good.
When The train, pulled into Dodge, Matt headed straight for
Doc’s Office,… Hannah was leaving as he entered…. Marshal? Glad your back… Thanks Hannah. How’s Doc?..
No Change Kitty’s in with him now he stiffened his Jaw… and then nodded. Slowly walking into the room,…. Seeing her
lying on the edge of the bed crying,… he bent down beside her …Kitty?... it’s
going to be alright ,… Doc’s a Strong ol’ Buzzard… through a crying voice,,,
How do you know? Rockin her head back
and forth ,… I can’t lose him Matt! ,.. I just Can’t! gently he
place a hand on her back….. I
know , honey I know!
How long have you been here,…A few days,… Have you slept?,
Ate? Shaking her head,.. No! and don’t tell me I have to either… I’m not
leaving him!... Kitty it won’t do you or Him any good if you get sick too. I don’t need you to tell me….then she
stopped… Look don’t you have somewhere
you need to be ?, someone you need to chase?
Kit, Don’t!.. Please? I was
hoping we could Talk? I think we said
all we have to …Shhh…I have a few thing I need to say ..to tell you… I have
nothing to say to you Matt Dillon!... Ok , Good, Then you can Just Listen….
UGH! Matt Dillon you infuriate the hell
out of me!... then that must mean you still love me?.... Just then Newly and Hannah
walked in…… Miss Kitty Hannah said.,, Now I don’t want any argument … Your
going over to the Long branch and get a good Night Sleep…Oh No… et’ et’… no argument…. Damn !,
you’ve spent to much time around DOC! Kitty and Matt both laughed!
Oh, alright… but just for a little while,,.. and I’ll be
back… Kitty , can I walk you over to The Long Branch? Suit yourself…! As the left the office,… he place his hand
at the small of her back , and guided her down the stairs… Now about that talk?.... What Talk?...
