Masks We Wear?
It was a rather silent ride back to Le Richlieu,… Matt knew this was difficult for Kitty…
coming back to visit with her Mother… and seeing Wayne Russell’s Grave now
there as well… the memories of her childhood flooding back rapidly…. Kitty was
very close to her Mother…especially because with the LaRouge family cutting
Annalise off for Marrying Wayne Russell…. The family structure wasn’t there…
and with Wayne being gone so much Her Mother depended on her a great deal….
More so when she became pregnant with her second child ,during a time when he
had shown back up in New Orleans… the only person , they could depend on when
things really got bad was Kitty Great-Aunt Constance…she too saw Wayne Russell
for the Cad he was, but never agreed with the family’s decision to turn on one
of their own… and not with a child…!
Matt just pulled Kitty into a close embrace… Kit,… We’ll get through this … You will be
ok… You are the strongest woman I know….
OH! and what if I’m tired of being this strong woman you know? Huh? Matt
scrunched his face ,.. then turned to face her,.. Well, Then I’ll be strong for the both of us….. Honey I Love
You!... I’m not going to leave you… I won’t leave you like He did you and your
Mother! Matt Dillon,
you are Nothing Like Him! She still
had tears streaming down her cheeks. Ahhh, Kit… wiping her face ,… What?.
I don’t know … The crying,,.. woman Crying… he said, feeling
un-useful….. What do you want me to do…?
Then she looked at him with Sad eyes,….Just be you Cowboy!... and be
here ..with me… That’s all! Always
Honey …!
Look now that we’re
back here,… why don’t you .. lie down a bit… rest …? I’m gonna go find a tele-graph office and
wire Doc … that we’ll be on our way Home …Ok?
Nodding her head…in agreement…Yeah
that sounds good … but Matt?...
huh? Hurry Back?... tapping
his hat,.. he gave her a Kiss and a
Wink…I sure Will! And he was out the door….
Kitty curled up in the hugh bed,… the events of the
Morning.. had her feeling slightly drained….
She could rest , till Matt comes back … then,.. she would have his loving arms
to hold her….
Dozing off ,… she heard a light knock,… stretching a bit… Oh, Cowboy did you forget your Key ? making her way to the Door… as she opened
it… she was looking down the barrel of a
Gun! Now eyes wide Open…
she inhaled deeply….…holding her breath…then exhaling said…. What are You doing Here? And How did you know I was
here? What do you want?... and Why are
you pointing that Gun at me? Kitty
now had a fear rising in her chest… but was thinking ,… Cowboy ..Please come back! Then , said …Matt will…now walking her back into the room…. I just watched him Leave!, so
he’s not here to help you …. Darlin’ Girl!
