Old
Flame Revisited
Watching out the window, slightly dozing,.. Kitty watch as
everything green was now covered in a Blanket of WHITE! Smiling to herself she knew she was now
nearly Home…. Three weeks was a long time away from everyone she loved…The glass window was now
frosting over,… gently she reach up rubbing her hand in circular motion,… Daydreaming.. about her Cowboy… waiting for
her with Open arms…well, Maybe that Welcome
would happen when they had time to be alone… And best of all, she’d be
back in Dodge for Christmas! Just than
the Conductor , announced that it would just be a few more Hours till
Dodge! Lightly closing her eyes,.. she
Mumbled to herself,… Home…Home …
Reluctantly, Matt walked with Dolly to Delmonico’s …
snuggling up close and holding tight to his arm… Oh, Matt this is like old times… You , Me
,.. cozy supper…. Now wait ,.. hold on there , there’s no you and me…this is
just supper , you understand ? Matt said ..now realizing she was getting
carried away. OHHHH, ok …baby
steps …baby steps… smiling up at him….
Sitting at supper ,… Dolly began going on about , how she
could stay in Dodge and they could pick up where they left off….they weren’t
kids anymore and he really needed to settle down … A Wife ,.. and maybe a
family… shaking his head and throwing up his Hand,.. Now Dolly!... I just told
you there is No me and You…. And there’s not gonna be either! So, lets stop all this talk about…. Now laughing up at him….. OH, Matt … you’ll
see you’ll change your Mind ? I’m
really impressed with Dodge… it’s grown… and best thing of all is You’re
here! What could get in our
way..? Matt took a deep breath… and
rolled his eyes… Now Dolly … just then Festus’ came thru the door in a hurry,…
Matthew ! Matthew !…. Thisy here just come for you … Barney says you be a
wantin’ fur this Directly…. Reaching for the piece of paper from Festus’ he looked over and said. This is Dolly Winters,… Ma’am … Festus’ said looking at Matt with question in his face…
Festus’ Miss Winters was an old Friend from years ago,... and Now Dolly jumped in , WAS? Matt was concentrating on the paper in his
hand, he just responded,.. HUH? Matt
Dillon ,... you said I was an old friend,,,.. ! My feelings are hurt … Matt now realized what was in the Note Barney
sent Festus’ to bring… he read it ignoring the chatter…
Matt Dillon Dodge city , Kansas
Matt,
I’ll be in on the Morning train. Stop. Can’t wait to see everyone. Stop. …. Kitty
Matt, although Happy
Kitty was returning …. He began to Sweat!... his thoughts went to Kitty and what her reaction to Dolly would be, and …that wasn’t
going to be a Good One! He had to figure a way to either keep the two
apart,… or get through to Dolly before
Kitty got Back in Dodge,… if there was one thing Matt didn’t want to deal with
it was Kitty’s Fury! Especially after she had warned him that
Dolly wasn’t the Girl he remembered her to be… he was so engrossed in his
thought , he hadn’t heard a word Dolly was saying,… then felt.. her hand
caressing his arm… Matt? Matt? Are you listening to me?… she said. snapping out of his fog,… Oh Yeah sure I
am.. I heard every word, Good then Let’s Go Back to My Room.. and have that Night Cap! Ahhh ,..
what ? … I , I, can’t…Na uh… you can
have a Night Cap Marshal…you have to walk me back to My Room anyway… now
looking at him with Sad ,but sultry Eyes….
Matt trying to be a gentleman… Let’s get you back… trying to figure a
way out of this….
