As they are talking both of them notice John Peters Sr. riding by the window with two of his ranch hands. Neither one of them says a word for a moment until he rides up the street.
Heather says, “I haven’t seen him in town for over six months. I wonder what is going on.”
“Don’t know, Heather, the only thing I know is that John Peters is always looking out for John Peters. Whatever he has in mind must be something he wants or wants done. He and that oldest son of his are two peas in a pod.”
“Maggie, thanks, and yes, I would like to be your friend. You’ve already made me feel a lot better. I think I should go over and see if Randy needs some help right now.”
“Go ahead, just remember we owe each other some time together and if you want down the road I could introduce you to Joan and Jessica.”
“That would be nice.”
Heather gets up from the table and runs across the street to their store.
Inside, Randy says, “Is Maggie all right?”
“Yes, she just saw me standing out front and invited me for coffee.”
“That’s neighborly of her. Did you see John Peters riding by?”
