Chapter Forty-Six Obtaining Help

Virginia Peters stands alone near the graves behind the barn.  “Damn you, John.  You went and got yourself killed and involved our son.  What were you thinking man?  Now all of what you have already built may be lost because of your stupidity.”  She walks back to the house with tears in her eyes shed only for her oldest son.

Virginia knows she has to hold this ranch together until she can get more help and finds an attorney who will save their property.  She plans to have a bigger dinner than usual for the hands.  Even though Matt knows how to cook I’m sure they haven’t had a decent meal cooked by a woman since I left.  Tonight I have to do a little selling and the best way they say to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
