The Cowboy

anything rash while you were visiting Moorcroft, did you?"
    He kissed her throat and then raised his head to look down at her with gleaming eyes. "Maggie, love, I'm a businessman, not a gunfighter or an outlaw. Your romantic imagination sometimes gets a little carried away."
    "I'm not so sure about that. Where you're concerned, my romantic imagination tends to be right on target." She reached up to put her arms around his neck and draw him down to her. "Remind me in the morning to send a telegram to some friends."
    "Sure. Anything you say, Maggie, love. In the meantime what do you say we go for another midnight ride?"
    "That sounds wonderful," she whispered, looking up at him with all her love in her eyes.
     
     
    K atherine I nskip H awthorne got her telegram while she was eating papaya at breakfast with her husband on Amethyst Island. Sarah Fleetwood Trace found hers waiting for her when she got back from a treasure-hunting honeymoon.
     
    Married a cowboy. Definitely an old-fashioned kind of guy. Code of the West, etc. A little rough around the edges but fantastic in the saddle. Can't wait for you to meet him. Suggest we all vacation on Amethyst Island this year.
    Love, Maggie
     
    Sarah reached for the telephone at once and dialed Amethyst Island. "
Maggie
? She's let him talk her into letting herself be called Maggie?"
    Katherine laughed on the other end of the line. "Obviously the woman is in love. How about that vacation here on the island?"
    "Sounds like a truly brilliant idea to me," Sarah said, glancing at Gideon. "We'll all go treasure-hunting."
    "It seems," said Katherine, "that we've already found our treasures."
    "I think you're right."
