A blast of cold wind almost took Cecil Miller’s hat off. He clamped it to
his head and tore his attention off the wagon pulling from the river on
the opposite bank. Behind him, black clouds scudded across the sky,
moving closer at a furious rate. What? When had that happened?
“Storm coming,” But no one heard his call. Two wagons and their
occupants were on the far riverbank. Only Louise and Hazel’s wagon
remained on this side, waiting to make the journey across the rapidly
moving water. Where were they?
He ran past the stationary wagon and skidded to a halt. Louise sat on the
ground, bent over a book, reading. Hadn’t she glanced up? Didn’t she
notice the change in weather? “Get in the wagon.” The words roared from
his mouth.
Her head jerked up. Her brown eyes widened. Her mouth opened—
He’d already learned that she wasn’t keen on accepting help. Even less
on taking orders. Especially from him. Maybe becoming a nurse meant
being in charge. Not that he cared. There were more important things to
deal with than her resistance.
“Hurry!” Already, scattered drops of rain cut into his skin.
And into hers, convincing her without another word from him.
But did she head for shelter? No.
She grabbed her skirt and raced past the back of the wagon. “Hazel and
the baby.”
Cecil was hot on her heels. He’d expected the pair to be inside where
they often were.
Hazel sat on the ground, her head down, one-year-old Petey playing at
her feet. Huh, so they weren’t in the wagon.
Had he ever seen a wearier-looking person? Mentally, he kicked
himself. He should have noticed how tired she was. Surely, he could have
done something to ease things for her. Sure, he’d tried, but he should have
tried harder.
But there wasn’t time to think about it now.
Louise scooped up the little one, covering his head with her hand to
keep the driving spears of rain off him. “Hazel, come on. Get into the
wagon. Hurry.”
Hazel blinked as if bringing her view into focus.
There wasn’t time to wait for her to sort things out.
Cecil caught her arms, pulled her to her feet, and rushed after Louise,
half-carrying Hazel. She struggled to get her feet to the step so she could
crawl into the wagon. Rather than wait, he lifted her in.
Louise scrambled in on her own, and Cecil followed so fast he stumbled
and caught himself on a crate. They made it just in time as the heavens
opened, pouring down sheets of rain. The onslaught against the canvas
bonnet was like a roaring animal. He tightened the drawstring at the end of
the wagon after him to provide protection.
