Carbon Copy Cowboy

“No, no,” Violet said. “It’s no bother.”

“It might even be a good thing,” Maddie said at the same time. Ty cleared his throat, and she instantly subsided. Kendra could only wonder what that might be about, but she had no time to ponder the matter as Violet suddenly rose.

“You must be tired,” she said, “after everything you’ve been through. Let me show you to your room.”

“I’d like to help clean up first,” Kendra insisted, aware that she really had no choice but to stay the night here at least.

Violet waved that away. “Lupita will have cleaned up everything but what you see here.”

“Ty and I will clear the table and load these things into the dishwasher,” Maddie volunteered. Ty lifted an eyebrow but said not a word. He was certainly a quiet type, good-looking, too, almost as good-looking as Jack.

Kendra got up. Suddenly exhausted, she felt herself sway. Violet instantly reached out.

“You poor thing! You haven’t recovered at all.”

“I’m fine,” Kendra said with a wan smile, “just a little tired is all.” Straightening, she lifted her chin and took a deep breath.

“You come on with me now,” Violet instructed, taking Kendra by the arm.

“Do you have any things to be brought in?” Maddie asked, looking to Ty.

“I left a bag of toiletries in Jack’s truck,” Kendra said, just then remembering. “Other than that, I only have what I’m wearing.”

“I’ll run out and get the bag,” Maddie told her, hurrying away from the table. “Then I have some things you can borrow.”

“We’ll get you all fixed up,” Violet promised.

Embarrassed, Kendra could do nothing but smile and follow her hostess from the room.
