Gynn served breakfast, Aaron's larger in size
She stuck out her tongue as 3Gun's rolled eyes
'This is really good.'
'Best in the county. The owner made her livin' at bounty.
Worked for me than married the mayor,
bore him twins now a deputy no more.'
Aaron chewed thoughtfully then said, 'You had questions.'
'The folks in this town are pretty tight-knit.
Strangers don't often make a good fit.' 3Gun waited.
'Am I not welcome? Is that what you've stated?'
'Just sayin', think hard about what you anticipated.
We know all about Harriet and the troubles she had.'
'Well, I experienced some firsthand,
so I fully understand.
And Sheriff, I appreciate your protective stance,
I'm just hopeful of a second chance.'
3Gun nodded, called for Gyn,
paid the bill, and watched her grin
as she thanked Aaron for coming in.
His eyes rolled again.
'So, I promised a meet with our town's newspaper lady,
Miss Caroline Grace, but just CG to her face.'
'Seems this town has a lot of women in business. Library, cafe, newspaper, hotel.'
'School, and livery too. They hold a lot of sway, truth to tell.'
'I can see why Harriet must love it here . . . women's rights.'
'We don't distinguish much,' 3Gun smiled, ' saves fights.'
'Here we are,' 3Gun pointed, while Aaron took stock He read the sign, Gold Pillars, taking in the lemon trees, and the large double hammock.'
That where she takes a break for an afternoon snooze?'
'Occasionally. Truth is, she's the source of most of the news.'
Aaron stared, his face befuddled attention 3Gun opened the door and called, 'Hey, Muffin!'
