His explanation of what had happened there accounted for the suffocating sadness that had rolled over her. That piece of memory had left her half expecting to remember her family. But she didn’t.
As she had stared at them, the realization had hit her like a blow. For a moment she hadn’t been able to breathe. Panic and crushing disappointment slammed her hard enough that she had wanted to lean into his wide chest, let him shelter her from a dark bitter crush of emotion. But she hadn’t.
“Bram’s going into Whirlwind.” Mrs. Blue—her mother—joined the others on the porch and looked at Deborah. “Oh, that’s a nearby town.”
She appreciated the information even though this was something she actually knew. “He told me about Whirlwind.”
“Good.” The other woman smiled softly.
As Bram kneed his horse into a lope, Deborah tore her gaze from his broad shoulders and turned to her family.
Mrs. Blue continued, “He plans to talk to the sheriff and explain what’s going on.”
“Did he tell you about the money?” she asked. “And Cosgrove?”
“Yes.”
“Cosgrove!” Jordan frowned. “What does he have to do with anything?”
“I don’t like him, Deborah,” said the girl with the mouse.
Deborah recalled her name was Marah.
“What money?” Michal asked, pulling her long black hair over her shoulder.
Jordan watched Deborah somberly. Almost warily. “Do you really not remember Bram?”
“No.”
“You’re completely smitten with him.”
Mrs. Blue herded them toward the door. “Let’s go inside. Your sister might like to eat or bathe. And we can talk.”
Sister. Deborah looked at the women around her. All raven haired, all pretty, all showing the same puzzlement that she felt. And she didn’t recognize a single one of them.
Any more than she recognized the man who had asked her to marry him. The man she was supposedly in love with.
