As autumn began, Daphne gave up hope that Brock would ever come around and let that dream die. She thought that Cy had been right, that she’d been foolish to ever think that a man who hated the Comanche so much could ever accept her. She had more important things to concentrate on, such as taking care of her family.
Sly’s family grew increasingly concerned as he withdrew far into himself. Unless he had something important to say or he was asked a direct question, he rarely spoke. He stopped going to the bars, preferring to spend his time alone when he wasn’t working. He felt dead inside and being around a lot of people was too exhausting. His family prayed that one day he would heal and be able to find happiness again.
Under Leigh’s guidance, Sundance Ranch turned a small profit when their steer sold fairly well at the fall sale. It wasn’t much, but it was a start. They built a woodshop for Johnny, and he started receiving work orders. Leigh hadn’t felt such contentment in a long time. She once again had a husband and family she loved, and they would be her anchor during the storms of life. Working the ranch and helping it prosper was also satisfying because it helped ensure her family’s future and wellbeing.
Cy was proud of his wife for all the positive changes she had brought about on the ranch. However, the ones that she’d brought to his heart and outlook on life were the ones most precious to him. No matter how badly his day went at work, knowing that he had her to come home to bolstered him and helped him through the hard times. If he was her anchor than she was his refuge in a sea of uncertainty.
Sly Lone Wolf wasn’t the only one trying to recover from the tragedy of Catherine’s death. Carly Branson had her plate full. Between dealing with her own grief and wading through all the legal issues her father’s blackmail scheme had caused, there were days when she wanted to walk away from it all. Not only that, but the damage to her family’s reputation also caused her political problems, and she feared that she wouldn’t be able to overcome them by the time that the election came around next year.
November brought more than cold temperatures to the land. To some it brought a bleak season that fit right in with the pain in their hearts, while to others, it brought excitement over the coming holidays. Could the season of hope and joy overcome sadness and despair, or would it bring nothing but painful reminders of happier times gone by? One never knew which way the winds of Fate would blow because, after all, this was Chance City.
