"Good thang I'm sittin' up here and wearin' boots," Rebecca chuckled. She patted his knee. "And ya will make a right fine husband, I s'pect." Then she leered at him from under her hat. "I done got ya trained fer the important parts."

He laughed loudly and pushed her slightly out of balance.

"Oh, ya think ya should take credit fer that!? Well, naw ya've gone and broken my heart... Kiss and make-up?" He asked, half serious, pouting his lips.

Grinning, she leaned over and did just that, and made sure it was a damned good one before she pulled away a bit, both of them a little breathless.

"Don't ferget ta ask me again, later, ya hear?" she smiled. "In the mean time..." Rebecca hopped off the fence and looked up at him. "Think they'd miss us if'n we didn' go back?"

Wyatt blinked a few times after the kiss, then answered with a grin, "With yer Dad ta entertain, I'd be surprised if they r'member'd we're even 'round if we go back..."

"Al'right then." Smiling playfully, she pulled him off the fence and caught him when he stumbled.

"I wanna thank ya proper fer puttin' yerself up like that to my Dad. Yer place, or th' treehouse?"

To call it a treehouse was being generous. It was more a platform with railings built between two large redwoods down by the river. But it had been plenty enough when they were kids, stringing a couple of horse blankets for a roof for their adventures. It still sufficed for their more adult activities when they wanted to not be readily available to anyone. Wyatt's place was the first place they'd look for them, followed by the main house and the barns. If it was important, Zach and T would know where to find them.

"Treehouse sounds mighty fine ta me. But I wouldn't mind just lightin' a cig and chattin' it up with ya fer a while. I get the feelin' you'll be slippin' away from here b'fore I know it..."

She leaned in and kissed him. A Wyatt that was as talkative as he seemed to be planning was a rare thing. "Ain't no reason we can't do both. We'll stop by the house an' grab a blanket, an' a coupla cold drinks. Then if ya d'cide ta go chase butterflies we kin do that too."

"Ugh! Incorrigible, I tell ya!" He's literally dragging her there.

The next day, Eric is making a hearty breakfast, sharing a personal recipe with Uncle T. They both turn around at the same time to greet her. Wyatt is elsewhere, of course, recovering, as can be expected.

Without a word, Rebecca hung her hat on the row of pegs by the back door, gave Uncle T a good morning kiss on the cheek, then rounded on Eric.

"What'n hell were ya thinkin', tellin' Wyatt that?" she demanded. "You've been tellin' me fer years I weren't gonna be able to stay ferever in Cimarron, an' my time here's growin' short. If'n I marry a man, I'm stayin' with him ta the end. There won't be any of this 'I'll visit when I can' shit that Mom put up with, no sir. Wyatt's sore equipp'd ta deal with that viper's den ya call home. Hell, I'm not sure I'm equipp'd ta deal with it. What'n hell are ya playin' at?"

Rebecca had never raised her voice to Eric, and while he had annoyed her in the past, she'd never been angry. But this, this was too much.

Eric raises an eyebrow and turns to face her fully. Uncle T helps himself to a plate of omelette royale and walks out into the veranda.

"What is it that makes you upset? The fact that you had to turn him down??"

She lifted her chin in challenge. "Who said I turn'd 'im down?"

Eric would have smiled, was this the true Eric?

"I'm sure you haven't set a date yet... If you hadn't turned him down, you would have been happy I gave him my blessing, and you probably would have stayed in bed later, I reckon." His tone is matter-of-factly, but his eyes reflect something more serious.

The steely look she gave him was very much her mother. "I didn' tell 'im 'no', and I ain't gonna. I'm upset 'cause ya jist cheerfully told 'im he had yer blessin' when we are both knowin' there's more ta it then that. I won't see Wyatt hurt; 'specially not by me an' mine."
