Saturday Snippet: In the Flesh

The  following is taken from my novel, 

Diantha 

Book 14 in the series, 

The Widows of Wildcat Ridge

Upon hearing the next sound that filled the air, Hilaina stopped in her tracks, frozen in place as she listened. A man whistled. The tune sounded like the one Buck used to whistle at her when she started talking too much. He’d tease her into silence by softly whistling the very tune she heard now. Only, it could not be Buck. He worked on a big ranch in northern Colorado, miles away from Wildcat Ridge.

Unable to restrain her curiosity any longer, Hilaina stepped around the wagon until she saw the back of a man clad in denim work clothes squatting on the ground while he hammered at wide rough-cut boards to attach them to a wooden frame. It appeared he was building a large wooden box or bin. She slowly approached as she studied him. He seemed to have the same build as Buck, and wore the same hat. Dare she hope?

The man, wearing the hint of a grin, stood and faced her. For one of the few times in her life, Hilaina found herself speechless. The man who had filled her thoughts the past two and a half months, the man she dreamed about every night, the man she longed for with every ounce of her being stood before her. She swallowed and found her voice. “Buckley John Kramer, that really you?”

She watched his grin widen and a teasing light fill his eyes. “In the flesh, Hilaina Dowd.”
