After turning in a half-circle so Carrie once again faced the bedroom, her trunk, which sat at an angle to the bed, next caught her eye. Someone wanted me to see this. Another brief check of the room revealed a folded paper on Carrie’s pillow. She crossed the room and picked it up.
I love you, Carrie, but I love him, too. I prayed about this and followed my heart. I always want you living near me, but the decision is yours. Everything you need is in your trunk. Please join me. If you hurry, we can travel together.
Dolly
Closing her eyes, Carrie threw her head back and gritted her teeth. Dolly, you little traitor. What am I going to do with you?
Carrie quickly realized the bigger question was, what was she going to do? Dolly was gone, and Carrie knew her sister was on her way to Baggs. She defied―defied―Carrie’s instructions to forget Jesse Hardin and focus on seeking a marriage offer from Mr. Cartwell in Sidney.
So, what did Dolly mean by everything Carrie needed was in her trunk? With trembling fingers, she fumbled in her reticule until she held the key securely. After unlocking the trunk, she lifted the lid.
On top, Carrie saw three tickets and what she guessed to be half of the money sent for travel expenses.
Swallowing, Carrie stood and shook her head. She still did not wish to travel to Baggs, Wyoming Territory. She certainly felt no desire to marry Devlin Anders. However, she had no intention of letting her sister travel on her own halfway across the country and deep into a wild land full of cattle rustlers.
