and no, this is not simply a teaser.  It's going somewhere.

Two more chapters? :D  I've got great timing today     Off to read......





SPOILERS

Chapter 58

Louise, you've been hanging around police departments in your spare time  ;)  So now we've learned that Wes was right that Merrill Snopes is not the rapist - but he was still wrong not to follow-up.   Wes is gonna get an earful from Mama Snopes, but I guess it's all part of the job.


Chapter 59

I enjoy reading about the paso finos and now Millie has a friend.  I think it's good for Colson to keep expanding his horizons and training the paso finos will help in that regard. 

If you think it’s cause a you an him gettin busy... don’t worry yer head.”

 :laugh: :laugh:  Go, Edna!!  That was a very sweet exchange. 

And, yes, Leslie, HAIR COMBING!!!!  I thought of you when I read that  LOL!!  I agree with Ellery - we best get started. 
 
Thanks, Louise
Marie

yup, and he will get an earful.  We are nearing the end of this tale, as you might imagine, but there are still a few more twists and turns to go!

“I’m jest... lovin ya in my own way.”

Ahhh.....that was bliss, Louise.   :)


Chapter 61

“I thought I was gonna die, Jeeves, I thought I was gonna die.”   OMG, poor Lance...

“Will you c’mere an hold me for a while?” Tears stood in Lance’s eyes once more.

Beautifully moving, Louise.  Thank you.

Now I'll bet you're in need of a great dinner and a good night's sleep.  I wish you both.    :-*
