““Before taking her leave, Miriam reminded Willow not to be long coming to bed. Rider stood and pulled Willow into his arms. "I wish you were coming to my bed, love. I dreamed about you all day." He tilted her chin up, gently kissing her lips, then broke away. "Is that all I get?" she protested, raising up on her toes and pulling him close again.

Have a heart,love, and say good night while I can still walk to the bunkhouse." A sigh of regret left Willow's lips as she stole one last kiss, then hurried inside.””
