Bright star Quote by Catherine Anderson
““Hunter, I have no brothers. You are my brother. My wife is dead. My child is dead. My parents are dead. Must I lose another to the tosi tivo ?” Hunter took a deep, jagged breath and slowly exhaled. “Red Buffalo, when my woman takes your hand in friendship, you are welcome in my lodge. Until then, walk a road of sorrow. It is the path you chose.” “I never chose to walk apart from you, never.” Though it took all his strength of will to do it, Hunter brushed Red Buffalo’s hand from his arm. “Walk a new way. Take a wife. You don’t have to be alone unless you wish to be.” With a slight motion of his head, Hunter directed Red Buffalo’s gaze toward the maiden who lingered on the far side of the fire, adding wood to the flames. When she glanced up and saw Red Buffalo staring at her, she blushed and grew so flustered that she dropped the logs she held in her arms. “Bright Star?” Red Buffalo whispered. Hunter walked away, leaving Red Buffalo to take it from there.””
