Victoria County, Texas, 1888 -- OOM for Ben Wade (part 2)
[following this:]
It was a breathtaking sunrise. Kate slept through part of it, waking when the sky was already on fire, pink clouds melting into a violet haze at the horizon. She rose up and gave Ben his coat back, shaking off the chill in her bones and the fog across her mind from not enough solid rest.
The morning routine set them in opposite directions at first, as they quietly attempt to wake themselves up for the ride into town. "Baths" need to be taken (in other words, they need to walk down to the river and splash freezing water on themselves), fires rebuilt, food prepared, and trail coffee is a definite must.
Kate leaves Ben to his own devices, wandering off to see what sort of game she can rustle up.
Moments later, gunfire breaks the serenity of the desert morning.
