He committed this to memory. Damn and blast, if he had Harper here...? The man could whip up something suitably stirred and fried. Pat'd set it out on a fine wooden table and leave the lamp nearly doused nearby. And if they were home, he'd arrange for Hagman to be stationed on watch nearby. Humming and singing as he did.
But now they were here and Patrick Harper wasn't and he didn't know how to make this modern woman understand his desire to sit down and have a meal with her. It's just that she was so...comfortable to talk with. Somehow, she breathed tolerance as well as grace.
He'd only met her twice, now, but...by God, he wanted to meet her more.
"Been sticking to the spring rabbits, myself. Snow's a-leaving so their coats are darkening. Low fire. A few apples. Ain't nothing fancy..."
