After Tex
“Mrs. Gomez asked when Megan finally came into the kitchen after ten on Sunday.Still exhausted from her late-night meeting, Megan yawned. “Isn’t she still asleep?”“At this hour? Heavens, no. She is an early riser like your grandfather. She is up with the chickens.”A vague sense of unease stirred in Megan. “Have you looked in the barn?”“She is not with the kittens,” Mrs. Gomez replied. “That was the first place I checked. And before you ask, Tex’s horse is still in his stall. I believe she learned her lesson about trying to ride him.”Megan studied the housekeeper worriedly. “You don’t suppose…?”“That her mother came?” Mrs. Gomez suggested, immediately picking up on her unspoken thought. “Tess would not go with her, not without stirring up a fuss. After her reaction the other day when we learned of her mother’s return, I am sure of that.”“Then she’s probably just gone for a walk,” Megan said, trying to convince herself and Mrs. Gomez that there was no reason to be concerned.
