“Well, we weren’t much more than out of town when someone shot Josh. We didn’t see who it was, but I think it was probably the Goosetrees or one...of them. We all shot back toward the men shooting at us while Mary saw to Josh. After a few shots they stopped firing and headed their horses back toward town. We didn’t try to catch the men but it looked like we winged at least one of them. There was a large pool of blood where they were shooting from and drops from there toward town. One of them was. Roberta was ready in five minutes and we drove up to the house. I gave her a quick tour and she said she had never seen a house like it but it certainly would be beautiful once it was completed. We started by cutting the shrink-wrap from a bundle of 1 by 8 boards.Next she would bring me a piece and I would run it through the jointer, squaring up one side. After we completed the bundle we were ready to start ripping the wood to 4 3⁄4 inches for door facing. I told Roberta to stack the pieces. I think if they let him take the bullet out of his shirt pocket, he might have shot me. He jumped out of his car as if he thought we were on TV. I stopped and smiled at him. Rachel was no help. She collapsed in a front yard, trying to get her breath back. I let go of Duke, and he went to Buster as they joined Rachel on the lawn. Billy saw it was me and I could see him visibly relax, but he still had his hand on his gun.“Are you going to shoot me?” I asked.“I’m not sure yet. Were you trying to. He was gorgeous standing at 6’1 about 210lbs of pure muscle, deep brown eyes and dark brown hair. The pub was my usual haunt, the girls and I would go down on a Friday night for drinks and a dance, some of them would bring their boyfriends but I had been single for quite a while and never brought anyone with me. The Living had never played at the pub before, but they were fantastic everyone cheered for them that night. After that they would be there nearly every fortnight to play, their fan.
