Pearl's Possession (The Red Petticoat Saloon) Read online

Page 16


  I would be with them soon.

  But I knew I would last a few more months. I would see my great-grandchild born—one of many to come, given all the children we had adopted from the orphanage long ago. They lived far and abroad, and many of them stayed on the mountain.

  "I'm glad you told me the truth. I had guessed some of the story, but my father said I had to ask you."

  I smiled. "I'm so glad you did. And now I ask a boon, child. Tell your children, and your sisters and cousins when they are grown. Let the tale of Pearl and her five husbands live on, at least on this mountain."

  "I will, Grandma Pearl. You're not leaving us, are you?" She laughed lightly.

  I smiled. My hair was mostly white now, but still long and unbound, wild as my husbands loved it. But my family expected me to live forever.

  My pregnant granddaughter waddled away, and I sat. The paddle Jonas had so lovingly carved for me hung on the wall, an inscription carved into it. My husbands had given it to me one year as a memento: it bore my name and theirs. It hung beside the tapestry I'd made with five horsemen riding into the sunset. My men.

  "Soon," I whispered.

  I played with the blue scarf around my neck, and dozed a little, and then felt a little tug on my dress.

  "Grandma… I'm sad."

  "Why, Jewel?" I pulled my littlest granddaughter into my lap.

  "I like a boy and he likes me. But his brother likes me too, and they fight all the time. But I want to love them both." She pouted and I stroked her unruly curls from her face. "Perhaps you can, sweetheart."

  "But how?"

  "Love. Just love." I cuddled her close, reveling in the sweet armful and the truth I knew to my old, wise bones. "It takes every bit of love you have, and not a thimbleful less. But love is enough. It is always enough."
