Kaite rode into the yard of the famous Ponderosa ranch. She spotted
the hitching post, pointed Grey in the direction and dismounted her. She
walked to the front door and gently knocked. Katie glanced at the setting
sun, wishing she had gotten an earlier start.
Kaite turned her attention back to the porch as she heard the door open. "Yes?"
She smiled, "Hello, umm...I'm Katie Williams...I was wondering...ummm...if you know an Adam Cartwright?" She asked a man with whitened hair and the deep voice.
"Why, yes, I'm his father, Benjamin. Please come in. Adam is inside."
She stepped inside on a hand-woven rug. Katie looked up to see a man in all black seated at the table. Be motioned for her to proceed. "Adam?" Adam set down his fork, got up and turned around. He was surprised at what he saw a young woman with knee length blonde hair that was braided, and she wore a simple riding skirt, and knee length high boots and a shirt. "Katie?"
"You remember me?" He went up to her and gave her a huge hug and swung her around the room. He laughed and she giggled.
Ben stood in complete surprise. It was the first time in a long time that he'd heard Adam laugh.
Adam set Katie down, but still held her. "I didn't think you'd ever make it out here!" Ben cleared his throat. Adam glanced at him. "Oh, Pa, this is Katie, Katie this is my Pa." Ben just looked at Adam and the now watching Katie. "Oh, Pa, we met a few months ago when I went on that trip to California. We met at a little bookstore. Remember that time I was gone a whole month? Well we spent a lot of time together, talkin, goin' on picnics, and a couple of plays. I told her that she was welcome here anytime."
Ben smiled, "Of course she is."
"Pa, is it of, if I go to town? I'm goin' to take Amy out for dinner and I'll have Hop Sing make a special dinner for tomorrow night!"
Ben nodded. Adam looked towards Katie. "Do you want to change? We'll take the wagon."
"Yeah, I have a dress in my bag."
"You can change in my room."
"Thanks, Adam, Mr. Cartwright." She changed and they were on their way to town.
