Chapter 12

She's

Jesse and Ryan left early the next morning to visit his mother. Mrs. Morris lived in a beautiful mansion that sat on the top of Knob hill. Ryan told her that his father built it just for Ryan's mother. Once they entered the house Jesse was still gaping. The inside was gorgeous but there also seemed to be some loneliness and longing that seemed to linger in the air.

"Mother, I would like to introduce you to Ms. Jesse Winegardner."

"Hello dear."

"Hello Mrs. Morris."

"Oh come on now, if we're going to become such good friends you should call me Emma, and Ryan could you leave us so we can bond."

"Of course mother."

"Now dear why do you not have any marriage interest in my boy?"

"Well you see Emma..."

"Wait, now let me guess, Cub Conlon am I right."

"Yes Emma I'm just not over him yet."

"Ah, well let me tell you something, there's always someone like Cub around. I knew of one when I was younger. He was gentle, kind, romantic."

"But it didn't work out?"

"No, but then I met Mr. Morris and I've been content ever since. That's why I think you should marry my boy. All Mr. Conlon is going to do is hurt your feelings, where my boy can give you all the love in the world. What do you say?"

"How can anyone say no to a sweet woman like yourself."

"Good. Ryan you can come in now!"

"Well did my mother reel you into anything?"

"Yes, I will marry you Ryan. I love you."

"I love you too Jesse."

In a day, news spread all over of Jesse's engagement to Ryan. They were leaving after Jesse's last performance at the opera house. Cub finally realized, this time he had lost her for good.

'She looks into my eyes and I'm alive again,

And when she says goodbye I just die again,

That's when my restlessness begins,

Please don't let it win,

I'm so tired again,

But underneath the haze,

One thing still remains the same,

She's the only love I've known,

And now she's gone away,

She's the light that brought me to the edge,

Will I ever love again?'

It was getting stuffy in the saloon it seemed to Cub. So he went out to walk and clear his head. But everywhere he went it reminded him of Jesse. He thought about the time when they were younger and Cub kissed her for the first time. That was the only time he seemed to be happy, when he had Jesse in his arms.

' She walked into my life and my world was still,

She reached into my soul and all my doubts were killed,

That's when my loneliness subsided,

She gave me the will,

I could fight it,

But nothing can erase the one thing that remains the same,

She's the only love I've known,

And now she's gone away,

She's the light that brought me to the edge,

Will I ever love again?

So just tell me what I should do,

I left everything for you,

And I can't hardly breathe,

Cause I know I lost you from my world,

From my,

She's the only love I've known,

Now she's gone away,

She's the light that brought me to the edge,

Will I ever love again?

She's the only love I've known,

Now she's gone away,

She's the light that brought me to the edge,

Will I ever love again?

Cub decided to head back to the saloon so he could get his gang ready for the city's annual talent show.
