by VST

Shortly after the beginning of what might have been Season 5, Victoria and John have words over a touchy subject. A romantic tale told in 16 drabbles of exactly 100 words each. Complete!

Drabble 8:

A wisp of dust rose above a distant rise. Minutes later, two riders approached.

"Brother John, we need to talk."

"Buck, if it's what I think it is, we don't."

Mano countered, "Your quarrel is really upsetting Victoria."

John's stare under the brim of his hat spoke volumes. "Victoria has some strange ideas that she needs to let go of."

"Maybe, but they're important to her," disagreed Buck. "Least listen to 'em."

Nodding, John's frown deepened. "We'll work it out together. By ourselves. Now, get back to work."

"Aye, big brother."

"Sí."

They galloped away in a cloud of dust.
