February 13, 1870

Colorado Springs. 

I walked into Colorado and smiled when I saw Chelsea talking with Selena. We talked about the Natives moving out and we talked about the weather. I walked over to the gazebo at the other side of town and talked with a man from Mexico about writing. I found my way back to Chels’ place and sat on the patio and wrote while Chels read the newspaper.

Georgetown. 

I walked downstairs from my apartment this evening and smiled when I saw Tom in my office. “Well hey there!” 

“Hey! I figured you would be here.” 

“Well I was upstairs and heard movement down here so I thought I’d check it out,” I smiled. “Was glad to see you! How was your day?” 

“Another slow one.” 

We waved to Mimi outside and talked to her about the clinic. We talked about the dance on Friday and how Tom was going to be taking me and how she was expecting to see someone there. 

“Well Tom should we head to the office and see what trouble Chet’s gotten himself into?” I asked him. 

Mimi asked what was going on with the Navajo village in the next town over and about the Cherokee leaving, but I told her I didn’t know much about it. 

We looked around for Chet and found him near the office. We went inside and talked about the days’ events and went to the saloon for a drink.
