Tombstone. 

This morning I rode up to the Apache village and waved to a Native man who was there. We didn’t talk long and I headed back to Black Diamond. 

Black Diamond. 

I rode to Diamond and saw Bree at the cantina. She was making cake and I sat down and had some with her. We talked about the books and how it was therapeutic to get things written down. We talked about the shooting contest in Pearce and how restless I was feeling. 

The man from the village rode over then and we introduced ourselves.  He said his name was Pat and talked about Black Diamond. I told them I was singing in Bisbee soon. When it was time to get ready, I headed over to the Stock Exchange to get warmed up.

Bisbee. 

I walked into the saloon and there were already people joining before I started playing. Thomas arrived and took his place behind the bar as I started to warm up and then I sang for the group. The gig went well enough and then Thomas and I headed back home.

Tombstone. 

Tonight, I went in to the dance at Kate’s and greeted everyone, going over to the bar as Aly made me a drink of whiskey. She said that she’d moved back to Pearce and that it felt good to be back. I told her I couldn’t wait to see Alex again and they said that he looked good again, which made me happy to hear. It was wonderful to relax with everyone and reminisce about old times. We talked about some of the outlaws who had come and gone and about how Aly’s baby should be born soon. We continued to dance and then Alex came in and it was so good to see him again. We talked about their new home and then Thomas came into the saloon. He was thrilled to see Alex again as well and we had such a good time reuniting. After a while, Thomas and I said goodnight and headed home.
