Water in the Wilderness

excerpt

Tyne gave him a brief smile. “Thank you, Mr. Tournquist. I can’t tell you how grateful I am.”
He waved away her thanks. “One other thing – I’m going to Medicine Hat tomorrow morning to look around, especially in the area where you say Morley was heading when he left home. You’ll have to give me the details.”
Tyne sat up straight in her chair. “I’ll do better than that – I’ll go with you.”
He chuckled. “Why am I not surprised? But are you sure? What about the children you’re looking after?”
“I’ll check with Aunt Millie but I know she’ll be happy to stay with them. I’ll be ready in the morning whenever you want to leave.”
He looked at her for a long moment. “That’s my Miss Milligan,” he said with emphasis on the ‘Miss’.
Tyne laughed as they got up from the table. He had not forgotten that the first time they met, on the private ward of the Holy Cross, she had forbidden him to call her by her first name.
