Summary
Dutch and Hosea attend Mayor Alexander Rudolph of Oakdale’s baby shower his wife is hosting. Things seem to go awry and they manage to escape by the skin of their teeth.
This is technically a continuation of my previous work, “Cool Cool River” but it can be read separately. (I’m old and can’t figure out how to make a series)

Summary
Hosea took a deep breath, the fresh air crisper up here than back at Horseshoe Overlook, beautiful as it was. From the top of the hill, Hosea could see the sun sparkling off Iron lake, the distant, snowy peaks of the West Grizzlies, and much closer, a herd of bison slowly grazing below. It was a bit of a ride to get here, but by God was it worth it.

Summary
Hosea had never really cared for feeling small before Dutch, but he finds he doesn't mind the inches he's lost on his height beneath him. Maybe it was that easiness he saw in him the potential for, or something in the way he looked at him over the first campfire that said decide. He lacked threat. He lacked authority. How funny it is to know he feels this way about Dutch van der Linde, but— a man always sees who he knew, not who exists.

Summary
Hosea's always been a nice looking feller, but to see him so clearly — that is, behind a layer of gauze that made Dutch's taste for him more approachable than ever — had drawn sharp lines along his features, even when softened with product. He looks better in a Stetson, always, but there was a gentleness about him that kept him from catching in Dutch's throat.

Summary
“You brought the boy back, Dutch. And that’s after you stood up to the Pinkertons, and every single person in that camp was ready to die for you. You’re a hero.” Hosea leaned into him, close enough for Dutch to feel his breath on his face. “You’re my hero.”
Their first night in Shady Belle, Dutch and Hosea sleep together for the first time in a long time. Fresh off the adrenaline of Saint Denis, they can’t help but celebrate the way lovers do.
