    Summary

    Clint is about to move on when his eyes drift up to the lettering at the top of the window.

    FREE PASSAGE TO THE WEST!

    Clint knows that the circus folk mock him — call him too trusting, too soft-hearted — but even he knows nothing in this life comes free. The words puzzle him, and he reads them again carefully to make sure he hasn’t made a mistake.

    His eyes are drawn to one posting at the very bottom corner, different from the others. This one is sun-faded and starting to yellow, curling at the corners. Clint crouches down, brow furrowing and lips moving as he sounds out the unfamiliar words.

    Western Man Seeking a Husband — I am a kind and unassuming man of good financial means seeking a helpmate and companion. I have lost my arm in the service of our Union, but am otherwise free from disease. I am not particular as to looks, but am seeking an individual of equal youth and vivacity with whom I can share my affection and devotion. I am a man of quiet habits, moderate temperament, and kind disposition and would seek the same in my husband.

    Summary

    ”You’re following me,” Nicki announced when she dropped into the empty chair across from him.

    ”If I was following you,” Bucky raised his mug in the hopes that burnt coffee would drown out the sweet petrichor smell of her, “You wouldn’t see me.”

    Her lips twitched up, “Sure. But you can’t resist having one of our little chats. I’m too charming.”
