Chapter 100

Sam stopped with his hand on the doorknob, but did not look back.

“Miguel and I will be returning to the haciendatomorrow. Please have all your things out of my bedroom by then. Since you and my father are such good friends, I am sure he will want you to stay on. Carlos can find you a bed in the servants’ quarters.”

Sam left the room, closing the door behind him with a bang. He leaned against the wall, his fists clenched, his jaw rigid. He could hear muted laughter coming from the room behind him. He took several deep shuddering breaths, trying to regain composure. After a moment, he made his way downstairs and out onto the street. Walking determinedly toward the cantinawhere Storm was tied, he met Manuel and Rafael.

“Did you find Ramón?” Manuel asked, smirking at him.

“I am sure you were happy to meet Miguel,” Rafael said.

Both men broke into laughter.

Sam ignored them. He mounted Storm and rode out of town.
