Yes, another chapter. I will finish this one this year! And of course, I'll most likely post other stuff as well...

Eve was feeling awful. She didn't want to lose the woman she loved but it seemed like that was going to happen. Several hours of crying later, she realized Melody might not be far out.
"Where are you rushing off to, young lady?" Eve's father called after her.
"I'm going to look for Melody!" Might as well be honest with him. If everything worked out, she might not even come back.
Carrying Melody's things and a few of her own, she went on the horse a few miles into town. There was a stagecoach stop, and a tavern near it, so she stopped in there.
"Hey there, you're the Chambers girl, aren't you?" the bartender asked, noticing her.
"I am. Was there a Melody... (she checked in Melody's things) Marron that passed through here?"
"Could have been. What did the lady look like?"
Eve stopped and went into a whole loving description, like one might do for a piece of art. "She has brown hair... blue eyes. She's slim, and puts out one side to the other when she walks. Her laugh is perfect, just at the pitch to be admirable. And when she looks at you, you can tell if she dislikes you... or if she'll love you forever." Eve started blushing, she had not meant to go on so long.
"Brown hair, blue eyes, slim? Yeah, she came through. She took the last stagecoach to Dallas. The next one leaves early tomorrow." Oh, well. A few coins for the inn wouldn't set her back, but she wondered about a large city. Could she find her love?
