Raylan had always been one of those serious kids. Liked watching things more than getting himself down in the mud, playing around with others his own age. Accept games like Cowboys and Indians – that sort the kid was all gun-ho about. Of course, he always wanted to be the Cowboy and tended to play the game a mite rougher than most kids were wont to.
Sometimes Helen thought that was why Sue was so happy when Boyd’s mama started bringing her son over.
Boyd never minded playing Indian. He’d be bouncing onto his tippy-toes while Sue put pant on his face. Dress down to his britches, take of his shoes and go running into the woods, Raylan chasing after him.
Those two.
There’d been a chase going on there long before Raylan left and came back a law-man. When they’d gotten older, moved on from Cowboy and Indian she’d wondered sometimes who was really chasing who.
Boyd had never liked it much when Raylan’s attention went elsewhere.
