"I Come With the Children or Not at All" She Said—The Rancher Stood Up and Said, "Set Four Places"

She came to that ranch with nothing to bargain with but her terms, and she laid them down plain: the children come too, or there's no deal at all. She braced for the door, for the cold turn of a man who'd wanted a wife and not a houseful of someone else's young ones. Instead the rancher rose from his chair, looked at the little faces behind her skirts, and told the table to set four places. In a hard country where mouths to feed could break a man, he chose them all in a single breath. What she expected to be the end of the conversation turned out to be the start of something neither of them had the words for yet. Some men measure a woman by what she'll give up.
