blessed that they were finding that friendship again.

All the Daltons had embraced her, to her shock. They
had welcomed her into the family, had instantly seemed
to forget her years of antipathy and anger.
The first time Jake had taken her to dinner at the
ranch, Marjorie had fussed and cried and hugged her
close and his niece and nephews had jumped all over
her. Tanner and Cody thought the fact that she could take
off her prosthesis and wave it around was just about the
coolest thing in the world.
