Lee rode into the station after a long run. She was tired, but she needed to talk to Lou. She wanted to ask Lou what she thought about the bordello, and if she thought the boys would go there.
After putting up Black. Lee went looking for Lou but not finding her, she decided to clean up before she did anything else. Walking out of the bunkhouse she saw Noah sitting on the coral fence. Walking over she said, "Hey Noah, what�s on your mind?"
Noah looked up and said, "Hey Lee. I was just thinking about that article in the paper that says Ivy wrote it. I know in my heart she didn�t write it, but others believe she did. I don't know how to help her with this."
Climbing up and sitting on the fence next to him she said, "Ivy knows you believe her right?" Noah nodded.
Lee continued, "As long as she knows and you believe her then what the others think won�t matter. So I wouldn't worry about it."
Noah looked at Lee and knew she was right. Jumping down from the fence he said, "You know Jimmy is a hard man to get close to, but you are doing a good job of breaking down his walls that he put up." After saying that Noah walked away.
Lee sat there for a minute. She knew Noah was right. Jimmy was slowly opening up to her. Jumping down and heading towards the barn to do her chores, Lee knew with time Jimmy would have all his walls down.
