JULY 5, 1860
Rachel saw Prudence coming out of the general store. She had just delivered a shipment to Cody and Javier. Rachel decided to ask her if she wanted to have lunch with her.
Rachel walked up to her saying, "Hello Prudence. Would you care to join me for lunch at the hotel?"
Looking up from feeding her horses some carrots she replies, "I would love to. I�m hungry. It�s been over five hours since I had breakfast." Prudence grabbed her purse out of the wagon and followed Rachel to the hotel.
They were led to the table and they gave the waitress their order. Rachel was amazed at how well Prudence was doing with her freight company.
Prudence asked, "How are things out at the station?"
"They�re good. Busy as always." Rachel replied.
They sat there talking for a few hours. Then Rachel said, "I better be getting back before the boys destroy the place."
Prudence also needed to get back on the road again, so she followed Rachel outside. Rachel mounted Streak and waved to her friend as she rode back towards the station.
