Come take a wild, romantic ride through the streets of Gold Dust:
…Sarah decided she really would get out of the tub and get dressed. She spoke to Anne as she toweled off.

“Anne?” There was still no answer. “Is everything all right?”
Alarmed, she reached for her money belt, startled to find it wasn’t there….She stuck her head through the curtain, wet hair flapping about her face, but Anne was nowhere to be seen.

She snatched up her discarded clothes, flung back the curtain, and dashed from the room.
It was a short dash. Sarah collided with someone, her face crushed into a man’s shirt. She had a heady impression of a firm, muscular chest and the smell of clean clothes and strong soap. Jolted from her panic, she pushed herself away and looked up into a strong, youthful face full of confidence and determination.
Startled, she recognized the eyes, even though the face was now clean-shaven and wearing a healthy, freshly-scrubbed flush, and thick, wild hair had been tamed by a neat haircut.
