Mail Order Bride: A Clean Western Cowboy Romance (Albert & Angela’s Story)

Synopsis: A mail order bride travels to Wichita, Kansas, to become wife of a detective. Immediately thrown into a murder mystery, they form a strong partnership, but it’s tested as they begin to gather clues about the case.
It was noon and the sun beat down on the streets in Wichita as Albert kicked up his boots on the bench by the train station. He was expecting the Kansas City line to be late, but had no idea when it would arrive. There was always a chance it would be late. He had his new pocket watch out, a gift from the last client who had hired him to find out who was stealing cattle. Albert had wished the weather wasn’t the usual dry Kansas summer; the dust was getting in his mouth again.
She was supposed to be on the train. At least the telegram he’d received said she would be arriving on the noon train from Kansas City. But you couldn’t trust the time keepers in these parts. They tended to use the town clock from where ever they were sending. It wasn’t too many people who could afford a good Waltham watch and Albert lucked out when the rancher who needed his services tossed him the one he was carrying as payment. The railroads, however, were supposed to have people who kept those things standardized, so Albert expected more out of them.
As he was about to go to telegraph office and find out if there had been any messages sent from her, Albert heard the whistle of the engine coming down the line. He stood up and walked to the edge of the platform. Standing next to him was a family of six: A Mexican farmer who was expecting his son from medical school out east. At least, that is why Albert thought he was there. His Spanish was always muy mal, but he could pick out stray words from serving with the border scouts. It always helped to know a little espanol in case you ended up on the wrong side of the Rio Grande.
The train pulled into the station at three minutes after twelve noon according to his pocket watch, but Albert might have forgotten to wind it on the way to the station. The important thing was that the train was there and with it the lady he was supposed to meet. They’d been corresponding for the past six months before coming to an agreement.
Albert was there to pick her up from the station and had the hansom cab sitting out back waiting for him. The driver wasn’t going to keep his horse sitting there all day, so he was glad to see the train roll in close to the agreed time. If it had missed or been delayed, the driver would’ve charged him fare for the entire day, something which would have put a huge strain on Albert’s budget.
He turned and saw a man walk up to the platform who must have been as wide as he was tall. The pilgrim weighed at least three hundred pounds and had a woman with him who towered over the man. Albert didn’t see a ring on either of them, but they were a couple and waiting for someone. The woman didn’t even have a hat on and the poor guy was holding onto her like he was terrified she was going to bolt at any minute. He could only speculate what kind of children they would produce, but was sure they would be hefty.
The train rolled to
