CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE “Drew, Drew, our lives have been lived eo far apart. There are so many thing* about each other we don't even know." "Does that matter?” Gloria shook her bead. “Not now. Nothing matters, now that I’ve heard yon tell Tofio you loved me. When you said that, I felt something inside me bursting with jcy, and with pride that it should be you. Tell me again you love me, Drew, and IU never be afraid." “IU love you always." His arm* ewept around her. “Don’t ever be afraid.” Hie Uno moved through the softness of her hair. “And don’t ever leave me.” “I never wilL You know I never will." He felt the racing of her heart against his own. the soft, unbelievable warmth of her line on his lips, the eager vibrancy of her body a* she stood on tip-toe, raising her face to his. Time ceased. A new world had been bom for them, a world doser to ecstasy than Drew had ever known or dreamed, bringing a tenderness, a compelling desire to shield and to protect this tall, darkhaired girl ia his arms, to give her this same measure of inexpressible happiness that she was giving him. And something of that hope and that aspiration he tried to voice to her while be held her and the moon touched the rim of the foothills and the singing of the frogs grew still. The rising mists told him it was late, but he dreaded to break the spell. “It's our lint night on earth,” be told her, “the first night of our lives that really matters." Halfreluctantly he added, “Tomorrow Hi eee your father. It's better that we tell him now.” But she answered, “Not yet. Later." As if suddenly cold, she moved doser within hi* arms; then, smiling, she added, “But you had better tell Mr. Cutter I’m not going to Aruba." It was hour* afterward when they climbed up from the river. The truck outside the shack told them Molly and Spud had returned, and on the porch they found Molly, still sewing beneath the light She looked up at them and smiled. “Just bow two people ean go swimming without getting wet—” Drew laid hi* hand on her shoulder. “Molly, 1 want to tail you something.” “Ao if you had to! With the two of you looking as if you’d beau eu a round trip to heaven itself.” She took the girl’s face ia both her hands. “May the Mother of God watch ever you, dear." Flinging both arms about the older woman, Gloria kissed her. "Molly,” aba whispered, “1 levo hi *." • “Os course you de." Molly’s Mu* eyes were softer still, and sems thins like compn—inn wm in her voice. "Love him all you can. dear It’s only while you’re in love that lifejnakes sense. And now you’d Alosm with Mol'y, Drew seated himself on the step beside her. until with her quiet smile, the woman naked, “Well. Drew, what new?” “1 want to make her happy. Molly,” he answered. "The one thing I want most out of life is to make her happy, aiwaya. How darn a maa de that?" “No mac *sur has." tbs woman answered. "You’d better got mm sf

those fine ideas out of your bead, I Drew.” He looked up in surprise. "You’re angry." "No, I’m not angry. I’m thinking of her. You know. Drew, it might have been better if you’d never told her." "Why?” "Look at it thie way: Yotfrv arising Gloria '■» put all her happiness and all her future into your hands She’s burning her bridges behind her—and what have you to offer beyond hopes aad promises? Oh, I know you'll be good and kind to her, but at heart you're a gambler. You can win or you can lose, and you can keep on going; but I don’t want to think of a firl like Gloria living from band to mouth in the oil camp* of the world. “Suppose that well doesn't er>mc through? Suppose Frans Alter ruins you? You’ll owe money that will take you years to pay. People will remember you as the man who didn’t make good, and that won't help your reputation as an oil explorer. You’ll be looking for a Job, and they’re not always easy to get It’s one thing to starve youriulf, Drew—it’s a far more bitter thing to have someone you love hungry and in want, and you not able to help h#r •Drew, boy, I’m praying you never see the day when you’ll be wondering in your heart what right you had to ask any woman to marry you." The low vole* eeased, end Molly sst looking out toward the river, while memories esme flooding in upon Drew—all she had gone through because of her own love for Spud, all the years thst had left her tired aad worn. And m that moment he saw bow right ah* was, aad how vastly significant that well had become. He had to succeed. Failure now might asesn years of privation for the woman he loved L'aconsc.ously he raised bis head. Like an audible symbol came the steady nimble of the drill, and he knew that from now on that sound would hold for him new meaning, new promise Down there, buried deep beneath the slow accumulation of a million years, might lie the answer ta all hia dreams Somewhere down there lay—what? And from that day en, as if a malicious destiny had been waiting tor the time when success meant so much to Drew, a train of mishap* began to alow down th* work aad raise the carta. At the four-tW-■and-fuot level Sergei twisted off • drill stem, aad it took a tong. ted» oua job of fishing to get it out. A week later Cutter telephoned the ominous news that the cost of materials waa going up; and Drew spent moot of his remaining fund* contracting for pipes, casing, and fuel oil. But ths crowning calamity was the Hood. With the dry season veil along. Drew had felt safe in beating his derrick a few feet back from th* Rio Bravo.
