Quincy's Woman Intimate Strangers Wolf's Tender Tupelo Gold Five Card Stud Trouble in Disguise Breed True Whispering Grace From the Inside Flap While Comfort gorged her senses on this gruff man who treated her so gently, Hamilton pulled a handkerchief from his shirt pocket and carefully unfolded it. "Thought of you when I ran across this in a Wichita mercantile." He handed her a vial of amber liquid with a wooden stopper sealing it closed. "What is it?" she asked, tilting the glass container to watch the viscous gold flow from one end of the tube to the other. She didn't really care if it had any purpose more than being lovely. He'd thought of her while he was gone. Relief warmed her cold bones, assuring her she wasn't completely without friends. "Open it," he urged. She removed the stopper and discovered beads of amber clinging to the wooden dipper attached to the underside of the lid. "Take a taste." When Comfort looked at him doubtfully, he took the dipper from her and dabbed a drop on her mouth. Tentatively she touched her tongue to the bead, then licked it from her lips, closing her eyes to better analyze the flavor. She inhaled, amazed at how the subtle essence carried a delicate fragrance as well as a hint of cinnamon. The underlying tang made her think of fecund forests with exotic flowers perfuming the air. "Is it honey?" she asked. "It's called Tupelo Gold. Honeybees in the swamps along the Apalachicola River valley produce it.  It's sweeter than regular honey, and more precious than gold." He brushed her cheek with the back of his hand and added in a low growl, "Like you."
