She didn't need to say she would try and handle things with Wade on her own first, especially if it led to an actual smack down. There would be so much pleasure in that, she wouldn't want to share. "Go get some food and I'll catch up with you soon. That's a promise."
She waited until he was gone before finishing her drying of Lakota. Once the sun made the horse a little more comfortable, she'd be saddled and taken for a run. it would do both of them a lot of good.
