After dark Slade moves Trisha to his house to await the arrival of their baby.
Best part of story, including ending: I like this story. Slade trying to protect Trisha whether by fighting her attackers or leaving her because he thinks she will be safer.

Best scene in story: My favorite scene is when Slade and Tiger are in the jeep trying to get to Trisha when the house she is in attacked on Reservation.

Opinion about the main character: I did not like Slade just leaving Homeland for Reservation without talking to Trisha.
