    Summary

    The first time Héctor left, Imelda had been sure he'd come back. The second time he leaves, she's certain he won't.

     

    With no way of knowing his picture would be placed on the ofrenda, Héctor says his goodbyes and disappears rather than burden his family as he withers away. Which is fine, Imelda tells herself. Just fine. Until somehow she finds herself at the bank of the river, staring into Shantytown, determined to find her husband and bring him home.

    Summary

    The first time Calamity Jane ever thought about kissing someone was when she saw Adelaid Adams dancing and singing in front of her dressing room mirror.

    She didn't think of kissing at first, naturally. She had to deal with the feeling she had been thrown from a bolting horse first, something she hadn't experienced since she was four years old. The feeling of flying and plummeting, taking split seconds and at the same time almost an eternity. The impact sending her breath and thought far away, until there was only shaken bones and a splitting head, and one coherent thought:

    She's the most beautiful thing I ever seen.

    Katie and Calam spend the night in a hotel while waiting for the Deadwood Stage, and things unfold a little differently.

    Summary

    Don and Kathy would move in together. They would have a dog or two and then inevitably, a small parade of adorable little brats who would call him Uncle Cosmo, and they would spend less and less time with him, not on purpose but busy with the rest of their lives, and ultimately Cosmo would learn to make his peace with it because he’d have no other choice and he would have to try to move on and not live too much in his memories. He could picture it so clearly, he figured if the songwriting gig with Monumental didn’t pan out, he could always return to the backwater circuit with a new act: The Amazing Cosmo of the Cosmos—ladies and gentlemen, he sees the future, he reads the stars, he silently pines for his best married pal and all the while tap dancing!

    Don and Kathy inviting him along on their honeymoon, though—that part was a surprise.
