Chapters 22 and 23:
Of course, word spreads fast about a handsome stranger with a silver saddle looking for Miss Love, so Grandpa shows up and greets Mr. McAlister, who eventually leaves the saddle and heads back to Texas. Miss Love immediately confesses to Grandpa that she was once engaged to Mr. McAllister and Grandpa offers to get his marriage annulled if Miss Love still wants to marry Mr. McAllister. (Miss Love does not mention the kissing, but Will is worried that Miss Effie Belle saw and will tell the whole town.)
Though crying hysterically, Miss Love finally decides to stay because she really does realize that Mr. McAllister is a philanderer and Grandpa says he will send Will to "Cud'n Jake's" to get her a horse for her saddle to "take her mind off Mr. Texas."
