This clip from A Rancher’s Pride does double-duty: it reveals more about the hero’s four-year-old daughter and teaches you a bit of sign language:

As she neared the Double S, Kayla eased her foot up on the gas pedal.  Slowing to a crawl, she almost unwillingly glanced toward the front of the building at the sign Sam had made.  Creative and quirky and wonderful.  All things that the man himself was not.

From the back seat, Becky squealed.  She had seen the café, too.  In the rearview mirror, Kayla saw her tap the fingertips of her right hand against the palm of her left.  Her eyebrows climbed toward her hairline.

Cookie? Becky asked.

And the message said, obviously, she wanted one.

We had all those sweet pancakes at breakfast this morning, Kayla told her, signing the sentence in the language her niece would understand.

And Becky did.  Still, she ran those same fingertips she’d used to sign “cookie” down the length of her T-shirt.  Hungry.  And she grinned.

Kayla rolled her eyes.  She had always made it a point not to spoil the child.  Not too much, anyway.  But Becky sure knew what buttons to push!
