“All right. What are you doing with her?” King got right to the point.

“Wow, that’s a new record. I don’t think your ass even hit that seat before the words flew out of your mouth.” Wheeler took longer to sit, lowering himself with one foot jutting out in front of him.

“You didn’t say a damn word yesterday when I was telling you how worried my wife was about Aria.”

“No, and I’m sorry for it. She asked me not to tell.”

“And again, I’ll ask what you’re doing with her.”

“Nothin’. I gave her a place to hide out a coupla days, and she helped with chores and did some things around the house too.”

King set the beer cap against the arm of the chair, which was scarred from doing that very thing, and popped the top off. “Is that why you can’t keep your eyes off her?”

Wheeler groaned. “That’s such a common thing to say. That a red-blooded man can’t keep his eyes off a beautiful woman.”

King snorted and brought the bottle to his lips. “Well, it’s true. I’ve never seen you look at someone like that before is all.”

Because he hadn’t. But he wasn’t about to admit to his buddy that he was smitten with her. He turned the topic to the horses and how the training had been going since he broke his foot. King filled him in on all the idiosyncrasies of running short-handed, and they discussed the cattle and how Schmitty and King would need to move them alone to greener pastures soon.

“Man, I wish I could ride. Don’t see why I can’t just let the foot dangle when I ride.” Wheeler swigged his beer.

“You gonna rope your crutches onto the saddle too? It’s only six weeks, Wheeler. Give yourself the time to heal.”

“Maybe I can use the ATV. At least feed and check the herd. Be of some damn use.”

King contemplated him. “Not a bad idea. Let me think on it. I don’t want you to have a setback because you’re working too soon.”

“If you ever get in this position, and I hope you don’t, you’ll know how damn hard it is.”

“Not as hard with a pretty brunette around, though.”

With a shake of his head, he said, “You never let up, do you? She’s been a damn good help with Gusto. Knew just what to do for his leg, and without her, I would have struggled a lot more.”

“That’s how you knew she’s a Montana girl.” King’s statement told Wheeler he’d just put two and two together.

“Apologized already, didn’t I? Stop sounding like a whiny little brother who didn’t know there were cookies till they were all gone.”

King huffed a laugh and eyed him. “So she’s a cookie. And I’d be the big brother.”

“Dude, shut up.” Wheeler grinned and took a sip. Thank God nothing more was said, because the ladies came outside then, pushing through the screen door. Wheeler started to get up, driven by the manners his momma had bred in him, and King was already up and ushering his wife to his seat.
