BRADY SIPPED HIS beer and watched through his window as Katie circled the old greenhouse, taking photos from different angles, the goat shadowing her every move. Every now and again, the little nanny would stop and stare longingly at his truck, and then trot off after Katie.

The goat was actually kind of cute—when her feet were on the ground where they belonged. Brady pushed back his chair and eased his injured foot into his boot, glad to be done with the moccasins. Picking hay out of his socks was no fun.

His day was done, so he’d see what Katie was up to and if she needed help. It’s what any ranch employee might do. What any friend would do.

He wished he only felt like her friend, but the fact of the matter was that he could not stop thinking about that kiss. Mistake? Maybe. But there was a part of him that would never regret having kissed her.

His phone dinged and he picked it up to see an answer to the email he’d sent Chet Jacobs, his agent/accountant saying there was no problem with wiring the money to Larson Stock Company. Chet just needed a few days’ notice.

Sounds good, Brady texted back before setting his phone aside and glancing out the window as he put on his other boot. Katie disappeared around the back of the greenhouse, where the lumber stacked inside of the deteriorating structure hid her from view. The goat peeked around the corner, almost like she knew Brady was watching, then disappeared with a dismissive flick of her tail. Yeah. Definitely cute.

He let himself out of the house and was met halfway to the greenhouse by the goat, who gave him a friendly head butt before following him to where Katie was taking photos. She glanced up as he came around the building, and it might have been his imagination, but it seemed like her cheeks flushed at the sight of him.

Good flush or bad?

Katie pushed her hair over her shoulder with one hand and it fell like a wave of dark silk. “You’re moving better.”

“Yeah. I am.” The swelling had gone down, and the pain was finally letting up. He hooked his thumbs in his pockets. “Big plans?”

“I hope.” She patted the metal upright next to her. “The frame is still intact and seems sturdy enough, despite the weather. I’m taking pictures for Nick so that he can advise me.”

“You’re not waiting until he gets home?”

“Nope.” There was a gleam of determination in her blue eyes. “I want the area enclosed before the snow flies, and even though Nick hopes to start moving back by Thanksgiving, everything hinges on the sale of his business. And you know something will come up at the last minute to put a monkey wrench into things.”

“It’s always good to think positive.”

Katie laughed. “Just being realistic.”

“What are you going to do once you get it re-enclosed?”

She tucked her phone into her pocket. “I’m going to become an herb farmer. This will hopefully be the first of many greenhouses.
