Once they had the cowboys secured to their saddles with their various injuries, Jeremiah, Henry, and Angel freed the horses that had been stolen from her herd and then drove them through the craggy area and back to the main road. Once there, the horses could sense the direction the rest of the herd had gone and galloped that way on their own. Henry had each of the roughnecks tied together and to their saddle while he lead them in a line, with the rope attached to his saddle.

Angel’s heart fluttered in her chest when she looked over at him. Henry had done more than just help her get Jeremiah free, he’d saved her. How could she have ever done it on her own? She didn’t know if she would have been able to subdue Marcus on her own, much less all four of the cowboys. How had her childhood friend shown up exactly when he needed him? If he’d been a stranger to her, would he have risked so much to help? Yes. She knew he would have. It was his nature to help others; it always had been. Even though he was an occasional prankster and troublemaker, his motivations were good. Even in the frog incident when they were children, he’d said he was certain that his father and hers had to be bored listening to the lecturer drone on and on. He wanted to do something to make them smile. And it did, for a moment before all mayhem broke loose and people panicked. Then they both were punished for causing the disruption of the class.

The smallest of giggles bubbled up at the memory. Then the other memory came to the forefront of her mind and heat rushed to her cheeks. Her first kiss—her only kiss. It was little more than a peck, but he’d held her hands and kissed her on the forehead just before they said their last good-bye. She’d never forgotten. Had he?

She peered over at him again as he rolled his shoulder with his other hand resting on the joint. Had he been hurt at all? She’d forgotten to ask before. Now it felt a bit late to be asking. A lump had formed in her throat. She’d never found herself tongue-tied around him in the past, but it had been ten years since they’d last seen each other.

They’d both changed. A bit of a stubble peppered his chin. His jaw was larger, squarer than it had been before. There were lines around his eyes that hadn’t been there when they were younger. Still, he had the same smile and the sparkle of mischief when he’d winked at her earlier... Her heart fluttered again at the thought of it.

Soon they rejoined the herd and the other two cowboys and Cookie. Everyone peered over toward Henry and the four men he towed behind him.

Jeremiah cleared his throat. “These four ruffians had picked off a part of the herd. Mr. Granger here helped us out when we needed it, so we’re in his debt.
