Chapter 18

After a delicious lunch, Kelly and James spent Senior’s nap time out in the stable. James rode Midnight round and round the corral while Chad and Will gave him pointers to refine his natural riding skills. Kelly hung over the fence and watched, soaking in the atmosphere and Will’s presence. When James was finished riding, he helped Chad brush down Midnight while Kelly walked outside with Will. He had to get back to Triple Creek, but he promised to be back in time for dinner.

He loaded Dodger into his truck and left her with a smile. As he drove off, Kelly acknowledged to herself that her feelings for him had grown much stronger in the past couple of days, and her earlier conclusion that it was merely a strong physical attraction no longer seemed quite so valid.

The rest of the afternoon passed quickly, too quickly as far as Kelly was concerned. Their time in Texas was winding down and both she and James were feeling it. Her little boy grew more morose as the day went on, and he asked several times if they could stay for just a little while longer.

Finally Kelly had the idea to let him call and talk to Pops and Gran. James became animated again as he told his grandparents about the things he had done at the ranch, and they told him they couldn’t wait to see him, as well as all of his photos and videos. The anticipation of being able to share everything about his trip with them seemed to cheer James up considerably. It was the only reason he was excited about going home, but it was better than nothing.

By the time they all sat down for dinner, Kelly could no longer hold off the dread she felt at the thought of leaving, and it took a lot of effort to hide her sadness. She was seated beside Will, and it was all she could do not to lean up against him and sob. Never in a million years would she have ever believed one week could wreak such havoc in her life.

After they finished dessert, Chad suggested that little James go out and play catch with Dodger one last time. The little boy eagerly ran outside, and then Kelly realized that Chad, Amy, Senior and Maggie were all looking at her with weird, hopeful expressions.

She frowned. “What’s going on?”

Senior cleared his throat. “Amy has something she wants to talk to you about, Kelly.”

Amy nodded. “This is going to sound really wild, Kelly, and it’s so crazy how it all happened. I would call it a coincidence, but honestly, I think it’s more than that.”

Kelly glanced at Will, but he looked as confused as she felt, so obviously he wasn’t in on the mystery.

Amy began to explain. “You know I went into town this morning to meet a friend for coffee. Her name is Yolanda Crowley, and we’ve been friends since high school. And now Yolanda is a teacher at the high school here, a science teacher, in fact.
