CHAPTER FIFTEEN

THE NEXT MORNING, Vaughan got the call that the custom-built Harley Softail he’d been excitedly waiting on was finally done and ready to be his. The girls were in school and Kelly had headed out for Portland half an hour before so he had the time.

But he needed someone to go along with him to drive his car back. He dialed Ezra.

“Hey, stranger,” Ezra replied as he picked up.

“Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to disappear.”

“Are you moving forward? Things are good with you and Kelly?” His brother didn’t bother to rise to the bait and let Vaughan head down some guilt trip. Which, Vaughan supposed, was why Ezra had been his best friend since Vaughan had been old enough to crawl and toddle around following him.

“I have so much to tell you. The girls know about me and their mom. I moved into her bedroom last night. It’s not totally fixed, not by any stretch. But it’s going in a good direction. I wanted to see if you’d be available to go pick my Harley up. It’s ready. On the way over you can fill me in on your love life.”

“I wish I could. I’m leaving for a few days in the mountains. I have too much to get in place today to be gone that long. I’m sorry. We’ll hang out when I get back.”

But if you’re so busy, I’ll be over there within the hour to help. The girls are at school and then Kelly can get them from the bus stop. There’s a carnival tonight but that’s not until seven.”

“Don’t even think about it. Go get your bike. It’s a sunny day. Have a nice ride, help with dinner and go to the carnival. I don’t need you here. I’m working with Fletch.” John Fletcher was the foreman of the ranch. Though Ezra ran things and their father was still active, as well, Fletch had been with Sweet Hollow Ranch since pretty much the beginning. He knew it as well as Ezra did.

“I won’t keep you much longer because I know you’re busy. Birthday trip to the mountains with another couple sounds like you and Tuesday are doing well.”

“Yeah.”

Vaughan heard the smile in his brother’s tone.

“I like her. Kelly likes her, too. She talks to your girlfriend regularly. I dig that.”

“I was thinking yesterday that Tuesday really likes Kelly and pretty much that’s all it takes for Natalie to like Kelly. Mom sees that.”

Vaughan ran a hand through his hair. He had to deal with his mother. It needed to be
