Chapter 3

“I think I may have pushed her a little too far,” Brae said, looking at Sadie who was sitting next to her on the bank.

“Got another one, girl!” Brae yelled, her excitement spreading to Sadie, who jumped up and ran over to the edge of the water, her eyes fixated on the line of Brae’s fishing pole. “Think she’ll forgive me if we fix her a nice dinner with fresh Trout?” she asked Sadie as she reeled the fish in.

Sadie was too busy jumping around and barking at the flopping fish to pay attention to Brae.

“Hold on, girl. I gotta get it off the hook and on the stringer.” Brae shook her head and laughed when Sadie turned and barked at her in protest.

“Well, we definitely have enough for dinner. Think your mama’s up yet?” she asked, as she laid her pole on the ground and pulled the stringer of fish out of the water. “Probably not, so I don’t think it’ll hurt if we just chill for a few more minutes before heading back, plus I still need to fill our water jugs.”

After Brae put the stringer of fish back in the water, Sadie sidled up next to her and then laid her head on Brae’s shoulder. She looked up at Brae with big, brown eyes and whined.

“You are so damn adorable,” she said patting Sadie on the head. “No wonder she fell in love with you.”

Brae leaned back on the ground, tucking her arms under her head. Her thoughts turned to Lyndsey as she watched several grey clouds roll by. She still couldn’t get over how attractive the woman was.

“What does Ms. Carlisle do for a living?” she asked, turning her head slightly to look at Sadie. “I bet she’s an executive of some large company or maybe a chef.”

Brae thought about how she had acted earlier and how badly she had treated Lyndsey. She knew she was being rude but every time a nice thought came into her head, images of Olivia flashed through her mind and she was unable to stop her smart-ass comments. She was taking it all out on Lyndsey, a woman who hadn’t done a thing to her.

“I owe her an awful big apology,” she groaned as she got up off the ground. She was terrible at saying, ‘I’m sorry’ and it was going to kill her to say it now. Rolling thunder in the distance provided the incentive to get a move on. She put the folding fishing rod in the small knapsack and then filled up the two collapsible water containers she had brought. “Let’s get going, Sadie,” she said, grabbing the stringer of fish out of the water.
