CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Lilli went into the feed store, with Badger, who had been her closest companion over the past week and a half, trailing behind. She had a list Isaac had made for her of different grains, supplements, and other supplies they’d need for the horses. Looked like Gertie, Flash, and Ebony were with them to stay. Her next errand was a trip to Signal Bend Realty to sign the papers—she was about to spend half a million dollars on the Keller property. Her father’s death money.

She knew it was the right call, the right thing to do, but a dull kind of anxiety burbled in her gut. Even in the rightness, there was something wrong about spending her father’s money to buy the Keller place. She should not own it. Will Keller should own it. He should be living on it with his wife and kids. Even though she knew she was helping to save the town and in that way preserving Will’s legacy to at least a nominal extent, and even though she knew her father would be proud of her choice to buy the property, she felt an ill wind rising up around this purchase.

Maybe it was simply that she knew that doing so, interrupting Ellis’s plans to buy the land himself, plans in the service of which he’d exerted a great deal of energy and expense, would shift his attention to her. But Lilli wasn’t one who backed down from a fight, and her life had been on the line many times before, so she wasn’t sure why this fight had her more anxious than any other.

Except that now she had Isaac and a future she cared about.

The feed store drew patronage from a wide radius and was fairly busy, one of the few businesses in town that had remained steadily healthy. There was a line at the counter where Isaac had told her she’d need to order the bulk feed, so instead of dealing with that, she wandered around the stock area. She found the supplements Isaac had listed—sheesh, even those came in huge buckets—and sent Badger over for a pallet cart, since they apparently would be loading up here. Good thing she’d taken Isaac up on his suggestion that they take his truck today.

She got the various supplements, the grooming supplies, new feed buckets. Waiting for the feed line to dwindle more, she wandered over to the tack section and examined the saddles and bridles. The saddles were gorgeous. All of them tooled and shaped, some with beautiful stitching on the seat, a couple with silver trim. And wow. Not cheap.

The bridles surprised her. There were a lot of different kinds, and the heavy metal parts, which she assumed were the parts that went into the horse’s mouth, were all different. Some were one solid piece, others were pieces that were linked in different ways, one kind didn’t seem to have a mouth piece at all. In addition to the complete bridles, There was a whole section just of the metal parts, and another of the leather harness parts.
