***

Rift let the back door swing shut behind him, the evening air slowly cooling as the sun slipped past the horizon. Kinsey and Grace were laughing as they played on the pair of old tire swings beside the ranch house. The two of them were completely inseparable.

Rift leaned against a tree and watched them.

He knew they couldn’t stay in Boulder much longer, but he wasn’t sure he wanted to move that far away. It didn’t seem fair to let Kinsey make a friend, only to rob her of that joy after only a few short days. Then again, life wasn’t fair, and he still hadn’t figured out what to do about Cane Creek. They might have been willing to drop Sawyer and Kinsey, but if they found out Kins was his, there wouldn’t be anything in the world to keep Dougal away from her.

Rubbing his face, Rift sighed. There was also the possibility that had been gnawing away in his gut all day. That when he and Kinsey packed up to leave, Sawyer wouldn’t come with them. This was her home after all, her family. She didn’t have to leave, and she’d gotten them this far. She sure as hell didn’t owe them anything to begin with; she definitely didn’t need to stick with them to the end.

She’d already disappeared most of the day, though Rift suspected that had more to do with the kisses they’d shared last night than anything else. Sawyer was a puzzle and a half. He knew she cared, knew she loved, but something held her back. Had her convinced that whatever was between them couldn’t work.

And Rift didn’t know how to convince her otherwise. Time and patience might do it, but they didn’t have that right now. He needed her to be willing to give them a shot now, so that when they left, she would come with them.

“You seen Sawyer?” he called out to the girls and they both shook their heads.

Damn. Rift glanced around the yard. She hadn’t even come back to the main house for dinner, though according to her mother she had dropped by to pick up some food.

With a frustrated sigh, Rift turned to head back, then noticed Mason coming up the drive. The other man had been gone fairly often these past few days, busy setting up his own territory with one of his half brothers, according to Grace.

“Welcome back,” Rift said, leaning against the porch rail. Surprisingly, he liked Mace. Then again, Mason Reyes was one of the few here that didn’t snarl every time Rift walked by. Probably had something to do with the fact that he was leaving soon.

“Can’t wait to have the houses furnished so I don’t have to keep coming back here.” Mace grinned. “It’ll be nice to have more privacy. And fewer kids.”

A baby screamed from inside as if to emphasize his point.

Rift had never really wanted a pride life before, but a small pride, nothing at all like Boulder or Cane Creek, actually sounded tempting.
