CHAPTER 16

Ainsleigh

Y esterday, Gentry and I took Dylan and Aspen to the airport. I hated saying goodbye to them even if it was only for a week. Having them here for the past couple of weeks made it feel more like home. I’d gotten used to seeing them every day and I was thankful for their decision to move here permanently, especially since we were going to be parents again. A girl would need her best friends now more than ever.

After Gentry and I ate breakfast with my parents, we headed out to the barn to visit with Sparkle before we started for the day. He told me first thing this morning, he’d take care of the stalls since he didn’t want me to exert myself. He’d already gone into protective mode, and I loved it. I was sure once I got further along, it’d annoy me, but for now, I’d enjoy him feeling like he was protecting us.

“Don’t overdo it today,” Gentry warned me as he placed a chaste kiss on my lips while he held the reins to the horse standing beside him.

“I’m not. I’m heading over to the office to talk to my dad about taking over for Loretta when she leaves. I did minor in accounting while I was in college and figured I could put it to good use.”

“Good. I’ll see you later, beautiful.”

Instead of getting on Sparkle like I wanted to, I got on the four-wheeler and headed over to the property beside my parents where the office building was located. When I was pregnant before, being on a horse made me dizzy, and I didn’t want to take any chances with this pregnancy.

A short ride later, I stopped in front of the building and hopped off the four-wheeler. I waved at my brothers who were getting ready to take some guests out on a tour as I walked inside the building.

The cool air hit me in the face the second I walked inside. It felt heavenly.

“Good morning, Ainsleigh. What can I do for you today?” Loretta asked as she greeted me. It was hard to believe in two short weeks she would be retiring. I’d known her since I was born.

“Good morning, Loretta. I was hoping to find my dad before he left for the day. Is he around?”

“He sure is. He’s in his office. I just wanted to say congratulations again on getting your degree. It was a sad time while you were away, but we’re happy you’re home now where you belong.”

“Thank you. It was hard to be away, but I’m glad to be home as well. I’ll come see you before I leave for the day,” I told her as I smiled and headed off to have a chat with my dear old dad. Hopefully he went for what I was proposing. I knew he wasn’t having any luck finding someone he deemed suitable. I thought it was because he didn’t like change and he didn’t want to entrust anyone with the daily tasks of running this place when Loretta had done such a great job over the years.
