Chapter 13

Caleb

Like many things in Montana, Drake’s ranch turned out to be massive. Respectable in its own right, Caitlyn’s holding, Rowdy Range, spanned several hundred acres. As he drove past Rowdy Range and toward the entrance to Drake’s ranch, he realized the scope of the operation was nothing like he imagined.

“How big is this place?” He leaned forward and gripped the wheel, looking along the endless expanse of barbed wire fencing.

“I’m not sure. He combined his ranch with Abby’s a few years ago. I think several tens of thousands? I don’t really know.”

“He and the doc are a couple?”

She gave a nod.

A town of twenty-thousand, Peace Springs was still small enough for everyone to know everyone’s business.

“Are we ever going to find this place?”

She peered ahead. With snow covering everything, there was a chance they would miss the gate leading to Drake’s ranch. Or so Caleb thought. He was used to posts and barbed wire with cattle grates, not massive stone arched gates with a paved road leading off the county highway.

“There it is.” Caitlyn pointed although it wasn’t necessary.

He pulled off the road and stopped in front of the massive gates.

“Do we need to call? Or…”

“The gate is just for show. I don’t think it’s ever locked, but we might have a problem with the snow.”

He agreed with that. There were no signs of anyone coming or going and which gave him pause. If Abby was going to meet them, then where the hell was she?

Caitlyn put her phone to her ear and carried on a hushed conversation with Drake. The Jeep might not have a problem navigating the deep snow, but those gates weren’t going to open unless he cleared a path. Bear gave a low groan from the back as he stretched out. Caitlyn reached back and rubbed him. Caleb left her to her conversation, jumping out of his Jeep and grabbing a shovel from the back.

He headed to the gates, intent on clearing a path when the massive iron gates slowly drew back on metal tracks. He expected them to swing out and appreciated the extra expense Drake had gone to in making rails to draw the gates to the side, because now he didn’t need to shovel anything.

He turned back to the Jeep and when he got in, Caitlyn gave a smug smile.

“Did you know the gates opened like that?”

She gave a nod.

“And you were going to let me go out there and dig?”

She shrugged.

“So not cool.” He poked her in the shoulder, enjoying the easy play. It reminded him of simpler times. Deciding not to push his luck, he put the Jeep into gear and headed down the long drive. Snow blanketed the rolling countryside, a pristine cottony-white which had him itching to head out in a snowmobile and have fun flying over the hills.

They finally pulled up to a grouping of buildings. A working cattle ranch, lights shone out of the barns where the herd huddled from the biting cold. Other structures held
