Chapter Twelve

The next morning, Hope sat on the bed to dry herself off after her shower. It was still early, too early to call Chance. She’d wanted to call him last night after Uncle Johnny left, but it had been late. If she was honest, it wasn’t just because it was almost midnight, it was because she wanted to respect his space. Uncle Johnny’s timing couldn’t have been worse. Him showing up like that had chased Chance away, just at the point when he was opening up. She rubbed the towel through her hair and sighed. She hoped that Chance hadn’t clammed back up again. She knew it had taken him a lot to talk about his past. She picked up her cell phone, then put it down again. She shouldn’t call him yet; she’d leave it a while. Maybe he’d call her? Probably not.

Once she was dressed, she made her way out to the kitchen and poured herself a coffee. She was hoping that she’d get to spend the day with Chance again, but she had a niggling doubt that maybe he wouldn’t want to. After her conversation with Uncle Johnny last night, she wanted to enjoy as much time with Chance as she could. She’d had a crazy idea in the back of her mind that maybe, if their little vacation went well, they might find a way to see each other again afterward. Yes, she lived in LA and he lived in Montana, they both led busy lives and worked a lot, but she did have a place to stay in Montana. She had reason to go there. She’d been thinking that maybe … But Uncle Johnny had reminded her that it wasn’t really a possibility.

He’d asked her what was going on between her and Chance, and of course, she’d told him there was nothing. He wasn’t that easily fooled though, and she’d admitted that she liked him and that the two of them were planning to spend time together while they were here. She loved her uncle; he was kind and he understood her, probably better than anyone else on earth. He’d told her that he liked Chance, too. He thought he was a great guy, an honorable man. But he wasn’t from the same world as them. That didn’t matter to Hope. She didn’t care, and she didn’t think Uncle Johnny did either. He didn’t. He’d just needed to remind her that that sort of thing mattered a whole lot to her father. He hadn’t minded Drew. He didn’t think much of him as a person, but apparently, to him, it was fitting that his daughter should be with a movie star. There was no way he would be so accepting of a cowboy—or a ranch hand, as Uncle Johnny had put it, making it sound like a bad thing somehow. She sighed. It shouldn’t matter. There was no point getting wound up about her dad’s snobbery. There was no point thinking about how she might win him over—how he’d probably like Chance if he met him.
