TEN

Three nights passed with nothing. Becca stayed housebound, staying away from the windows, not answering the door or going to the barn. Nathan was actually impressed with her determination to see the plan through. The hotel had Becca registered as a guest in room 304 if anyone decided to snoop. Since there wasn’t the manpower to keep someone on the hotel room, they set up cameras to monitor the room. So far, no one had made any suspicious moves around the room.

Or the ranch.

No strange or suspicious activity, and no problems during the day. Nathan was about ready to think the person was privy to inside information and knew they were watching, waiting to spring a trap. However, they all agreed to give it two more nights and then come back together to revamp the plan.

In the meantime, with Becca trapped in the house, he had no time to slip into her office to go through her hard-copy files. The computer had turned up nothing and he expected the same for whatever was in the file cabinet next to her desk. The truth is, he didn’t believe she was guilty of anything more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and he had no motivation to bother checking.

He told Clay so as the sun went down on the clear December evening. Clay nodded. “I’m leaning in your direction, but it wouldn’t hurt to just check. At least then I can say I covered all my bases.”

“Hmm. We’ll see.”

Clay looked around. “Glad to see she finally got around to decorating.”

“She had a little help and encouragement.”

Clay fell silent for a minute. “You still care for her, don’t you?”

“Yes.”

“But you’re trying not to.”

“Yep.”

Clay laughed.

“It’s not funny. My whole presence here has been a lie. Keeping the truth from her is killing me. I need to tell her everything.”

“Yeah. I know.”

“I’d tell her right now if I didn’t think she’d kick me off the ranch and leave herself vulnerable to whoever’s been trying to kill her.”

Clay shook his head and frowned. “No, it’s best to stay quiet for now. If she knows I’m the one who asked you to do this, we’ll both be in the doghouse. And she’ll be a sitting duck.”

“So we keep our mouths shut for now. But I don’t feel it’s right to pursue anything with her until there’s no secrets between us, you know?”

Clay nodded. “Well, if she gives you a hard time about it, you can just blame me.”

“I was planning to do that anyway.”

Clay snorted then shook his head. “I should have known.”

“How are Sabrina and the kids?”

The besotted expression on Clay’s face spoke volumes. “They’re great. Sabrina is amazing and the kids are growing like crazy.” Then he sighed. “I just wish I got to spend more time with them.”

“I see Seth is up for the National Finals Rodeo again this year.” Seth was one of Clay’s younger brothers who, very successfully, traveled the rodeo circuit.

“Yep. And his wife, Tonya, is pregnant again.
