Chapter 11

The next morning, Chrissy was better. In all his euphoria over PJ, Ethan had completely forgotten her. Now, seeing her drawn yet smiling face at the breakfast table, he tried to figure out what to do. Only a jerk broke up with someone on vacation. Of course, only a jerk cheated on someone on vacation, too.

He grimaced as he poked at his bacon. How had he gotten himself into this mess? He had allowed his attraction to PJ blind him to the fact that he had a girlfriend, a girlfriend he had dragged halfway across the country to be with. Did other men get themselves in these messes? Looking around the table at the King brothers, he doubted it.

After some serious thought, he decided what he was going to do. He would make a clean break with Chrissy and offer to pay her return back to New York. That way she could still salvage some of her Christmas vacation, maybe spend the time with her friends and family. She would undoubtedly be angry with him, and rightfully so, but she wouldn’t be heartbroken because they weren’t that serious. In fact, there were several times over the last few weeks that Ethan had thought Chrissy was going to break up with him, but for some reason she held on.

“Do you feel up to taking a walk?” he asked as soon as breakfast was finished. “We could go to one of the barns; they’re heated.”

“Sounds good,” she agreed. “Let me grab my coat.” She left the table and Ethan noticed PJ watching the exchange, trying to pretend she hadn’t been eavesdropping. He wanted to tell her that he was going to break up with Chrissy, but he couldn’t exactly do that with the rest of the table listening in. Instead, he gave her a wink and a smile and watched with pleasure as her cheeks warmed with a blush. When was the last time he made a girl blush? She was charming.

Chrissy returned and interrupted his dreamy thoughts. Ethan stood and led the way outside. She chattered happily, seeming much more cheerful after her illness. His thoughts drifted until they reached the barn.

“This is actually really pretty,” Chrissy commented as they entered the large wooden barn. “I always wanted a horse growing up. I bet most girls do.” She looked around again, biting her lip. “There’s a reason so many people write about Montana. It’s beautiful here.” She bit her lip again, looking nervous. “Ethan, we’ve been dating awhile now.”

Ethan frowned, puzzled. Was she breaking up with him? On the other end of the barn, PJ entered and began working, studiously ignoring everything but the horses. Ethan tried to pay attention to Chrissy, but his eyes were automatically drawn to PJ’s fluid movements.

“So I was thinking,” Chrissy continued, oblivious to the fact that Ethan was only half listening. “I think it’s time you tell me the truth.”

That caught his attention. He looked at her in surprise. Had she guessed the truth of his feelings for PJ? If so, how? She had been asleep for most of the time.
