Chapter 9

“He made me a sandwich, Phil,” Michelle was in the kitchen with her friend, “a sandwich.”

Philomena’s soft laugh was understanding. “He’s Kade, Michi. That’s how he is. You can’t imagine how much help he was to me when I first came here. I was sure I’d have to hire a ranch foreman, but then there was Kade.”

Phil looked out the window at Kade, a cold iced tea in his hand, standing and chatting with Chase as he finished the ribs on the grill.

“Without Kade I never would have met Chase either.” She smiled. “Michi, you were looking for a change. I know there’s a lot more to it than that, but you’ll never make that change if you don’t trust him.”

Michelle dropped her eyes, “He really is a good man, isn’t he?”

“Yes, that match maker picked a good one for you, but you have to work at it to make it work.”

“You and Chase don’t seem to have to work at it.”

Phil laughed, a guffaw that made the men outside turn to look at the window. “Michi,” Phil hugged her friend, “every partnership takes work. Love might come softly, or boldly, or on a summer breeze, but it always needs someone to look after it.”

“Ribs are ready,” Chase called stepping into the house. “Another week and it’ll be too cold out there to grill anything.”

“All the better reason to do it while we can,” Phil offered, taking the large platter from his hands.”

“I suppose you’re going to tell me you grilled all year long in New York,” the tall blonde man teased.

“I didn’t have to,” Phil turned on her heel, flicking her auburn-tinged hair over her shoulder, “someone else would do it for me there. The city has new restaurant on each corner for every week.”

“Come on you two,” Chase said, waving a hand in the direction of the small dining room. “We’ll have to hurry if we want any of those ribs for ourselves.” He winked sideways at Kade, then followed his wife’s lead.

Pulling her chair out, Kade settled Michelle at the table and sat beside her, reaching for her hand and taking Chase’s in his other as Phil took Michelle’s hand and bowed her head.

“Father thank you for this fine evening, and good friends.” Chase’s voice was reverent. “We thank you for this bounty we are about to receive and ask you bless the hands that prepared it. Amen.”

Michelle squirmed in her seat, glancing at her oldest and dearest friend. “Help yourself.” Phil smiled around her, offering a big bowl of potato salad. Perhaps Phil had changed more than she had realized.

“You’d better get it quick,” Chase said, “Phil isn’t known for leaving leftovers.”

“I eat just enough,” Phil jumped in, “besides I’ve had a busy day, I need to keep my energy up.” She smiled, her eyes bright.

Michelle watched the banter between her hosts. It was fun to see someone match Phil quip for quip.

“I think you keep us all on our toes around here, cuz.” Kade’s comment made Chase chuckle.
