IT SEEMED THAT nothing RuthieAnn could do would calm Jayden. She’d tried all her usual tricks of holding him close or giving him a timeout or offering a reward if he modified his behavior. He didn’t seem to care or understand the consequences until Chase showed up at his mom’s ranch house and stepped in to offer him a ride on Midnight Shadow . . . if he would stop crying.

“Midnight Shadow doesn’t react well to a lot of noise, so once you’re done, we can go for a ride,” Chase told him as he took a knee to be on Jayden’s level.

A harried Catherine had greeted RuthieAnn and Pearl as they climbed the front porch stairs. No amount of loving seemed to soothe her boy until Chase miraculously appeared on the scene.

Jayden sucked in his frustration, dried his eyes with his fists, pulled in a few ragged breaths, and when Chase held out his hand, Jayden took it, giving Chase a crooked little smile.

Chase grinned down at Jayden then he looked over at RuthieAnn and she wanted to fall into his arms. Instead, she nodded, smiled and mouthed a thank you as he turned with her son in tow and headed across the porch towards the stairs.

RuthieAnn about melted right there on the spot. Just seeing him again made her belly flutter like a dozen butterflies had gotten trapped inside. Not only was he an excellent lover, but no man she’d ever known had had such a positive impact on her boy. It was almost as though the two of them ran on the same frequency. Chase knew how to deal with Jayden and Jayden reacted in kind. Their connection was uncanny and daunting at the same time. She didn’t want to think about Jayden’s reaction once they had to leave. On the one hand, RuthieAnn was grateful for all the attention Chase gave Jayden, but on the other hand, all of this was temporary and in Jayden’s world temporary was a difficult concept for him to grasp.

They walked back down the steps, towards the barn with RuthieAnn and Pearl following close behind until Pearl’s phone chimed and she stopped to take the call.

“I have to take this,” she said. “It’s Kyle’s school.”

Kyle was Pearl’s oldest and a handful of trouble. From what RuthieAnn could overhear, he was already causing a ruckus and the day had hardly begun.

“Unfortunately, we have to go. I forgot that today is my day to help monitor his class. I’m sorry, RuthieAnn honey. I know how much Jayden needs this ride.”

Chase must have overheard. “Don’t worry about it. I can give you a ride back to your car afterward. Not a problem.”

“Thanks,” RuthieAnn told him, then she turned back to Pearl. “See what I mean . . . the man is a saint.”

Pearl rolled her eyes. “Just call me later. I want to help with Clark’s wake.”

The thought of an actual wake for her dad hadn’t crossed RuthieAnn’s mind. She had planned on simply having her dad cremated and be done with it.
