LILY

It’s what I’m deciding is a typical day at the Desert Sky Ranch. I feed the horses, do some paperwork for Jack, take the horses out for some exercise, do some training, make sure new feed is ordered. This is pretty much what I expected the grind to be when I signed up for the job.

Seeing Jack as I did, it is just one hell of a bonus. Last night we talked for hours, and we barely got any sleep. But seeing him rejuvenates me and pushes me to keep doing what I’m doing. I imagine if we started taking our relationship even further, though, that might be enough to keep me tired out.

I wrap up for the day, and not a moment too soon. It’s been a gray day. There is no call for rain, but you can never trust the weather predictions wholly. As I return to the ranch house, I’m greeted with the unfamiliar sight of an old pickup in the driveway. It’s rusty and run-down and looks like it’s from the nineteen seventies. I’m surprised that something that old is still running.

Jack is out in front of the ranch house, and seeing who’s in front of him explains the dire look on his face.

“You think you’re so fucking special, don’t you? My daughter has been home all day crying.” He’s on the older side, balding with gray hair—where he does have hair.

“She most assuredly has not,” Jack is quick to fire back.

“The hell you know! You don’t care about my daughter’s feelings!”

I’m also greeted by the intense smell of liquor. This guy smells like a brewery, and not a particularly good one. I keep my distance, not really enjoying joining arguments I’m not yet a part of.

“I think I’ve talked to your daughter a whole lot more than you have, which is a shame, given you’re her father.”

Sarah’s dad? I guess I see a vague resemblance, but she’s lucky she got 95 percent of her looks from her mother.

“You’re disrespecting me! Flaunting your infidelity in front of the whole goddamn town!”

He finally notices me out of the corner of his eye.

“There she is! The fucking slut you’re giving up my daughter for!” He looks at me, the hate in his eyes raging.

Jack pushes him. “Don’t you fucking talk to her like that.” I haven’t seen such anger in Jack before.

“I’ll talk to her however I want. She’s a fucking home-wrecker! A gold digger! She’s dressed like garbage!”

I stare back at him, his raggedy flannel and holey jeans. He got a whole lot of nerve to talk.”

“You better step off, or I’m going to get the sheriff in here to haul you off to the drunk tank, Max.”

“That bitch? Like I should have to take orders from her, she can’t make me do shit. Who the fuck made a woman sheriff?”

Did you really have to make your misogyny even more blatant? I shake my head as I massage my temples.

“Don’t matter what you think of her. She’ll have you in jail for trespassing.
