Chapter Twelve

Nate stopped by the office on the way out. Dropping in on Jay was a daily occurrence in the two weeks he had been busy working in his new role. Every day at six he would wander by with questions. Since Jay had set up the office, the walls had become filled with photos—of the horses, the landscape around Crooked Tree, the cabins, the hands who reported to Nate. There were even informal shots of him and Gabe from last week’s debacle at The Nine with the rotting fence posts. Somehow, this room in the two weeks Jay had been here, had become the nerve centre for this mythical plan Jay was working on.

Nothing had changed yet that affected the ranch directly. There was still no new website, although Jay had promised something by the end of February. Given they opened on March first they would lose out on whoever booked through the site—although, to be fair, no one booked through the existing site. So there was no great loss.

“Hey,” he announced himself at the door. Jay glanced up at him and not for the first time, Nate thought he looked adorably rumpled. His hair was messy from the way he constantly ran his hands through it as he worked and he was wearing glasses. He stared back down at the sheets in front of him, then with an almost immediate second glance, he looked right at Nate.

He frowned and checked Nate from head to foot. “Did I miss the invite?”

“I have a meeting,” Nate said. He wasn’t going into the whys and wherefors of what he was doing tonight.

“Looking good, cowboy,” Jay teased.

Nate ignored the comment. “So tell me what’s happened today.”

They’d taken the whole telling the truth bit to the point where every single day Jay summarised what had happened on the on-going projects.

“Luke was in earlier. I talked to him about some photography and he drew this for me.” Jay turned the paper around so Nate could see it, but Nate had to physically walk to the table to peer at the half page drawing. He smiled as he looked at a simple pencil sketch of Juno. In a few strokes with some shading, Luke had pulled together the broad nose and the intelligent eyes of Nate’s horse. Nate swelled a little with pride—Gabe was a genius with numbers, and Luke could take whatever he looked at and condense it in a simple pencil drawing. He couldn’t be prouder of his little brothers.

“He’s very good,” Jay said softly.

“That he is,” Nate replied. He gently touched the edge of the paper. “What made him draw this?”

“I asked him about a logo for the ranch and he was talking and sketching at the same time. A simple outline of the head of your horse would make a good eye-catching logo. He’s going to work on it some.”

“He’s talking about studying business at college. Coming back to Crooked Tree to run the ranch.”

Jay leant back in his chair and twirled a pen in his hands.
