Saturday evening Jake stood on the porch steps glancing to his right, wondering what the dickens the two women were up to. Even from this distance, fifty feet away from the guest house, he could hear the sound of their cheerful laughter. Lottie was decked out in her going-out clothes and he couldn’t miss Cassie’s wild cinnamon hair, flowing around her face, a mass of soft silk and waves. She wore a beige Western dress that tied up the front with suede strings and a pair of matching boots, looking every bit the part of a ranching woman. When the women jumped into Lottie’s Blazer, Jake stepped off the porch and planted himself on the road.

Lottie pulled up beside him. “Hi, Jake.”

Jake leaned in, his gaze flowing from Lottie straight to Cassie. She looked drop-dead gorgeous. “Ladies. Planning on a big night?”

Cassie cast him a weak smile then turned her head to peer out the window.

“We’re heading to Ted’s birthday bash. I figured it was time for Cassie to meet some of our neighbors. She hasn’t been off the ranch much. She’s due for some fun.”

Jake nodded. “Well, have a good time.”

The car ambled down the road as Jake climbed back up the steps to the porch. John T. was waiting for him. “What was that all about?”

“Lottie’s taking Cassie to Ted O’Hanley’s party.”

John T. nodded and they both stared at Lottie’s car as it made its way down the road toward the gates of the property.

“Isn’t Ted’s father newly widowed?” Jake asked.

“Yep. About a year now.”

“He was always sweet on Lottie, wasn’t he?”

John T. frowned and rubbed his jaw. “Bet Cassie’ll stir up a lot of interest being new to the valley and all. Her dance card’s sure to be filled.”

Jake peered out, straight across the road. “I wasn’t planning on going.”

“Nah, me neither,” John T. agreed.

A moment passed.

Jake slanted his father a look. “How long before you can be ready?”

“About twenty minutes.”

Jake nodded. “Once we get there, it’s every man for himself.”
