CHAPTER SIXTEEN
TWO DAYS LATER, Grant felt like he was still riding Maggieâs winning high from the bowling league on Thursday night. Heâd ended the work week yesterday with one of the most enjoyable moments he could recall having at work in a long while. His patient visits had been interesting. Two of which were injuries that were far from basic and challenged Grantâs skills and training. He would definitely be following up with Dr. Toro about those patients, if not several others too, after he left.
But it wasnât business on Grantâs mind now. It was his cowgirl.
Maggie was on King with nine-year-old Riley Bishop seated in the saddle in front of her. Rileyâs pink boots complemented Maggieâs bedazzled pink tank top. Both wore matching wide smiles and had their hair braided in the same intricate style. Theyâd been guiding the gelding around cones set up the length of the arena for almost an hour. After several passes, Maggie had Grant rearrange the cones into a new pattern.
The pair had been inseparable since young Rileyâs arrival that morning. From cleaning out stalls to feeding the horses to braiding each mane in the stable barn, Riley absorbed Maggieâs every word. Followed her every instruction. Grant hadnât been much better. Heâd checked on them, helped when he could, and basically lingered nearby. Easier to hear their laughter and lend a hand if needed.
Maggie stopped King in the center of the arena and whispered something to Riley. The pairâs focus was centered on something behind Grant.
Before he could turn around, a rope looped over Grant and tightened around his torso.
âThatâs how itâs done, people,â Caleb shouted, and his burst of laugher ricocheted around the arena.
Grant tipped his head at Maggie and Riley. âYou two couldâve given me a warning,â he said.
Rileyâs eyes lit up and she caught her giggle in her hands. Maggie simply threw her head back and spoke through her laughter. âSorry. There wasnât really time.â Then she smiled at his brother. âCaleb, that was pretty impressive.â
âThanks.â Caleb came into Grantâs view, seated atop a stunning palomino quarter horse named Whiskey Moon.
âThat was luck.â Grant shimmied out of the rope, then eyed Caleb. âYouâll need more than luck this afternoon, little brother.â
Caleb leaned forward in his saddle. âGrant, you should be disqualified for sneaking in extra practice with Maggie and Riley.â
âEven with private lessons, Grant is not going to win.â Ryan strolled inside the arena, leading Mischief, his grullo mustang. âYou shouldnât waste your worry on him.â
âSeriously, itâs me you all should be concerned about beating.â Josh followed, trotting into the arena on Cyrus his Morgan horse, and tipped his hat in greeting to Maggie and Riley.
That launched the brothers into a good-natured debate about their skills right there in the center of the arena.
Roy and Sam strolled in next. Their boots kicking up dust, their cowboy hats pulled low. Their own laughter booming. Grandpa Sam rested his arms on the metal railing, propped his boot on the lower rung, and let out a shrill whistle.
