“Twin speak,” Talon said.

"As children, we were left to ourselves most of the time," Vice said. "Our nanny spoke mostly Spanish, and our father forbade her to speak in our presence, so she was silent until we were old enough to know something was weird. A bit like being raised by a mime.”

“He was busy.”

“Oh, here we go… Sorry, I didn’t mean to speak ill of the dead.”

Talon glared at him, and Vice slipped back into the back seat and lay down. He didn't sit back up until we reached the driveway of the place we were going. It was a fenced area of land, though only the front fence was visible. It went on into the distance both ways, so far you couldn't see the end of it. Where the drive was, a massive wrought iron gate was put up, with an archway and big name on top, all of it forged in black iron. Two horses reared at either side of the arch.

The sign read: Bar T Ranch.

Running through the gate was a dirt road that also stretched into the distance. And somewhere out there, beyond the live oaks and the pond, must have been a ranch house. It was breathtaking how beautiful it was. Land so big the sky seemed to meet it at each edge. Lush grass as tall as my waist, and all those green trees. It'd had been raining the past few weeks, so the pond was full.

“I’ll get the gate!” Vice said.

“Not if I get it first!” Talon shouted.

Both of them leapt out and chased each other. Talon won, but they both opened one side to be expedient.

As we drove down the dirt road, cattle lounged in the shade beneath the oaks. Longhorns grazed in the tall grass. The first thing I saw was the stables. Enough room for twenty horses. I had to stop the truck because I was crying.

“What is it?” Talon said.

Vice hit him on the arm. “She loves it stupid.”

“It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” I whispered.

“We bought it,” Talon said. “Paid cash. The paperwork is coming today, but that’s just a formality.”

Vice slipped his arms around me.

“Wait until you see the house.”

Talon looked jealous of the embrace, but he only shrugged.

“We asked Trib where you’d be happiest, and she said something like this,” he said.

“Talon found it,” Vice said. “But I found the horses.”

“There are horses in the stables?” I asked.

“Every one more beautiful than the last. Glossy, full of energy and spirit. The kind I know you’d like.”

Talon put a hand on my thigh and squeezed. Having them both touch me at once was almost too much.

“You saved our lives,” he said. “This is for you.”

“It’s wonderful,” I said. “Not to, uh, sound ungrateful, but the cattle and horses… that’s a lot of work. I’ve been living my life pretty unfettered. Kind of goes with the territory.”

“Not to worry,” Talon said. “Daisy and the ranch hands handle all that.”

Daisy?

We drove past a beautiful corral, and I saw the house.
