Travis adjusted Mandrell’s lead rope. The sway of the horses chased off the worries that had plagued him all day. A warm breeze kept the mosquitoes away but had gained in strength. Thick, puffy clouds blocked the sun for long periods of time, cooling the day enough to call it chilly. Then the sun would peek out and infuse his body with heat.

A nearly perfect day to ride.

The day he’d taken Reba to snoop on Kami had also been his first time out for the year. Unless he was helping with the ranch, he rarely rode for pleasure. Times like this made him wonder why he wasn’t out every day for a little equine therapy.

Because when he wasn’t working, he was buried in his computer. His family thought the app he’d made was cool and constantly tossed out ideas of what he should do next. It was like his computer skills were an exotic talent, a point of awe for them. Sure, his cousins had their phones and their own laptops, but they only did what they needed to, spending the rest of their time working or socializing.

But he’d had Michelle, who was usually out of town, and once he mentioned his idea for a game, they’d been so thrilled, he’d had to develop it.

He should design another.

A cloud drifted in front of the sun, momentarily shading the pasture he rode through. Continuing on its path, the cloud floated on and the sun brightened the day.

His computer could wait. This was nice.

He rode through the pasture closest to his property. There were no signs of Kami. He reached the road that would take him to Pam’s house. His house and hers weren’t far apart, but no road ran between them. His family’s pastures and a couple of the biggest fields they worked were in between. Pam’s land spread out from there, but to get to her place, he’d have to take the next turn off the highway.

By horse was much better.

Steering Reba through the ditch, Mandrell followed. They turned to go down the drive to Pam’s. A spindly form ran down the road to meet him.

“Travis!” She jumped and did a cartwheel, as graceful her mom at that age. More so, because she’d probably been taught by her mom. She slowed as she reached them. “Mom said you might be coming by with Mandrell today. Can I really ride?”

“After I talk to your mom.”

“This way.” She darted off.

Reba nickered. Travis patted her neck. “To have that energy again, am I right?”

When he reached the circular driveway, Kami strode out of the sagging red barn with Kambria. A flutter of apprehension had him readjusting in his seat. His gaze swept from her to the barn. The large barn door was open. How, he didn’t know. The structure of the barn had altered so much from age and weather, the door should’ve been jammed closed.

The mustiness grew stronger as he approached. No lights were on inside, but he could make out piles of boxes amid old equipment.
