Chapter Thirteen

Mattie Banfield unloaded the last of the meat from her coolers into the wagon freezer and turned on the generator. The low hum of the motor broke into the silence of the woods and she checked the gauge on the gas levels. “Don’t forget to top that gas off before you go to sleep,” she said, but when she turned around, Kyle was gone.

He’d taken the cooler back to her Jeep and settled it into the seat.

She still needed to ask him about the spice rubs, but she didn’t want to push too hard. If he complained to Brady, then all bets would be off. She hated lying to her son, but it was time that Jamie got her happy ending. Brady didn’t understand that yet, but he would. Once he saw what magick could do.

When Kyle returned, he went around to the smoker to check on the meat, and started to slice potatoes in the kitchen.

Mattie walked around the kitchen, smiling at him when he looked up at her. He didn’t offer any information. Didn’t ask for help. Just kept on slicing. The speed of his hands doing the work was almost mesmerizing. It hadn’t occurred to her that Charity might not have been to culinary school until she watched Kyle slice vegetables. He was like an Iron Chef.

She headed past the campfire toward the corral. The group had come in from their trail ride, and she could see Brady opening things up to let the first of the horses inside.

Jamie brought up the back of the group, her cowboy hat sitting low on her forehead. She had a gray t-shirt on, and not the Silver Spring Ranch shirt she was supposed to be wearing.

Mattie came up alongside her horse, putting her hand on Jamie’s leg. “How was the ride, my girl?”

“Fine.” Her daughter grabbed the reins and held them tight as she climbed off the horse. She looked around the group and called out, “The guys are on horse duty tonight. Ladies, head on down to your tents or make for the river. Probably about an hour yet until dinner.”

Mattie smiled at each of the girls as they left their horses and circumvented the camp, heading toward the girls’ tents. It wasn’t long before they disappeared into the trees and were out of sight.

When one of the guys took Jamie’s horse, her daughter headed straight after the girls.

Mattie jogged after, catching her arm. “Where are you going?”

“I’m headed down to the river, Mom, with everyone else.” She nodded back toward the corral. “Brady’s here today. He can supervise the corral while I get cleaned up.”

“Where’s your staff t-shirt?” She pulled on the bottom of Jamie’s gray tee. It was tattered and frayed on one side and looked like it’d been washed one too many times. Or forty.

Jamie looked down, eyes blank. “I’m not sure. I guess I was…Yeah, I must’ve forgotten this morning.” She yanked the shirt back and walked away from the corral.

“It’s not a big deal.
