Weston had just stepped off the porch and was making his way toward the barn when he heard giggles emerge from the cracked window.

The boulder in his gut dissipated slightly. Thank God Melody had been understanding about the theft. If she'd wanted, she could've pressed charges, and then where would the family be?

Melody constantly surprised him. She'd taken the girls' drama in stride and barely reacted to Chase's revelation.

Meanwhile, he felt like he was treading water in the middle of the ocean with no lifeboat in sight. In a hurricane.

He'd allowed the distance to grow between himself and the twins. After everything that had happened with Eve, it was easier to cut ties to Redbud Trails.

And now they were growing up, abandoned by their mother and facing peer pressure and boy trouble, and he was woefully ill-equipped to deal with all of it.

He blew off some of his frustration mucking stalls for Ben's two mares. The gentle ladies had been severely neglected, but now they were putting on pounds they'd lost, building back muscle. In a few months, they'd be ready to go to new families, ones who would treat them right.

Or he and the girls could keep them.

The thought brought him up short as he bucked the wheelbarrow of manure into the compost pile out back.

He wasn't planning to stay in Redbud Trails long term.

He had a life back in Oklahoma City. A good life. A sweet condo, season tickets to the Thunder, plenty of friends to hang out with.

But the twins were here. Even after Mom got out of rehab, could he trust that she'd stay clean? The fact that he hadn't known in the first place that she was hooked on pain meds still upset him. He needed to make sure the twins were safe, and he couldn't do that adequately from the city.

And then there was Melody.

He didn't know her all that well, and he wanted to know more.

Footsteps crunching in the dry grass outside drew his attention toward the open barn door.

She as walking across the grass toward the barn as if his thoughts had conjured her. He shucked his gloves, ran one hand through his hair, and headed toward her.
