Setting the welding torch aside, Canyon wiped the sweat from his brow. Standing back, he surveyed his progress. “Pretty good. Pretty good.” The piece was taking shape. “It oughta be.” He’d been working on his angel every spare moment for the last two weeks. The only other thing he’d done, other than blacksmithing, was lifting weights for the damn competition. Truthfully, anything that kept him away from this piece when he was awake made him grouchy as an old bear. And when he tried to sleep, insomnia plagued him. Many nights, he slept only a few hours before coming here to the studio to bring his vision to life. The prospect of completing this angel seemed to be the only thing that brought him any kind of peace. When he did sleep, dreams haunted him. Dreams of an angelic woman whose face he couldn’t quite see.

But God…her touch. He ached for her.

The dreams were so real, he could feel her skin beneath his lips when he kissed her.

Lost in a memory, Canyon almost didn’t hear his cell phone ringing. Pulling it from his pocket, he noticed the caller ID. “Bull, how do you feel?”

“How do you think?” Bull laughed. “I’ve been freezing my balls off with this cryotherapy.”

“Hell, I know. Still, I think it’s better than radiation or chemo.” Since finding out his friend had cancer, Canyon had talked to Bull every day.

“I think you’re right.” Pausing for a minute, Bull sighed. “I hope this works. I’m not ready to hang up my hoe just yet.”

“It’ll work.” Canyon believed what he was saying, but having lost a child to cancer – he couldn’t help but worry. “How’s Isabella holding up?”

“She’s my rock. She refuses to believe for a second that I won’t be just fine.”

“Isabella’s a good woman.”

“Damn straight she is.”

Bull’s voice cracked a little and Canyon felt his own throat tighten. “Hey, are you two coming to Hardbodies tomorrow night.”

“I don’t know, Brady.”

“Do come if you can. It’ll do you good to get out and about. Isabella’s deserves a night on the town. She’s been at your side for days now.”

“You’re right. We’ll see what we can do. What time?”

“I have to head over early, but the event starts at seven. I’ll watch for you.”

“You do that…and Brady? Will you do something for me?”

Canyon could hear the tension in his friend’s voice. Bull Redford was one of the strongest men he knew, so hearing the uncertainty in his voice almost brought Canyon to his knees. “Yea, you know I will. Name it.”

“If something happens to me. Will you take care of Isabella?”

Canyon knew Isabella owned a ranch in Mexico big enough to rival any in the states. On that ranch worked people who’d been faithful to her family for generations. If anyone would be taken care of – it would be Isabella. Still, he’d do anything for them and he told Bull so. “You and Isabella can always count on me.”

“Thanks, friend.”

“Just remember. Everything’s going to be okay.
