Cole hung his head, exasperated at himself. Why couldn’t he keep his big mouth shut? He crossed to the ladder—fully intent on catching up with Susan. They’d been having a decent conversation and it had taken his mind off the things he’d been dwelling on ever since Seth dropped his bombshell that morning.

She’d thrown up the do-not-trespass sign the instant he’d said something about her lack of responsibility where her safety and well-being were concerned. Knowing her as he was beginning to think he did, she’d taken what he said as a complete slap in the face about her entire life.

The woman was hard to talk to. Skimming down the ladder, he followed her voice toward the waiting area. They’d had a phone line installed in the office on Tuesday for just such a thing as this. She was just hanging up when he walked through the door.

“Something wrong?”

“Yes. Lilly and Cort Wells—a local horse trainer—are out of town and one of their mares looks like she may be going into labor early. The young guy who is feeding for them called it in. I’m going out to make sure everything is okay.”

She’d been walking toward the door while talking and Cole followed her. “You want some help?”

No way, the look she shot him over her shoulder said. “No. I’m fine.”

“I might be able to help.” He followed her into the night air.

She didn’t give him another glance, but kept right on walking across the drive, heading toward her truck at a quick clip. He felt at loose ends as he watched her go. None of his business, though—what had he expected after what he’d said?

He’d just pulled down the large rolling door and locked up the building when she drove past. She didn’t give him even a glance.

He stalked to his truck, watching her pull out of the parking lot. He should let it go. She didn’t want or need his help.

As he drove onto the road, he could see her taillights in the distance. When she turned onto the main road into Mule Hollow, she went left. Cole turned right and headed the opposite direction.

He would do as she said. Mind his business and grab a chicken-fried steak at Sam’s diner. Susan would be fine. She was just checking on a horse. She could do that in her sleep and there was no need to worry that she would get into any trouble out there by herself. She knew what she was doing.

Still, accidents happened.
