Chapter 14

Carson didn’t see Adele for a couple of days. They’d taken a break from the morning goat yoga for the holidays, and she’d told him she was planning to sleep for days.

She had looked extremely tired for the past couple weeks, and he didn’t want to bother her. Hudson had invited him and Sawyer to come out on the mapping expeditions he’d been doing for Scarlett.

Carson figured he didn’t have anything else to do, and he hadn’t been horseback riding for a while. So he saddled Moonbeam and led him outside to the pasture where Sawyer was already waiting.

Hudson came out last, and the three of them set off at a slow walk. Trixie, Hudson’s horse, led the way, and Carson was content to simply ride in the sunshine. The silence poured through him like warm water, and he felt the same peace and serenity he’d felt the night he’d walked Adele home under all those stars.

He still hadn’t gone to church, but he’d been talking to God a lot more, and he didn’t feel the same anger punching through him that he had for the past year or so.

“I’m headed off the ranch for a few days this weekend,” Hudson said, breaking the quiet of the wild ranch. “Can you two cover my responsibilities with the horses and llamas?”

“Off the ranch?” Sawyer asked. “Where you goin’?”

“Just to the beach,” Hudson said. “The ocean clears my head.”

“I’m sure we can cover it,” Carson said, because Hudson did whatever Scarlett said, and while he did quite a bit of work with the horses, it wasn’t so much that Carson himself couldn’t do it.

“Thanks.” Hudson let the silence descend again, but only for a few steps. “Scarlett’s comin’,” he said.

Surprise cut through Carson’s previous peace. And he could admit that he was jealous. He’d been holding Adele’s hand, and helping her with those goats, and driving himself crazy with thoughts of kissing her.

“So you two must be getting along great,” he finally said.

“Well enough,” Hudson said.

“Must be serious if you’re going on a trip together.”

Hudson was a man of few words—someone just like Carson and who Carson could appreciate. He said nothing now, which only drove the green-eyed monster in Carson’s chest toward madness.

“He can’t even confirm it,” Sawyer said. “Must be really serious.”

“It’s…been about eight weeks,” Hudson said. “So it’s still new.” He sounded wise and mature, and Carson wished he didn’t feel so hormonal for the blonde woman who wouldn’t even let him inside her cabin.

Not only that, she wouldn’t even tell him what she was doing inside the cabin.

Hudson scanned the horizon and said, “Ho,” to get Trixie to stop. He pulled out the notebook from the saddlebag behind him. “Okay, so I’ve got this grove here.” He flipped pages until he found the section he wanted. “We stick here and go west until we get to the cemetery.”

“There’s a cemetery out here?” Sawyer asked.

“I think it’s for the animals,” he said. “The headstones are interesting. Only first names on most of them.
