Chapter Twelve

Liam spent the rest of the week at the farm. He’d delivered the cake safely to the show, in time for the judging before it went on display. He was pleased that the entry was in Lucy’s name. Not that it was unmanly to bake a cake but he had a reputation to uphold. He could just imagine the laughter of the boys in the newsroom back in London. If they ever got wind that he’d baked a cake to enter in an outback agricultural show, they’d fall over on the floor. He smiled. Not that he’d done much of the cake baking once Angie had turned up. He deliberately pushed her out of his thoughts. He wasn’t going there. He wouldn’t be here for much longer, she had a new man, so no matter how much he was still attracted to her he would resist spending too much time in her company.

He’d really stuffed up that night in London, when she’d come home and told him she was leaving. But she hadn’t asked him what he thought about it. Angie had just briskly set about making the arrangements and getting herself packed. It was as though she couldn’t wait to leave him behind. And living with another man, within a few months of coming home, showed that she hadn’t cared about him that much.

Yep, he’d loved her. But he’d never got around to telling her, and just as well. He would have looked like a fool. A bloody fool. He’d had a near miss there.

Liam reached down and scratched Willow’s chin. It was late Thursday night and he was sitting at the desk in the farm office. Whenever he sat there, the little pup curled up on his feet and kept him company. He’d spent the past few nights researching the Christos Company that was behind the gas exploration. Now that Jim Ison had sent over the information, Liam had discovered some disturbing details, and he was drafting an introductory article for the city papers. Just to see what response it got from the company. He’d found that putting the issue out there often got to the truth of the matter.

Shame he hadn’t applied that to his personal life. He shook his head. It was time to focus on his work and put Angie Edmonds out of his mind.

The cattle work had kept him busy since Garth had come over on Sunday and helped him catch up on the drenching. Lucy had come with him, and had sat on the fence just like when they were kids. This time, she had little James strapped to her chest in one of those sling things. When they’d finished, she’d put James to bed in his pram and made them a cup of tea. They’d sat on the verandah, and she’d been full of questions.

“I hear you’ve joined the alliance,” she’d said.

“Yeah, I’ll do my bit for the area. While I’m here.” Liam had wiped his hand over his brow. Spring was passing quickly, and summer was just around the corner.
