‘So what will you do about the calf?’ Tally asked, and Jacob got the impression she was deliberately changing the subject. Still he answered her, surprised at how much he enjoyed her interest.

‘Might be nothing we can do. It’s a blow to lose both of them.’ Jacob fell quiet. He may have a reputation for being cold and hard – he wasn’t stupid, he knew what Pete and some of the ranch hands thought – but his cattle were more to him than mere commodities. He helped tend them every day, after all, and watching the beautiful animal in pain as they had attempted to turn the calf this morning had made his heart ache. Funny how it was easier to feel for the animals than for people these days, he thought with a sigh, before looking up to see Tally gazing at him. For a moment their eyes met, and a look passed between them that Jacob couldn’t name but that felt like longing. He turned away, almost having to wrench his eyes from hers, and rammed some bread into his mouth. What was wrong with him? He admonished himself. Coming across to the house this morning had been a mistake; he was letting this girl make him soft, and he couldn’t allow that. Soft was no good. Soft brought pain.
