Ryan was grappling with a similar issue as he rode out to the southwest pasture to check on the cattle. Only he didn’t have a group of friends handy to talk it out—if men did that sort of thing. He only had the cows, and he didn’t think he’d get any sound relationship advice there.

No, he hadn’t been toying with Gen. He hadn’t been using her just for pleasure. He had feelings for her. Real feelings. Why else would he have put a damned skylight in the barn? He sure as hell hadn’t done it for Kendrick.

But Gen had been straight with him that she didn’t plan to stay in Cambria. She’d made no secret of that. The whole reason she’d brought Kendrick out here was to drum up the money and the clout she needed to relocate to New York.

He’d be a fool to think she’d change her mind about staying just because of him. And he couldn’t kid himself that going to New York with her would be a simple thing. His family had been on the ranch for generations. His brothers had left to pursue other things. His parents were counting on him to run the operation here. What would happen if he left? Who would his parents turn to? Breanna would be the only one of his siblings still here, and she had never had much of an interest in ranching. If she suddenly decided to take on a big role working the ranch—which seemed unlikely—she’d have a lot to learn before she could take Ryan’s place.

That was the practical side. The emotional side—which, to him, was just as compelling—was that the Delaney Ranch was so much a part of who he was as a person, so much a key element in his soul, that he doubted he could successfully make the adjustment to a life elsewhere. And that was assuming she would even want him to come.

What about a long-distance relationship? He pondered that as he dismounted Annie and went to check on a calf and its mother near the northwest corner of the pasture. The grass swished between his legs as he walked.

Ryan approached the cow and her calf slowly, speaking soothing words to them. When the calf had been born, the mother had initially rejected him. It happened sometimes. After a few days of forced nursing—Ryan had enclosed the mother in a pen and immobilized her to allow the newborn to feed—she’d warmed up to the calf some, but Ryan was still keeping an eye on them to make sure everything was going smoothly.

He examined the calf, looking for signs of weight loss and checking its abdomen for indications that it hadn’t been eating and drinking properly. He observed its breathing, and checked its face for discharge from the nose or eyes. That done, he simply stood back and observed the calf for a while to see how it was eating and moving. When the calf raised its tail and released a steaming pile of manure, Ryan ambled over and took a look at the pile.
