Gina tried to shake off the malaise that seemed to cling to her like a shroud. So she was pregnant, so she was alone, so Trent had been gone from the ranch for more than two days without any word from him. So what? She sat on the back porch swing, her laptop beeping that its battery was about to die, and slowly rocked. She looked across the windswept acres and watched the cattle lumber through the dry fields.
She was no closer to finding Larryâs last heir than she had been when sheâd landed on the ranch over two weeks earlier. Jack was making noise about her returning and though she hated to leave, the truth of the matter was that she was spinning her wheels here. Sooner or later she had to return to Southern California to face the music. Jack deserved to know the truth.
Inside she heard the men collecting. Trent, Adam and Brandon had left, at least temporarily, but Mitch, Cade and Blake had stayed on. Along with Rand and Garrett, they were milling in the living room, waiting for Wayne Kincaid to arrive to discuss legalities concerning the land. From what she could gather, Jordan Baxter was determined to stir up trouble for the Kincaids, making a claim that he had some kind of right to the land. Then there was the press.
For the past few days the phone had been ringing off the hook, local reporters interested in writing about Larryâs sons, all six of them. So far, Gina had avoided being interviewed. If she stayed here much longer, though, sheâd have to give some quotes. Sheâd thought about this and it wasnât necessarily a bad idea. If she admitted she was looking for Larryâs seventh son, perhaps someone who knew something about that damned notation in Larryâs journal might just come forward.
Her computer beeped again and she snapped it off. She needed to get away from the house, to consider the rest of her life, to find a way to control the ache in her heart whenever she thought about Trent.
Sheâd returned to the ranch to find him goneâhis things packed, his room empty. Blake had tried to reassure her that Trent would return, heâd call, heâd contact her, but she was certain it was a lie.
She walked up the stairs and changed into a pair of jeans and T-shirt. It was true Trent had asked her to marry him, but it had been a reaction, the âright thingâ to do. Obviously heâd had a change of heart and taken her rejection at face value. âSo what did you expect?â she asked herself as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail and eyed her reflection in the cracked mirror. âHearts and flowers? Love letters and diamonds? A tortured admission that he couldnât live without you?â She frowned at the woman in the mirror, the woman whose green eyes looked ready to fill with tears. âGet real, Gina. You know better.â
But you love him! Face it.
