CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Grant

I cruise the long graveled driveway to the Weston sisters' home and step on the brakes halfway down. What the hell am I doing?

Rolling down the window, I try to draw in a deep breath, but nearly choke on the humidity. The air is so thick I feel damp within seconds.

I'm not such a nature addict that I avoid air conditioning. There's nothing like walking into my cool house after a day in the heat and the sun. But I can never forget that it's a false climate, distancing me from the real world and preventing my body from acclimating to natural temperatures.

The searing, humid heat this afternoon is out of season for early October. The last gasps of a summer that doesn't want to go to bed. Hopefully, a sign of cooler temperatures on the horizon.

Giving up on trying to breathe deep and center myself, I take in the view of the mountains and the forest, the Weston sisters' property still out of sight around the next curve.

It's been twenty-four hours since I last saw Dani. Over a hundred since I felt her lips on mine. A smart man would wait for her to come to him. A smart man would acknowledge she's far too different from me and move on.

Unfortunately, my brain has taken a backseat today. My brain knows I should be out looking into the latest Bigfoot sightings or hiking the trails on the East side of the park after the high winds we had last night.

My brain also acknowledges it's technically my day off and all that can wait. My brain is not wholly against pursuing Dani or at least finding out what she's up to, because it's most likely trouble.

I run a hand through my hair and notice it's shaking slightly with nerves. When was the last time a woman made me nervous? When was the last time I missed a woman, who was barely even my friend, this bad?

I can't remember a time.

And I've never been very good at denying myself what I want.

So I put my truck back into drive and I let my gut and my heart lead. The fallout will come, I'm certain of it, but I have a feeling I might have a lot of fun until it does.

Right now, I can really use some fun in my life. Or maybe that's the lie I'm telling myself, so I'll get to see her again.

The lie I'm telling her is that I need to check on Mari.

She won't see through that one. Probably.

I round the curve in the drive and the Weston sisters' house comes into view. The large circular drive is full of trucks and cars and what looks like a horse trailer.

Has she found another rescue animal already? She's not even licensed yet.

Not that she needs a license to take in a couple of animals, but if she's going to run a true sanctuary farm, she's going to need a license.

I know because I stayed up late last night reading up on all the rules and regulations involved with owning a sanctuary farm.
