CHAPTER FIVE

Monday had avoided any contact with me after our kiss this morning like my bad judgment was catching, and so after agreeing to meet up in the afternoon to scatter Gran's ashes, I decided it was time I paid a visit to Luke. I needed to talk to him, to apologize for assuming the worst, and to mend those fences. Okay, I also wanted to pick his brain on how to win Monday back and see just how bleak things were looking in that department.

Unlike Monday, Luke didn't seem to have any reservations about welcoming me back into his life. Monday had called him to let him know I was on my way, and he met me at the front porch, a hot cup of coffee in his hands and a smile on his face. Like most people around these parts, Luke still lived on his family ranch, helping his father keep it running smoothly and training for the day that he would take over the property. There were nearly as many memories lurking here as there were at at Gran’s. He ushered me into the house and a familiar face greeted me.

"Tanya!" I grinned, pulling her in close for a bear hug. "Good lord, girl! It's been forever. What the hell have you been up to?"

Tanya swung her gleaming dark hair over her shoulder and beamed at Luke. "Oh you know, this and that. I'm studying Nursing up at the community college for now, and Luke's mom and I are busy planning the wedding, so that takes up large chunks of time. You know how my mom is about these things."

Luke groaned as he moved behind Tanya, pulling her back into his chest and pressing a kiss into her hair. "Don't remind me. I swear running off to Vegas looks better every day," he muttered, lifting his brows at me.

"Don't even joke." Tanya twisted to give him a stern look. "You'd break my momma's heart, and your momma's too. They want a big wedding, and they're getting a big wedding. Just give them their day and we'll save ourselves years of grumbling about how tacky it is to get married by Elvis around the dinner table."

My eyes darted from Tanya to Luke and back to Tanya.

"You guys are engaged?" I asked, not disguising the surprise in my voice. "When did this happen?"

Luke had always had a thing for Tanya but never had the sack to pursue it. I was happy for him, but I felt like an even bigger fool for believing there could be anything between Monday and Luke. How could I have forgotten how much Luke had loved the raven-haired beauty before me? But then I never could understand how anybody could fail to be in love with Monday.

"I popped the question about a year ago." Luke grinned.

"Which you would have known if you could be bothered to call home once in a while." Tanya's eyes narrowed at me. I hung my head and stared at the floor and flushed.
