He’d gone and done it now!

Joe stood tall, looking over the fields he had planted along with Ryan earlier the spring. Everything was coming along fine and good. But yet, inside he was fighting a war with himself, not knowing if marrying Kate had been the right thing to do.

Already the day had turned humid, the air thick with moisture. It was a good thing, they needed rain desperately.

“The barn is clean. I just checked it before coming out here.” It was Ryan.

Joe couldn’t bear to look at him. He felt like a cad, he’d hurt Ryan, and that was never intended. Even today, while he and Kate married, he could see it in Ryan’s eyes as he watched them tie the knot.

He nodded, not able to make eye contact. “It looks like rain, possibly a storm.” His gaze moved upward toward the sky. The sky was relatively clear with some overcast, but it was the air and once again the humidity that keened his senses. “I thought you were in town?”

“I was,” answered Ryan. “I stopped into the mercantile to buy something, a gift.”

“A gift?”

“For you and Kate—a wedding gift.”

Joe glanced at Ryan and then quickly looked to the fields again. “You didn’t have to do that. This is difficult for both of us and you don’t have to pretend to be okay with it.”

“I’m not pretending anything, Joe. But I’m making an effort. I did some thinking on my walk back from town. It isn’t fair to take my frustrations out on Kate. She’s innocent in this. She couldn’t and didn’t know what she was walking into. If she did, I don’t think she would have come.”

“I suppose not.” Ryan was right. No woman in her right mind would have walked into this. “Anyway, I’m sure Kate appreciated the gift. It was a good gesture on your behalf.”

“Like I said, I hold no ill will toward her. She’s not to fault for anything.” Ryan moved to his side. “Storm’s on the way. I can feel it.”

Joe nodded. “Is it always going to be like this?”

Ryan shrugged. “Maybe. Things will never be the same. I no longer have the man I love.”

Ryan’s words cut deep, and Joe winced upon hearing them. “You still have me.”

“No.”

“Yes, you do. I will always be there for you. That will never change as long as I have breath in my body.” He grabbed Ryan and pulled him close, looking into his eyes, eyes filled with sadness. “We’re a part of each other whether we like it or not.”

Ryan pushed against him. “You have a wife, Joe. Kate is where your heart should be from this day onward. Now please, let me go. I don’t like the look of the sky, and I think we best get things done before the storm’s upon us.”

He released Ryan.
