Chapter Twenty-One

Justin got into the truck and drove away from the hotel before he changed his mind and decided to stay.

He reached for his cell and speed-dialed Rohn. The man answered on the third ring.

“Hey, Rohn. I’m on my way to Bonnie’s house with the trailer.”

“Okay, great. I was just going to call to see about your ETA. I’ll meet you over there at her place.”

“Um, I was planning on just unhooking and leaving the trailer in the driveway, if that’s okay. I mean, I’ll help you unload tomorrow if you want, but I kind of wanted to get home right away to check on Momma.”

“Of course. You go. Do what you need to do. I think I’m still gonna head over to the house to take a look inside the trailer. I want to see what I’m in for. Was there a lot of stuff to move?”

Justin laughed. “Yeah.”

“Was it a lot of furniture or mostly boxes?”

“A sofa, a recliner, a breakfront, a couple of dressers and mattresses. Some of the heaviest books I’ve ever had to lift.” Justin let that all sink in before Rohn got any ideas that he was going to start unloading the trailer by himself.

Rohn groaned. “A’ight. We’ll deal with it tomorrow. With the four of us working, it shouldn’t take all that long.”

“Nope. Not with all of us it won’t.”

“Thanks a lot for doing this, Justin.”

“No problem at all. It was my pleasure.”

Unloading the furniture was no problem. But the blushing sweet thing with the secret—the one in the hotel room with the king-size bed—yeah, she might be a problem.

“Will I see you in the morning or do you need a day to recover?” Rohn asked.

“I’m a little stiff and I’ll be more than happy to get out from behind the wheel, but I should be good to work in the morning.”

“I’ll see you in the morning, then. Have a good night.”

“A’ight. You too.”

Justin made short work of backing into Bonnie’s driveway. He didn’t bother to even shut off the truck while he unhooked the stock trailer. Instead, he just hopped down and strode around to the back while the engine idled. He’d been hauling stock to rodeos for Rohn for long enough that he could uncouple a trailer from the hitch in his sleep.

Hell, after some trips he’d been so tired it felt as if he had been sleepwalking by the time they got back to Rohn’s to unload the stock.

Hoisting himself up and sliding back behind the wheel, he was more than happy to be almost home so he could get out of this vehicle. He loved his brother and he loved this truck, but it had been a long three days of driving.

He’d have to get into his own truck and drive back to Phoenix and the hotel in a little while, but he’d be okay with that once he stretched his legs for a bit. Grabbed something to eat. Talked to his mother.

His anxiousness to get home had him driving through town as fast as he dared.
