When Ally finally pulled into the barn and parked the ATV, she was shaking. The ride down had been harrowing, but not as harrowing as coming face-to-face with Wes Holden in his home and being rebuffed. Her steps were dragging even more than usual as she walked to the end of the barn, unrolled the garden hose at the spigot and turned on the water. It seemed odd to be sheltered from rain and still be standing in water, but she needed to clean the mud from the four-wheeler before it dried. Porter wouldn’t mind that she’d used it, but he wouldn’t appreciate it being left in a filthy condition.

Once she finished, she covered it with a tarp, just as Porter always did, then turned the water on her feet and sluiced the worst of the mud from her jeans and shoes. After everything was finished and the hose rolled back up, she was reluctant to go back to the house.

When she’d been small, the barn had been her refuge. She’d played in the loft with the barn cats and made playhouses among the bales of hay. Her brothers would sneak cookies and cold bottles of pop up to her, despite her mother’s warnings that it would ruin her appetite. Back then, her world had been perfect.

Ally glanced up at the loft, then looked away. Like her dreams, those years were gone. The reality of life was that here in the mountains, she was a woman past her prime. It was likely she would never marry, but that didn’t seem quite as devastating as it once had. She’d grown accustomed to being alone. When a gust of wind blew rain in on her face, instead of stepping back, she walked out into the storm.
