Chapter 18

Parker

I swing the stall closed with a little too much force, and when I turn around to grab my cap off the ground, the door whaps me in the behind. It’s Wednesday, but it feels like a Monday.

After breakfast, Bluebonnet kissed me. Only because everyone was around. It was our first kiss since the wedding, and it has me all wound up. But I need to work out my frustration before I get home because she relies on the calm Parker, the friendly husband who cuddles her and listens to her. All things I love doing. There are just other things I’d also like to be doing.

As I’m wiping dirt and hay off my jeans, Kent walks in. “Hey. You okay?”

“Fine.”

“Is that fine as in I don’t want to talk about it or truly fine? Because you don’t seem fine.” He shifts into his dad stance. “You can talk to me, Parker.”

“I’m adjusting to married life.”

“She kissed you this morning. Can’t be all bad.”

“There were people around. That’s why. She doesn’t want people to think the marriage is fake.”

Kent lifts his brows. “Is it fake?”

“No. It’s a real marriage. But it’s . . . not like your marriage.”

He stays quiet.

Apparently, I’m in a chatty mood because my mouth keeps moving. “It’s just hard because she wears my shirts to bed. A different one every night, so they’re all going to start smelling like her.” I pull my shirt away from me and step toward Kent. “Here. Smell.”

“I don’t want to smell your shirt. I believe you.” After rocking his head from side to side, he adjusts his hat. “We need to double date. I’ll talk to Poppy. Y’all free this weekend?”

“We only have something on Sunday afternoon, but I’ll ask Bluebonnet. She’d probably like that.”

He nods, then turns toward the door. “If you quit sniffing your shirt, you’ll get more work done.”

“Thanks for the tip.” I wave my hand in dismissal and get back to work. It’s an hour until lunch, and there’s still a lot I need to get done.
