Hunter

After I picked up a few bags of feed and talked to Charlie Rogers for about fifteen minutes, Kendall met me outside the feed store. In her hands, she held three shopping bags.

“What in the world could you possibly find in that small-town country store to fill up three bags?”

Her eyes were ablaze with excitement. “You would not believe the cute outfits I found in there! I even bought myself a pair of cowboy boots.”

Charlie looked at me, then at Kendall, and back to me. “City girl, huh?”

I nodded.

“You went off and picked yourself a real fine young man here, miss. Hunter Owens is a class act. A good man right down to the bones.”

Kendall smiled. “Yes, he is, sir.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at her attempt to throw in a southern accent. The girl was from Georgia, after all… but she certainly lacked the accent.

The trip back to the ranch was filled with shoptalk. I got Kendall caught up on what had been going on the last two weeks, how well the new coach was doing, and even how the players were coming around. Even Josh McEvans seemed to be getting his shit together. Of course, I knew that stemmed from our announcement in practice that we did not know who the starting quarterback would be. The fact that we hired a third-string quarterback, as well, had lit a fire under his ass.

Once we got back to the ranch, Kendall asked to see the garden out back, and we spent a good amount of time working in it. My mother had, of course, done an amazing job getting it in order for spring, and I was hoping the new foreman I hired would keep up with it. Once mom and I left, there wouldn’t be anyone at the ranch to take care of it.

Kendall stood and wiped the sweat from her brow. She’d been working in silence next to me and my mother as we pulled weeds, planted vegetables, and tried to fix the sprinkler system. It was no surprise that she was a hard worker and liked to get her hands dirty. I knew she came from a pretty wealthy family, but it was clear her folks had given her balance. Kendall wasn’t a snob or afraid of hard work. Working together in my garden had triggered something in me, and I wanted more of it. Hell, if I was being honest, I wanted Kendall here on the ranch with me. That thought made my heart drop. She had her own dreams, and I wouldn’t stand in the way of them, no matter how sick the idea of living in Tennessee while Kendall lived in Atlanta made me.

“I’m going to turn on that sprayer in the last bed down there!” I shouted. Kendall was leaning over it and lifted her hand up to give me the go-ahead. I flipped on the zone and suddenly heard screaming.

When I turned around, I watched as a gush of water from the flower bed sprayed directly up at Kendall.
