Chapter Nine

He didn’t want to get up, so Reed lay in his bed for a while thinking about Callie, like he had so many times in the past.

Their kisses blasted his boots off.

He could tell she was holding back, and he couldn’t blame her. They needed to get acquainted all over again.

Callie was quite a woman. In spite of moving all over Beaumont and dealing with her father’s gambling addiction, her mother’s breast cancer, and raising her brothers, she was a woman who could handle anything that life dealt her.

Then again, with the exception of her brothers’ football game, they’d always been doing things that revolved around him or his family: autograph appearances, TV tapings, working at the ranch and a doctor’s appointment to which she was kind enough to drive him.

He was going to ask Callie what she’d like to do. She only had to name it and they’d do it.

He put some coffee on, took a shower, got dressed and crutched out to the barn. Jace, one of the cowboys, was saddle-breaking a horse in the corral. Leaning against the wooden fence, Reed watched and cheered Jace on, wishing he could be the one to break the horse. He and his brothers loved to do that.

He could have asked one of the hands for a ride, but he wanted Callie’s company. He chuckled. He was taking her away from her work, and she’d let him know it.

Reed moved on to the ramrod’s house, where the construction workers were putting on a new roof. Later they’d relocate to the inside of the house and do some updating. He stopped and talked to the contractor.

On his way back, he went to the barn, where another construction company was adding a tack room to the barn and fixing some things on the inside.

He thought about Callie and how she’d had great ideas after interviewing the contractors. They’d compared notes, had a discussion, and he’d taken her advice.

Another builder’s crew was hard at work on the cowboys’ bunkhouse. He decided not to level it but to update that, too. And it needed a new roof. He decided not to walk over there.

So he walked to the house to sit outside, to enjoy the beautiful day and wait for Callie to pick him up.

After a short while in the sun, he saw Callie driving down the long dirt road that led to the house. She passed under the cast-iron arch that read Beaumont Ranch, with a big, fancy B on top.

Hurricane Daphne had knocked the sign down, but it was the first thing his brother Luke had put back up when he was here.

Whatever construction crew he liked the best would get the job of putting up a portico that used to be there. Hurricane Daphne had got that, too.

His mother had always liked the portico. She could enter the house without getting wet in bad weather.

Callie stopped, and he put his crutches on the backseat and got in on the front passenger side.
