Chapter Fifteen

While he’d thought life would get busier now that he was back at the ranch, he’d underestimated exactly how stinking busy. Not just Gabe, but the entire Coleman clan were determined to keep him going from before sunrise to well after dark.

They’d always shared tasks, but this year it seemed everyone had more work than workers, and every day he had to make a choice. When he got a few minutes free, he could use them to move into the house with Jesse, or he could steal away and spend time with Laurel.

It was a no-brainer.

They met in the strangest places, but Rafe didn’t mind. He’d text her a warning, and if she was free, they’d meet in the middle somewhere between the field or the barn he’d been working and wherever she was at. They fit in a couple of fast food restaurants, and another picnic, this time with a lot less fancy sandwiches—peanut butter that he’d tossed together before leaving his place.

If it had been up to him, he’d probably have been living above the garage at his folks when the snow flew. Laurel, it seemed, had other plans.

Rafe: you at work?

Laurel: you done? Coming up for air?

Rafe: not done. My tractor broke. Gabe is making me take a break while they fix it. Then I get to work until midnight.

Laurel: awesome. Come to the rental.

He wasn’t sure where she was talking about.

Rafe: your place?

Laurel: no, yours. Your new place, with Jesse. Which is your old place, I guess.

He had no idea what she was doing, but he hopped in his truck and made the short trip, pulling into the yard to discover his cousin Trevor’s overgrown beast of a truck backed up nearly to the door.

He peeked into the truck bed surprised to recognize the half dozen or so boxes in the back.

“Hey, you made good time.” Laurel slipped out the front door and into his arms, giving him a big squeeze as she pressed a quick kiss on his lips. “Only a couple more trips, then you have to do the rest of the work, because I’m not unpacking for you.”

Rafe looked around in confusion. “Where’s Trevor?”

“I don’t know. Your cousin and Becky must be out in her truck, because I stopped by and the house was empty.”

He caught himself chuckling. “You stole Trevor’s truck?”

“Can’t steal something he keeps giving away,” she pointed out, elbowing past him with an oversized box balanced precariously in her arms.

That was true. Trevor left the keys in his truck as if he were begging someone to steal it. Borrow it—since this was his girlfriend with the goods and all.

“I’ll put in a good word for you when my cousin the RCMP officer shows up to arrest you.” He lowered the box he’d carried to the living room floor. “How’d you get this stuff here?”

She shrugged, pushing him back toward the door so they could grab the final two boxes. “I had the afternoon off, and you were busy. It didn’t seem like you were going to get to do this anytime soon, so I figured I’d help.
