CHAPTER 8

Ever since the night of the raccoon fiasco and Jake finding out about Doug, she hadn’t seen much of him. They had been there for over a week and all she could think about was Jake. It was driving her insane. Tim informed them that morning that Jake had to take care of some rodeo business off the ranch all day, and for them to head to the main house to help their mother get things set up for the crowds coming next week for the rodeo. Maggie was a treat to be around and loved talking about her boys. She found out so much about Jake; she smiled at the memory. Her stomach flipped excitedly as another memory popped into her mind of Jake’s parting words to her that night. ‘Especially you.’ But since that time, he hadn’t acted on anything at all, puzzling her something crazy.

Despite her ruling out men, she knew she was only fooling herself. Jake was different. There was an immediate connection there. While Doug always made her nervous, making her afraid to do something wrong, Jake did not. With Jake, she felt comfortable, like anything she said or did would be okay with him. She’d already made a fool of herself in front of him and he was still talking to her, even kissed her. Once again, her stomach tightened as her heart fluttered at the memory.

Taking the steps two at a time to their cabin, she walked in. Cindy stood in front of the mirror admiring herself. She had left early to get ready for her date with Sam. She walked in and sat on the edge of the bed. “So you finally got your date with Sam, huh?”

“Yes. Jake has been keeping Sam off the ranch with a bunch of rodeo business, but he finally had a night free.” Cindy twirled this way and that. “Does this dress look okay?”

Trisha looked at the simple black summer dress and smiled with a snort. “Cindy, anything looks good on you. You could wear a brown sack and still look amazing.” Trisha gave her a teasing narrowed eye stare. “I should really hate you for that.”

“You could never hate me.” Cindy did the duck lip face in the mirror before spinning toward Trisha, getting a good look at her. “You are a dirty mess. Are you sure you’re going to be okay here all by yourself?”

Trisha agreed; she was a dirty mess. Planting flowers and carrying bags of potting soil wasn’t clean work, not that Cindy would know anything about that. She ignored Cindy’s assessment. “I’ll be fine, Mom.” Trisha rolled her eyes. “Is Sam picking you up here?”

Just as she asked, there was a knock at their door. Excited, Cindy headed toward the door, fixing her hair on the way. Taking a deep breath, she opened it. “Hey, Sam.” Cindy smiled, making room for him to step in. “Let me get my purse.”

“Damn, woman. I’ll be fighting the men off you.” Sam watched Cindy’s ass as she collected her purse, then spotted Trisha sitting on the bed.
