CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Leigh Ann had no idea why she offered to keep Trey while Wes went on his farm call. Other than she liked the kid, really liked him, and wanted to spend a little more time with him before she left here. He was funny, and charming and so innocent. The world through his eyes was a wonderful place. So unlike his jaded father.

Like a broken record, Wes's words to his mother had been playing in her mind all afternoon. The more they played, the more irritated she became. How dare he, do that to her, say those things about her as if knew her. The man evidently didn't know a damned thing about her. She was not selfish, she cared about people too much. Many, many times in her life, she had put their needs above her own.

She didn't cheat or lie, either like his ex-wife had done. Well, except for the tiny lie by omission. She still hadn't told him about being Miss Texas. Because she had promised her sister she wouldn't. But Leigh Ann was a good person, there was no reason for him to think that about her. She hadn't done anything to make him believe that about her.

He wasn't any better than the men she had been engaged to before. They had all used her, or wanted to do that. The only difference was at least those four men treated her with respect, and like they thought she was worth something other than a good time in bed. Even if that was only decorating their arm, making other men envy them, and making them feel important, when she was with them. Wes treated her like she was worthless, a waste of his time. He would get rid of her, but not before he paid for being such an ass.

Leigh Ann wasn't vindictive, before now she didn't have a mean bone in her body. She let everyone walk all over her, and smiled while they did it. Not anymore, she was changing that. Today. Wes had done her a favor by making her mad enough to find her backbone. She would need it to find her independence, and maybe then her sister would respect her at least.

The front door flung back on its hinges and Trey ran inside, waited for Silas to follow him, then slammed it behind him. His sneakers squeaked across the floor, and he skidded to a stop beside the sofa.

"Hey, Miss Leigh Ann!" he said with a grin then put his hands on his hips. "Where'd my daddy go?"

"He had a farm call," she informed then wrinkled her nose. "What's that smell?" she asked swallowing hard as her sandwich seesawed in her stomach.

"Silas found a dead coon, and rolled on it. He likes to do that." With a shrug of his shoulders, he added with a small smile, "I tried to stop him..."

Gagging a couple times, Leigh Ann realized it was both the boy and the dog that reeked. "Goodness, ya'll stink," she said pinching her nose.
