Chapter Seventeen

NEVADA RETURNED TO the ranch house to grab his dinner before heading to the new bunkhouse. Deciding there was no need to continue to stay at the ranch house, he’d packed his things.

Amy sat on the glider in her favorite spot.

He made a detour and came to her. Looked like they’d made good progress since their talk last night. “You’re not sleeping?”

“Not yet.”

He sat with her and set the glider in motion.

“This place feels quiet in a strange way. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it again.”

Nevada took her hand and threaded his fingers through hers. “Give yourself time. It heals wounds.”

“Did yours heal? Have you ever wondered who your parents are?” She glanced at him. “Uh, I’m sorry. You don’t have to answer that.”

“I’ll always wonder about that all my life. But if they didn’t think I was worth it, then, I don’t pine away for them. Life on the street, sleeping in the subway made me strong.”

“I always loved this place, until mom died. I never saw my parents argue and may never understand what happened that day.” She sighed. “Mom always had a temper. But she was an amazing person. Dad understood her. I always told myself I would have their kind of love someday.”

“And now?”

“I don’t know. I guess I still want that. What about you?”

He chuckled. “I met this girl last year and we hung out when we could. I thought we had started to build a relationship. Long story short, I was sadly mistaken.”

He didn’t want to repeat Brooke's words. She'd called him a failure. Words he tried not to take to heart, but it wasn't easy.

Amy let the matter drop. Which was good. She stirred things in his heart and he had it bad for her. But that was his secret for now.

Staying at the bunkhouse would help his resolve. As long as she intended to sell, she wasn’t planning to stick around. What skills did he have to live in her world? Next to none.

She leaned against him. “How’s your place? Isn’t it cold, still?”

“I use the mobile heater.” Nevada draped his arm around her and she snuggled closer.

“Why did you decide to move?”

He shrugged. “No reason.”

She sighed. “Here we go again. There’s a reason for everything we do. You probably don’t want to tell me. Is it so hard—”

Nevada turned and cupped her cheek. He leaned down and pressed his lips against hers and then withdrew. “Is that reason enough?”

She stared at him, her eyes wide.

Nevada held her gaze, giving her time to move away.

He kissed her again. Briefly. He breathed. “Amy, I can’t be in the same house with you and not act on my feelings. Does that satisfy your curiosity now?”

She nodded.

Nevada dropped his hand.

“I think you should go home,” she said smiling.

I’m home. Amy, I’m home. “Good advice. See you in the morning.”

If he didn’t leave, he would kiss her again against everything he’d told himself.
