Chapter Seven

“Wait! What? He took you to meet his parents? Oh, my gosh, Tara! That is so huge. It’s… it’s…” Ellen struggled to find a fitting word.

“Colossal,” Tara supplied, plopping down on her bed with the phone held in her hand.

After Brett’s knee-quaking kiss on the back porch, and those he’d lavished upon her throughout the day, she felt the need to talk to someone. The first person who came to mind was her best friend. Although it was late in Atlanta, she realized it was still early in Portland and called Ellen.

Quickly relaying the details to her friend, Ellen had confirmed Tara’s thoughts on Brett taking her to meet his parents. When she’d first walked into the impressive house, she’d conjured up any number of images of Brett’s parents being uppity, looking down their nose at her. The opposite seemed to be true. Tara had hidden her surprise at finding Brett’s parents in the kitchen, cooking. She assumed with their wealth, an array of servants would have been at their disposal. Brett had mentioned that his mother liked to give the staff Sundays and Mondays off and enjoyed cooking, especially if they had company.

Randa and Alex Cutler were as much of a surprise as their son had been. Tara had no idea he was part of the family that owned the expansive horse farm down the road from Magnolia Rose. Mistakenly, she’d assumed he was just a cowboy, hired to work for Ashley and Wade for a month. Instead, he turned out to be the wealthy owner of the equines on top of being a hunky cowboy who was good with horses.

“This is all pretty incredible, Tara. I mean, here you thought the Bradley Cooper look-alike was just a cute guy who handled the horses. In one magical day, you discover he’s the charming son of a wealthy family who has their own plantation. I mean, how cool is that?” Ellen giggled. “And I love that his name is Brett. Brett Cutler. He just sounds like a hero from one of those romance novels I love to read.”

Tara couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes, he does, but what should I do?”

“Do? About what?”

Exasperated, Tara sighed. “About Brett, you goose! I mean, two more weeks and I’ll be on a plane heading back to Portland. This month will be relegated to a wonderful, exciting memory. It seems wrong to waste his time when I’m not staying here.”

“I don’t think it’s a waste of time to date a perfectly wonderful guy. Come on, Tara. When was the last time you dated anyone you like as well as Brett?” Ellen asked, already knowing the answer.

“Never. I’ve never dated anyone like him.” Tara rolled over on her back and stared at the lacy canopy overhead. “He’s sweet and thoughtful, yet rugged and all man. And he has the most beautiful blue eyes, and his smile. Oh, my gracious! When he smiled today, I actually caught a glimpse of dimples.”

“No way,” Ellen practically squealed in the phone.
