Chapter Nineteen
Maddox
Andie knocks on the back door at seven. What I see takes my breath away. Sheâs wearing a sheer top that reveals the black tank underneath, jean shorts, and cowboy boots. Holy god. Cowboy boots have never looked so sexy.
âCat got your tongue?â
I try to stop staring but canât. âIâve never seen your legs before. Youâre always wearing jeans.â
âHave to for work, but the nights are getting a lot warmer.â She looks past me. âCan I come in?â
I chuckle. âRight.â I open the screen and move out of the way, grabbing a treat and throwing it on the back steps for Beau.
She takes her hat off. I put it on an empty peg by the door.
âGranddad told me you tried to give him Vivianâs hat. That was really nice of you.â
âI donât understand why he didnât take it.â
âMaybe he sensed it wasnât time for you to let it go.â
I motion to the table. âHave a seat. We can eat before we tackle everything.â
I get the pizza box warming in the oven. âI figured you for a pepperoni and veggie girl, but just in case, I ordered half with only cheese.â
âIâll eat anything but anchovies and pineapple.â
I make a face. âYou and me both. Wine?â
âSure. I have a feeling we might need a glass or two to get through tonight. Are you sure youâre ready to do this?â
âIt has to be done sooner or later, and with Aaron coming, I figured now was a good time.â
âYour dad didnât want to be here for it?â
âHe took some things with him the last time he was here. He asked me to box up most of the family photos and save any nice jewelry for my sisters. The rest, her clothes and stuff, can be donated.â
âItâs what she would have wanted.â
I put plates on the table and fill up our glasses. âI really like your granddad.â
âHe likes you, too.â
âWhat did he say about your inheritance?â
âI havenât told him yet.â
Iâm surprised. âWhy not?â
âI want to do something nice for him. If he knew about the money, heâd insist I use it all for myself.â
âWhat do you want to do?â
âIâm not sure yet. Iâd love to get him out of the retirement home. I know itâs a nice place, but he misses being around horses. Iâve been thinking about getting us a house with a stable where I can keep Baby Blue. I could have help come in a few hours a day to make sure his needs are met.â
âThere are three bedrooms in the guesthouse, you know. Why not have him come stay with you? If itâs horses you want him around, there are a hundred and eighty of them just steps away, and there are plenty of people on the ranch who can pop in and make sure he has everything he needs.â
âI donât want to move him twice. Iâm only here until the Victor thing is over.â
âYou can stay as long as you like, Andie. Iâm not going to kick you out when they haul that lowlife to jail.
