CHAPTER EIGHT

They rode on, but Makenna’s eyes kept cutting toward the house she’d lived in with Damien. She knew how evil he could be and she put nothing past him.

“Look, there’s the gap,” Titan exclaimed, pointing. Dismounting, he walked through the brush to get to the fence. “This was no accident, the wire was cut.”

Makenna knew she might be paranoid, but she even suspected Damien of doing this. “Can you fix it?”

“Yea, whoever did it was an amateur. They cut it next to the post. I can pull the strand tight again. I just have to put a few fence staples in.” He returned to the saddle to get his hammer, the wire stretcher and the staples.

While he was turned to face the fence, Makenna decided to join him, which wasn’t as easy as she first thought. The tennis shoes she wore didn’t give her any grip on the stirrup and the top of Valiant’s back was a long, long way from the ground. Still…if she could just hold on to the saddle horn and swing her leg over… “Oh, crap…” she murmured as her foot slipped and down she went.

But this time she didn’t hit the ground. Strong arms caught her in mid-air. “I can see now that catching you when you fall is going to be a fulltime job.”

Makenna didn’t argue, she was just glad he was willing to take on the task. “Can I help?

“Sure.” He showed her how to hold the wire. “Watch your fingers, those barbs are sharp.” Before they were through, they found two more places where the wire had been cut. At the last one, Makenna saw the errant cow and calf wandering about fifty yards down a hill near a small stream. “There they are!”

Together they herded them back through the gap. It didn’t take Titan long to fix the fence, but it did take a couple more hours for them to ride about half the distance around. “I’m getting hungry, how about you?” he asked.

“I could eat a horse.” Makenna sighed, her stomach rumbling.

“Shhhh, you’ll make Valiant nervous.” He teased. “I propose we head back to the cabin. I still want to check the rest of the fence, but I’m ninety percent certain those are the only gaps. Most of the other borders the road and I drove around that part a couple of days ago.”

“I’m not tired, so don’t worry about me,” she assured him.

“Well, there’s still the matter of the surprise,” he reminded her.

“Okay. You convinced me.” She sighed happily.

As Valiant picked his way back down the trail toward the cabin, Titan talked to her about his life and asked questions about her own. Even though they’d known one another for some time, this was their first chance to really share. “What are some things you like to do for fun?”

Makenna thought about her answer. “It’s been a long time since I was able to do a lot of the things I used to enjoy.” As she spoke, she
