I follow Trent through the house, and I can hear Derrick’s heavy footsteps behind me. I cross my arms over my chest as if that’s going to calm my racing heart. When Trent mentioned it, I expected a small rickety cabin. Well, this is more like a guesthouse than anything. It’s fully furnished with big, dark wood furniture. There’s two bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, and kitchen. Probably the biggest seller of the place is the back porch. It’s a covered porch and has the most beautiful view of Heart Mountain I’ve ever seen.

I love it, but I’m still going to tell Trent no. “It’s beautiful.” Even I can hear the awe in my voice. But I continue. “But it’s not a good idea. I can’t rent from one of my clients.” I look away, uncomfortable under Derrick’s heavy stare. “It could cause issues.”

I’m sure Trent thinks I’m saying that because of me being the vet for the ranch. But in all honesty, it’s because of my night with Derrick. That’s what would cause issues. I’m a mess right now, with his brooding eyes staring a hole in me. Living on the ranch, even temporarily, would be too much. Plus, obviously, Derrick’s already proven that he’s an ass. Who walks out after the night we had and not say a word? And maybe it’s not just the reason that he behaved poorly leaving the way he did, but because I’m so attracted to him too. No, it’s better if I stay as far away as possible from Derrick Keller.

“I agree,” Derrick says. His quick and gruff agreement with my excuse settles the matter.

“Thank you for showing me the cabin, though, Trent. I promise I can live with some remodeling. It won’t be bad.”

I don’t wait for a response, but instead walk off the back porch, take another look at the view, and then circle the house to head back toward the barn. My abrupt departure leaves no choice for the two brothers. They follow behind me, and as soon as I get to my car, I assure them I’ll be back to check on the steer the next day.

Once I leave the Keller ranch, I know I need to do something to expend the confusing surge of energy I got upon seeing Derrick again. I decide I’m going to call it a day, and I send a group text to my friends to let them know I’m going to go work out at the gym and then go to Patty Cakes for dinner if any of them would like to join me. I welcome the company.
