“YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE LET her get away from you like that,” Bode Jenkins said, over a gin and tonic that same evening. Sidney Tunstall shrugged his shoulders, not certain what difference it made to one of the wealthiest ranchers in these parts whether he got married or not.

It made a huge difference to Bode. He intended to make certain the nuptials of Darla and Judah never happened. If there was one way to thwart Fiona—and he knew all about her little plan to grow her own zip code—it was to derail this wedding. “Your inheritance is all tied up in you getting married, and as the executor of your grandfather’s estate, I have to make certain everything is proper.” He gave Sidney a pensive look. “Who are you going to marry, since you’ve let Darla get away?”

Sidney shrugged. “I don’t know.”

“You have only another month before it all goes to charity.” Bode shook his head. “It sure would be a shame to lose out on a couple million bucks.”

Sidney shrugged again, not happy about the situation, but not fighting it, either. “That’s just pocket change to some people, I guess. I lived without it before, and I can keep living without it.”

Bode slammed a palm down on the mahogany table, one of the few nice furnishings he’d bothered to splurge on for his home. Julie had insisted on it. Lately, she’d been decorating a lot, despite his propensity to groan over the money spent. “You younger generation don’t know what money is. I wouldn’t let a penny get away from me, much less two million.” Bode considered the man across from him. “You don’t throw away a fortune, son.”

“Under the parameters it was left to me, I can.” Sidney straightened. “There’s nothing wrong with waiting until I find the woman I love, Mr. Jenkins. And in a world where people now live to be a hundred, being a thirty-five-year-old bachelor isn’t an emergency.”

“Well, your grandfather thought you were dragging your feet. That’s all I know.” Bode shrugged, wondering how he could get the good doc to get off the dime and grab Darla away from that wild-eyed Callahan. Fiona’s nephew had just stormed in there and thrown Sidney off the train, and apparently put stars of romance in Darla Cameron’s eyes. He’d heard all about that from her mother, Mavis, who was the silliest, most cotton-headed woman he’d ever met. It was all love-this, and love-that, and Bode’d had it to the back teeth with all the Callahans and their ability to get everything they wanted. “If you liked Darla, why’d you surrender your ground, son?”

“Because I liked her,” Sidney said, “I didn’t love her. And she didn’t love me.”

“I see,” Bode said thoughtfully. “You were going to take the money and run.”

“No,” Sidney said, showing a flash of temper, “I was going to take the money that was left to me, and be a husband to Darla and a father to her children. That’s what the plan was.”

“And you were never going to divorce?”

Sidney looked at him.
