The following evening, Seth whistled at the dogs as they bounded up to the front door. “We’re not goin’ in that way,” he said. “Come on.”

Jenna had texted to meet her in the backyard, and he went around the corner of the house, Winner barking behind him. Maybe the dog had some sort of canine code. No matter what she’d barked at the other two dogs, they came.

Jenna appeared at the corner of the house, her hands gloved and her face red and sweaty. Wow, she was beautiful, and with the sun haloing her with golden rays, Seth thought he was seeing an angel.

“Hey,” he called to her. “You’re doing yard work?”

“Someone has to weed the pumpkin patch. Isaac planted them, so it really should be him. But. Well.” She exhaled and wiped the back of her glove across her forehead. A smudge of dirt appeared there, and then the dogs reached her.

She giggled as she leaned over to pat them all, and Cloudy seemed especially happy to see her.

“I can send over one of my boys,” Seth said, intending to help her if he could. With Jake now on the ranch full-time, Seth could probably spare someone for Jenna’s yard work.

“Oh, Isaac’s just been so busy at the hospital lately,” she said. “And I don’t mind, really.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I’m not the one who doesn’t like to be outside.” She nudged him with a palm against his chest, and Seth caught her hand as she pulled it back.

“Well, I like kissing outside.” He chuckled as he brought her close and kissed her, the moment between them sobering quickly. She kissed him back with enthusiasm, and Seth sure did like feeling like someone cared about him.

He knew he had family who did, but there was nothing like the love of a good woman. She doesn’t love you, he told himself as he pulled away.

But he wondered if she could.

“I have her food bowls in the truck,” he said. “We can bring ‘em in later.” He stepped fully around the corner to find pumpkins spreading their vines everywhere. “Oh, wow. This is a pumpkin patch.”

“And they have one as part of Octoberfest.” She peeled her gloves off. “I want to go to that.”

“Yeah?”

“I love pumpkins,” she said. “And pumpkin flavored things. And pumpkin candles and pumpkin everything.”

“Oh, you’re one of those,” he said. “Have you had the pumpkin latte yet?”

“Have I had the pumpkin latte yet.” She didn’t phrase it as a question and immediately scoffed. “Who do you think you’re dealing with?” She gave him a flirtatious look over her shoulder and bent to pick up the hand shovel she’d been using. “Help me clean up here, would you? Then we can eat.”

“Sure.” He bent to pick up a pile of weeds, throwing them into a nearby wheelbarrow. “You didn’t have to cook.”

“I didn’t,” she said. “Well, unless you count sticking a piece of meat in the slow cooker cooking. Which I don’t.”

They finished outside, and Seth followed her into the kitchen through the back door.
