Cody wasn’t in the trailer when Shane entered a short while later, but he didn’t give it much thought. His brother loved women, and they loved him. He probably had more homes away from their little trailer home than a tomcat.

Shane threw his clothes on a chair and fairly collapsed onto his bed. His body was past tired, but his mind just wouldn’t shut off. Memories of Kate kept invading his thoughts, and an image of her face seemed ready to be his permanent companion. A long sigh slipped from his lips. The sense of loss that had settled within him at the sight of that man on her patio felt deeper than anything he’d ever experienced. He’d believed he had left all hope of anything ever happening between them again behind him a long time ago, but this trip to Reno had done nothing if not show him how wrong he’d been, how much he hadn’t known about himself.

Or maybe it was what he hadn’t wanted to know about himself.

Shane punched a fist into the pillow a few times, rolled onto his side, and closed his eyes. If there was anything else about himself he wasn’t aware of, he felt certain now that’s the way he wanted to keep it. Hidden.

He tried to turn his mind to other things. If he was going to expand the operations on the ranch he’d bought in Colorado, and retire there next year as he’d planned, he needed to rack up a few more wins, get the championship again, and sign a couple more lucrative endorsements. Then his future would be set.

A future without Kate, a little voice in the back of his mind whispered.

He ordered it to shut up, and concentrated on falling asleep.

It seemed like sleep had just dragged him into its soft cocoon of darkness when someone began knocking on the trailer’s metal door.

Shane jerked on the blanket he’d dragged over himself sometime during the night and pulled it over his head, but it didn’t drown out the sound.

He grabbed a pillow and fairly smothered himself beneath it.

“Shane,” Dee called. “Shane? I know you’re in there. Open the door.”

“Damn females,” he mumbled. He rolled onto his back and, as sunlight filtered through the nearby window and hit him square in the eye, he cursed again, adjusted his position, and stared up at the bottom of Cody’s bunk, waiting for him to either start swearing like the Devil’s assistant, or fall out of bed to answer the door. After another moment, and another round of Dee’s knocking and calling to him, Shane remembered that Cody hadn’t been there when he came in. He tumbled out of bed and staggered to the door, throwing its latch. “What?” he growled at the same time.

Dee yanked the door open instantly. “Hey, what the heck took you so long?” she said, smiling and bounding into the trailer.

Shane glowered at her. She always had been a morning person.

She stopped and, mocking a cringe, looked him up and down.
