Chapter Nine

Kelly worked all night to get the backlog of work she’d been procrastinating on doing to Candace. She called her this morning to make sure everything was all right with her delivery.

“Hey, I’m sorry it took me so long. It’s been a whirlwind.”

“I understand. I normally wouldn’t be so pushy, but the bride was hounding me. It looks great. Have you had a chance to open a bank account there yet?”

Groaning, Kelly added that to her list of things to do. “No. I’ll get that done today and send you wiring instructions so you can pay me. Although I should have you send it directly to Home Depot.”

“I think I have a line on someone looking for some rustic pictures for their engagement.”

“We’ve got rustic. Where are they from?”

“They’ve got money to burn, so wherever they want to be. I’m going to check and see if they would be interested in a Texas ranch. The bride is a horse freak. How soon can you get me pictures of Pippi and Sunflower?”

“Today. Scour Janice’s Facebook for pictures of Black Dahlia and Synergy. They’re heading back home. When are they looking to get these shots done?”

“As soon as possible.”

Yes! This was just the break she needed.

“What other pictures can you get for me?” Candace asked. “You don’t have an online portfolio set up yet, do you?”

Another item on the to-do list. “I can do a sunset shot this evening. End of this week, for the pavilion and the gazebo. Maybe.”

“I’m going to quote them five grand—sound good?”

“Sounds good.” Even with her aunt’s commission, Kelly would have enough to reinvest in the business.

“Okay, I’ll see what I can do.”

After Kelly got off the phone with her aunt, she applied for a Home Depot credit card and got enough on it to buy the gazebo and a few other things. It wouldn’t be perfect, but it would do for now. There were even a few bucks left over so she could buy the white paint.

Janice was out getting quotes for the retreat building and talking with a construction crew. Once her loan came in, they could get started. Janice was going to give notice to her job in Kentucky and then they were going to hope for the best and hit the ground running.

Early this morning, Janice had headed back to Kentucky with the horse trailer to pick up Synergy and Black Dahlia and the rest of her menagerie. Her father hadn’t wanted her to go alone, so he’d had Nate go with her. Texas to Kentucky wasn’t a bad trip, but Kentucky back to Texas with six dogs and two horses would probably try Nate’s patience a bit. Sixteen hours there and sixteen hours back. Chances were, they’d miss the rodeo or at least be too tired to go.

While Nate was traveling with Janice, Kelly barely saw her father. He was gone before breakfast and she was usually out of the house by lunch. Dinner was a quiet affair. Her father was
