Mason stood in his darkened great room watching raindrops drizzle down the windows.

In Utah, as opposed to the tropical humidity of the Philippines, a good soaker of a summer rain was a rare and precious thing. He knew this was priceless to the ranchers and farmers around here; it was one less time they would have to irrigate thirsty crops, but he still couldn’t help resenting it.

The storm left him restless, unable to settle. It was nearly 1:00 a.m. Though he was tired from a long day of physical exertion and fully expected another one the next day, he knew himself well enough to realize that trying to sleep would be an exercise in futility.

He had tried to read for a while but the book hadn’t held his attention. From there, he’d started to wander around the house like some kind of wild animal searching for something he couldn’t find.

As soon as he realized it, he had forced himself to stop and was now using all his willpower to stay in one place and stare out at the confounded rain.

Who was he trying to fool? He sighed. It wasn’t the rain leaving him so itchy and uncomfortable.

If he should find anything unsettling, it ought to be that realization. How lowering to discover he wanted to throw a dozen years in counterintelligence out the window and believe the word of a woman who appeared to have dropped out of the sky.

He was thinking with his gonads, not his head. He knew it but he was struck by the memory of her riding the little mare he’d bought for the children, of her stunned delight as she had trotted around the corral that afternoon.

Her eyes had glowed and she hadn’t stopped smiling, like a child discovering an old toy, long-forgotten but still very beloved.

As he had helped her from the horse, he hadn’t been able to keep his hands off her. If the kids hadn’t been there with them, he would have dragged her against the wood corral railing and kissed her until neither of them could move.
