Am I boring?

You can be. Why what’s up?

Nothing.

You broke up with Ry?

Avery grinned at the screen. Ry who?

Give it up GF, you’re def getting some.Want me to come over before work?

Can you?

Sure. C u later x.

Avery put her cell down and focused on the spreadsheet for the golden wedding anniversary party the hotel was hosting that evening. So far everything looked good. Marley was working her ass off to make sure it all came together. She was way better at the job than Avery. Why couldn’t her parents see that? She’d wait until after the event to talk to Marley. There was no way she wanted to upset her sister right now.

Her thoughts turned to Ry, and how he looked sleeping naked in his bed, all sprawled out and golden and . . .

Yeah . . .

She shut down her laptop. That was just the kind of image that would help her make it through another day. She still couldn’t quite believe how well they were getting along, both in bed and out of it. There was still a strain of tension running through him because of the business about his mom and sister, which she couldn’t seem to help him resolve. He had nightmares he refused to talk about, and was ignoring HW, who kept calling him.

That was the part she didn’t understand. Ry had always been there for his twin, so why was he so determined to shut him out now? Having seen HW, Avery was fairly convinced he was struggling to deal with their fractured relationship as much as Ry was. And for once, Ry didn’t seem inclined to play the peacemaker. Avery paused to close the door behind her. In fact, he seemed determined to keep his twin at arm’s length.

She walked down toward the lobby, but heard yelling in Spanish and turned toward the kitchen. It seemed their temperamental chef might need to have his feelings validated . . .

Ry put away his saddle and bridle, and turned Dolittle out into the field with Nolly, who danced around his barn buddy like a young foal. He moved out of the way so that BB could let Messi through the gate, and grinned when Nolly received a sharp nip on his ear when he barged into the other horse.

BB closed the gate and stood next to Ry, watching the horses fool around.

“Nolly’s an idiot. I don’t know why Chase is so fond of him.”

“Maybe because Chase is an idiot, too?”

“True.” BB’s smile dimmed. “He just sent me a text, that’s why I was delayed. He wants us to meet him at the landing strip in half an hour for a flight to Humboldt.”

“Seriously?” Ry said as the bottom dropped out of his stomach.

“Yeah.” BB’s bright blue gaze searched his. “You okay?”

“I’m good.”

“You don’t have to come.”

Ry turned and started walking back up to the house. BB caught up with him in about five seconds.

“It’s okay, Ry. HW said—”

“What the hell does HW have to do with anything?”

His brother held up his hands.
