Lane

Lane never slept that night, and as soon as the sun started to rise he called his pilot to confirm that the plane was in working order. Upon confirmation, he called down to the front desk of the hotel and ordered a car service. Within about an hour he was out on the tarmac, the wind blowing through his hair as he walked up the steps into his private jet.

After liftoff, he settled into a comfortable sleep and in a few hours he arrived back in Houston, feeling a little bit more rested and certainly glad to be close to home.

As his driver took him from the airport out to the rolling pastures of the ranch, Lane wondered when he’d have a chance to see Callie alone again. He thought of knocking on her cottage door in broad daylight, but realized by this hour she’d already be out training, working with his horses.

Without many other options he figured he’d head up to his office and relax a bit, maybe read a good book or something to pass the time until nightfall. He liked to do that sometimes, especially after a big deal like the one he’d just completed. It was something to take his mind off business, to expand his horizons. There was more to life than oil and money, and despite the magnificent luxury that surrounded him, sometimes he craved a simple escape.

But after an hour or so of reading in his office he started to get drowsy. The truth was he was still tired from his sleepless night. An afternoon nap didn’t sound half bad. And so he dozed off in those quiet afternoon hours.

He woke a few hours later with an open book laying pages down on his chest, cradled there when he’d first fallen asleep. He checked his watch; it was almost six o’clock and he was absolutely starving.

He headed down to his big kitchen where he rummaged through the cabinets full of food. His head chef, Henry, was there and offered to make him something, but Lane decided he couldn’t wait.

“No, Henry it’s fine. I just want a cold beer and some pretzels.”

A beer in hand and a bowl of pretzels in the other, he walked out to one of his living rooms, turning on the big screen television to see if he might find some kind of game on to distract him. But what he really wanted was Callie. Why couldn’t he just admit it? Why couldn’t he pursue her publicly? It was his ranch, after all. Why all this sneaking around, waiting and wondering when he’d see her again?

Dammit, he was tired of waiting around. He went back into the kitchen after he’d finished his beer and put down the empty bowl that had held the pretzels. Then he left down through the back exit and out onto his large property.

The air was starting to get cooler as he walked around, hoping he’d run into Callie sooner rather than later.
