Chapter Seventeen

Travis changed his shirt and went downstairs so he wouldn’t try on a different one. It was a blasted bell choir concert, not a Presidential dinner. Millie had seen him covered in dirt, wearing his regular old ranch clothes. The shirt didn’t matter.

“You changed again?” Russ asked from his position at the bar.

“Look,” Travis growled, because he was already late to pick up Millie. “I didn’t press you even once about Janelle. Don’t ask me about the shirt.”

Russ held up his hands in surrender. “All right. Sorry. It’s just that you’ve changed three times now, and you should just be glad Rex and Griffin didn’t come out this afternoon. That’s all.”

“You should be too,” he said. “Rex texted me for a solid forty-five minutes last night about walking in on you and Janelle.”

“He’s got to get himself a girlfriend,” Russ said darkly. “Maybe then he’d leave the rest of us alone.”

“Heaven help that woman,” Travis said, and the two of them laughed. “Sorry to leave you here alone this afternoon.” A slip of sadness did move through Travis that they weren’t doing their weekly brother get-together.

“I’m not going to be here,” Russ said. “Janelle’s making peanut butter bars today.”

“Oh, wow. See if you can bring some home.”

“I’ll be able to,” he said. “Apparently, every December, she and her girls make a treat at least three times a week. They take them to neighbors, to the firm, and now, out here to us.” He grinned like he’d just solved the world’s problems. “So I’ll bring you one.”

“Nice.” Travis swiped his keys from the pegboard by the door. “I’ll see you later then.”

“Yep, later.”

Travis hurried out to his truck, and he may have driven ten over the speed limit to get to Millie’s by six. The bell choir concert didn’t start until seven, but he knew he’d have to go inside and make small talk with her Momma.

Millie had also texted him a lot last night, and Travis wished he’d asked her out instead of letting her go home after a full day’s work on the ranch. He’d learned quickly that she didn’t like spending weekend nights with her mom when she had a “hot cowboy boyfriend.”

Travis didn’t know what was so hot about him, but he knew he’d been exhausted last night. He hadn’t even thought to ask Millie to dinner. He’d paid her, and she’d left. Of course, he’d only been able to take a shower and lay down for fifteen minutes before the texting started.

Rex had been highly amused by Russ’s renewed relationship with Janelle, and he’d seen them kissing yesterday. Travis didn’t care. If Russ wanted to be with Janelle, he could be—and should be. He was glad his brother had worked out whatever had gotten kinked in their relationship, because it was obvious that Russ liked Janelle.

He rang the doorbell at Millie’s and heard the cat inside yowling. For some reason, that made him smile, and so it was that he grinned at her momma when she opened the door.
