Chapter Six

It hadn't taken but a minute for Cody to decide he was being an idiot and to turn around.

He wouldn't let stubbornness get to him this time, not after coming this far.

"Halt, Otis," he said, stopping on the gravel path. He listened for footsteps, for that adorable little growl Lyssa made whenever he did something that ticked her off.

But there was nothing. No one was following him. There were no footsteps on the ground chasing him to make sure he didn't collide with something dangerous he couldn't see.

"Let's go back, Otis." The dog didn't move. "About, Otis."

Otis turned them both around and they proceeded back to the arena. When he walked into the building, he heard Beau and Lyssa talking. Their voices were low, as if they meant to keep their conversation from him, which annoyed him to no end. But he knew that had to be the case.

"What time?" he ground out.

He could hear the surprise in Lyssa's voice. "You came back?"

"Obviously," Cody said, his irritation flaring.

So be it. He wasn't going to pretend he liked their quiet whispers. He was blind, but his hearing was just fine. More than fine, in fact. He could ignore their whispers of worry or he could stand like a man and let them know he was done with it.

It felt real good to stand.

"What time?" he ground out again.

"We need to leave at dawn if we're going to make it to Fort Worth with time to spare."

Cody nodded. It didn't really matter what time or when they were leaving. Or even how long they were staying. It wasn't as if there was a list of chores he had to do before leaving.

Those had been divided up and given to hands. Beau had been given his most prided chore.

Although, working with his horses had never been a chore to Cody.

He began to walk away and then turned back. "You will be coming with us, Lyssa, won't you?"

"Of course," she said.

"Good."

"We can take my truck," Beau said.

Cody clamped down the sudden irritation running under the surface of his skin, deciding it was irrational. Riding together with Beau would give Cody a chance to get up to speed on what had been happening since he'd been away from the sport.

"That sounds like a good plan."

He headed back to the house with Otis by his left side, still annoyed that his big brother just killed any chance of him getting Lyssa alone this weekend.

Damn big brothers.
