Several days passed before Whitney stopped thinking about the mysterious burned spot. She finally decided the fire was purely an accident and wouldn’t happen again. As Nate suggested, the trespassers were probably kids who wouldn’t think twice about building a campfire regardless of dry grass and burn bans. Then when the fire had gotten out of hand, they’d gotten scared and bolted. End of story. So she put the incident out of her mind and pressed on with learning everything she could from the Triple C cowboy.

The one thing that didn’t fade from memory was the midnight ride when Nate had kissed her, the moment when some dead part of her had awakened. If she hadn’t dumped her life story on him, maybe he wouldn’t have backed away, but she understood why he wanted to be her friendly neighbor and not her man. At least, she was trying to. As much as she wanted to change her past mistakes, she couldn’t.

He was right to keep her at arm’s length, and even though she liked him a lot more than she should, friendship was the best choice for both of them. Relationships could be tricky, and she needed his ranching expertise more than she needed romance. God had sent him along to help her, not to be her latest flame, and that was that.

But as weeks passed, Nate spent more and more time at her place, and their friendship grew. And grew. No man had ever listened to her the way Nate did. They could talk for hours and often did. She loved having him in her kitchen scarfing down tiny chicken eggs and gallons of coffee. He seemed to fit there, as if he was the missing ingredient in her life. She loved the easy way he discussed his faith, the sound of his laughter, the way he interacted with the twins.

And every night when she fell into bed exhausted, she prayed a special prayer for this man whose friendship she’d come to treasure.

The day he’d brought the twins a double stroller, she’d almost cried, right before refusing to accept it. He’d gotten adorably huffy and said he’d bought the stroller for the twins, and if they didn’t like it, he’d take it back. She had no say in the matter.

Because she thought his excuse was cute and clever, she’d given in and thanked him, touched by his generosity. The girls, naturally, thought riding around as a big old cowboy pushed them all over the yard and down the rutted driveway while making truck noises was the coolest thing ever.

So did she. And if she fantasized about someday finding a good dad for Olivia and Sophia, a dad a lot like Nate Caldwell, she kept those thoughts to herself.

On this particular fall morning, when the weather had cooled to crisp, she wrestled a fifty-pound sack of chicken feed out of the back of her car and dragged it, muscles straining, to the self-feeder Nate had showed her how to fill.
