“How was the bed?” Rudy watched with a keen eye from behind the registration counter as Sam poured himself a cup of the hotel’s complimentary java.

“It was okay, thanks.” What wasn’t okay was this weak-ass coffee. Maybe he should go back to The Miramar Café for breakfast. If their pancakes were half as good as their meat loaf, it was worth making a trip there before heading over to see Annie this morning.

Annie. He’d gone to bed last night thinking about her.

You should do it. You should quit your job and run the ranch full time.

Sure. Easy for her to say. Cyrus Byrd would roll over in his grave if he knew his grandson wanted to walk away from the company he’d worked so hard to build.

He thought about all the other things they’d talked about too. Shouldn’t she have mentioned the letter? It was like she’d never sent it. Could he have the wrong Annie? No. There could only be one Annie Esposito in this town. Plus, it had her voice all over it. Maybe she was embarrassed about the things she’d written. That must be it.

He needed to clear things up between them. He would head over to the car dealership this morning and tell her the whole truth behind his coming to Old Explorer’s Bay. Then his conscience would stop niggling at him, and in a few weeks when the show was over, he could get back to his regularly scheduled life.

“Going fishing this morning?” asked Rudy, cutting into his thoughts.

“Maybe,” Sam said noncommittally. “Probably not today.”

“Yep. It’s too late to book a boat for today. You could book for tomorrow though.”

Sam’s cell phone went off, saving him from having to make more small talk with the clerk. It was Becks. Perfect timing. He stepped outside to the parking lot and took the call. “When does the orientation start?”

“Fifteen minutes. Did you meet Annie?”

“As a matter of fact, I did. And Walter too.”

“Oh. So I guess you couldn’t talk to her alone then, huh?” He didn’t bother to correct her. “What did you think? Did you feel the zing?”

“You’ve been watching too much reality TV.”

“Hey, zing is your word, not mine.”

“Don’t remind me. That’s what got me into this mess.”

“Someone’s grumpy this morning.”

Grumpy? He wasn’t grumpy. What he was, was caffeine deprived. And yeah, okay, maybe last night’s conversation had unsettled him. He’d thought about quitting the business to run the ranch a million times. But he’d never said it out loud. That was one idea that didn’t mesh with reality. He had responsibilities, and he couldn’t just walk away from them.

“Is she pretty?” Becks asked.

“Is who pretty?” Sam asked, being deliberately obtuse.

Becks growled impatiently. “Annie, of course.”

“Not really.” He’d met a lot of pretty in his life. A lot of beautiful too. He’d even met an occasional gorgeous. None of those adjectives fit her. Pretty sounded juvenile, and her features were too irregular to call her beautiful. She was appealing, though. No doubt about that. With
