AN HOUR LATER they’d left the dogs to watch the place, belted Elizabeth’s seat into the back of Sebastian’s Bronco, and set off for Matty’s. By the time they pulled up in front of the barn at the Leaning L, Elizabeth had dozed off. They had a low-pitched but heated discussion about who would stay with the baby and who would feed Matty’s horses. Matty won.

She wasn’t a traditional female, Sebastian thought as he watched her hurry into the barn. She’d never be content to tend to household duties and let the men handle the ranch work. Barbara hadn’t been traditional, either, but in a different way. She hadn’t been interested in housekeeping, but unfortunately she hadn’t liked ranch work any better. Once she’d discovered how much physical exertion was involved, she’d started yearning for a desk job.

Now she had one, although she was seldom behind her desk. As a travel agent she had an excuse to go all over the place. He often wondered if the postcards she sent were her way of thumbing her nose at his willingness to be tied down to a piece of land and a bunch of critters.

Matty understood that in him. In fact, there wasn’t much about him that Matty didn’t understand. She even knew exactly how he liked his eggs. She must have been paying pretty close attention over the years to pick up on that. Of course Matty had always been sensitive to people’s likes and dislikes, but Sebastian wondered if there was more to it. He liked the idea that there was more to it.

And that made him a heel, because if Matty had a crush on him he couldn’t do a damn thing about it right now. And he needed to discuss that with her, somehow. She’d kissed him, and he’d kissed her back. They couldn’t pretend that nothing had changed. But it couldn’t keep changing in that direction.

As he sat waiting for Matty, he glanced around, taking inventory of the Leaning L in a way he seldom had the leisure to do. The barn was in pretty good repair, which didn’t surprise him considering Matty’s priorities. She’d want her animals housed in more splendor than herself, if it came to a choice. Obviously she didn’t have time to maintain both buildings in top condition.

Travis did all he could for her in the summer months, but Travis had his own place in Utah and he left every fall once the summer cattle were rounded up and shipped to market. Even from this distance Sebastian could tell the ranch house needed a coat of paint.

He’d never cared much for the style of the frame-and-stucco house, which looked like it belonged in California, in Sebastian’s estimation, with its white exterior and red-tiled roof. Butch had loved the look, loved the idea of standing out against the mountains, meadows and forest.

The passenger door opened and Matty slipped inside, closing the door gently. She plopped a small satchel on the floor. “I’ve been thinking of painting the house beige,” she said, as if reading his mind.
