CHAPTER TEN

Weston strolled across the dirt yard, the light in the windows of his house beckoning him. Since Sammie had told him about the baby, and Logan, two days ago he’d been on edge. His brothers had complained more than once that he’d been biting their heads off. He agreed. He’d been as irritated as a horse with a wasp on his ass.

He couldn’t believe he’d been so stupid as not to see there was more to the story nine years ago than Sammie simply leaving. Why had he been so stupid? Why had he overlooked the obvious? His heart ripped in two, images of her in the barn with a drunken Logan like acid to his system. Sammie was right, Weston would have wrung Logan’s neck. Hell, Lucas would have shot him. Logan had known the risk of staying in town and that was why he’d eventually taken off with a vague excuse that he’d landed a job on an oil rig. Sure, the bastard had landed a job all right, but that wasn’t the real reason he’d left the town where he’d grown up.

Weston’s hands were tied. Nothing worse than not having the control to fix something that needed fixed. But Sammie didn’t want him to fix things. She wanted things to be normal, whatever normal was these days.

He wanted to be angry with her for not telling him about the baby, even after the miscarriage. He would have been there for her, but she hadn’t wanted him around. How could he begin to understand what she must have been feeling? He had no clue.

The only thing he knew to do now was make things up to her. Help her in whatever she decided to do with Tanner Ranch.

Climbing the steps to the back porch, he strolled through the screen door and stopped. Brie was laughing from the living room. He hadn’t heard such a sweet sound in so long. Stepping over to the doorway, he peered in, finding Sammie and his daughter sitting on the floor playing a board game. Neither of them knew he was watching.

Sammie’s deep pink T-shirt fit nicely against her chest and the black running shorts had scooted high on her slender hips. Tendrils of dark hair had loosened from the long braid pulled over her shoulder. My God, how was it that she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid his eyes upon? Watching the scene before him, he wondered what things would have been like if she hadn’t lost the baby. What if Logan hadn’t ruined things and she’d stuck around? Would they be married now with a daughter much like Brie and living happily as husband and wife? He’d always believed that fate played a person’s hand as was fit, but what he wouldn’t give to play that hand over again.

But then there wouldn’t be Brie and that tugged at his heart.

“Daddy!” His girl jumped up from the floor and raced across the room, flailing into his arms. “You’re home!”

He picked her up and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
