The next morning I was up early and headed straight to the stables to do the morning routine wearing the same clothes from the night before. I did wash my face and brush my teeth at least ,considering I’d have to speak to my guys. Once I was done, I headed back to the house to shower and dress, checking in on Shore after I was done. She was still out, which concerned me so I crept into her room and carefully peeked under the bedding she was burrowed beneath to make sure she was okay.

Her soft breathing, echoing in a light snores, allowed me to relax. I tucked her back in and hurried out the room, needing to leave behind the apples and spice that was now lodged in my lungs from lingering in her presence.

While I worked on a fresh pot of coffee and preparing breakfast, I called Beau to let him know I needed one of his trees. The massive balsams were a big hit with the locals and hopefully going to do the trick for Shore as well. After a few rings he was on the line but talking to someone in the background so I held patiently until he was ready.

“Go on ahead, give me a minute to take this and I’ll meet you in my office.”

“Hey Wilde, what’s going on?”

“You sound busy, so I won’t hold you. I need to head out to your place today to get a tree.”

“Who’s it for?”

“Me.”

“You?” He sounded amused. “Or do you mean your place but for the woman occupying it with you this week?”

“Does it matter?” I grunted and he laughed.

“Not to me but sounds like it matters enough to you.”

I chuckled. “Can I get the tree or not? You worrying about what I have going on isn’t why I called.”

Beau and I were close friends so he would eventually know about what I had going on but at the moment I didn’t have a damn clue so I couldn’t give him any details about me and Shore.

“Come get what you need but I won’t be around. Got my hands full with this leadership conference.”

“Yeah I bet you do. Don’t forget Ms. Mel doesn’t just run her mouth about my business. She shares everyone else’s too, including yours.”

When Melvina called and demanded I get Shore a tree, she mentioned she was going to reach out to Beau to make sure it was okay. That only meant she was calling him to make sure I got the damn tree. Micromanaging.

She then mentioned he had his eyes on one of the guests who was staying at his ranch and went into some spiel about how there was love on the horizon in Miller’s Pointe and maybe she could get some bonus great-nieces and nephews out of me and Beau. I quickly shut her down and moved on to my plans for getting the tree.

“I can only imagine.,” he said and I felt his pain. “Come get what you need and if you stick to minding your business, I’ll stick to minding mine.
