Chapter Eight

Moments later, she and Cam were traveling down the road. Cam wanted so much to make her feel better, he smiled at her, trying to encourage her.

“Can I get you a drink or anything before we get out of town?”

She had her hands cupped in her lap and she sat very stiff. If she stayed like that the whole trip, she was going to be in a knot of mangled tension by the time they got where they were going and would need a massage.

“I’m fine, really. I’m sure I’ll need to stop at some point, just not now.”

He smiled this time. “Sounds like a plan.”

“So your ranch in Texas, tell me about it,” she said after a few moments.

They were on the bridge heading out of Windswept Bay and going toward the mainland. They were surrounded by the sparkly blue water as the sun began to set dappling golden flecks onto the water.

“You love it there, don’t you?” she continued.

“I do. It’s beautiful in a different way than here. You know what I mean, being Texan yourself. I’ve got good neighbors and Sweet River, the town I live in, is not too big and the people are really nice—it’s perfect. Grant—Cali’s husband—he has a ranch next door. It’ll be a great place for me to raise kids one day.”

“Sounds like the town of Ransom Springs, Texas, where I’m from. There must have been a thing for water back when they named them.” She smiled. “Ransom Springs is a nice size. I love my hometown, actually.” She laughed softly and it was good to hear it. “But I came to Windswept Bay to get away. As I told you that day I came to the stable and practically told you my life story.” She still couldn’t believe she’d told him about Dave right after meeting him.

“So do you think you’ll go back home?”

“Yesterday, I would have said no. Today, I’m not sure. I was trying to stand on my own, away from my overprotective dad and my brothers as much as to get away from the breakup fiasco. I grew tired of them trying to tell me how to live my life. They did it out of love but it just kind of drove me crazy. But now my dad…”Her words faded out and she looked out the window.

He heard the tears in her voice and glimpsed them in her eyes before she turned away. He didn’t like to see her hurting. There was something deep going on here, he sensed it.

In the short time he had known her, Cam got the feeling Lana was one to cry easily and she didn’t like anyone knowing she did. There was a softness to Lana that she tried to hide.

“You have to spread your wings at some point.” He hoped it helped her feel better. Right now, with her dad so sick, he was unsure how to help her. “You have to find your own way and sometimes that means getting away.
