Kelly still couldn’t get over the change in Angie’s attitude. Before Tate, it didn’t matter what kind of punishment or discipline Angie got, if someone tried to stop her from doing something she wanted to do or even something harmful…like now… she would have pitched a hissy fit. Not this time. Angie clung to Tate and his every word as he explained the proper way to be around a horse. When he finished, he peered over Angie’s head at her. “Well, are you two ready to go tree hunting in style?” He yanked his thumb toward the sleigh.

Angie and Kelly looked at each other, then back at Tate. “We’re going in that?”

“You sure are.” The answer came from Dave who had on a black cowboy hat, a black cowboy scarf around his neck, black insulated coverall type pants, and a black coat that reminded her of the one the guy in the movie The Man From Snowy River had worn.

“Dave, these are my friends, Kelly and Angie. Ladies, this is my cousin, Dave.”

“Nice to meet you, Dave.” Kelly stepped forward and shook his hand, a hand covered with lined leather gloves. Just like in the movies.

Angie stepped forward and extended her hand. “I’m Angie.” She yanked her head once toward Kelly. “She’s Kelly. Er. Um. I mean. Mom.”

Dave grinned. “I’m so glad you clarified that for me, Angie. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Angie stepped back beside Tate and smiled up at him. Obviously Angie sought Tate’s approval and she adored him.

In all truthfulness, Kelly adored him too. Always had. In fact, she had a huge crush on him back in high school but he never showed her any encouragement that he thought of her as anything more than a friend. So, when Brad asked her out, she went, in hopes it would make Tate jealous. It didn’t. And over time, she had fallen in love with Brad. It wasn’t hard to do. Brad had been gentle and caring and had such a way with people. Her husband treated her like a queen, made her feel special, loved, cared for. The man constantly put the needs of others before his own and always helped others. Like Tate. Those two were so much alike. No wonder they had been friends. She loved them both. That’s probably why it meant so much to her to be able to spend time with Tate again. Besides, he was good for Angie. And, Kelly had to admit, he was good for her also.

“You ready to go?” Dave asked.

“Sure am!” Angie blurted out in overflowing excitement.

Everyone laughed.

Angie took Tate’s hand and walked slowly up to the horses. She talked to them as she did, just like Tate had shown her. When they reached the sleigh, Tate helped her into the sleigh first, then turned to help Kelly. When her hand settled in his, their eyes met. The softness in those brown orbs, along with the kindness in his gentle, boyish smile, had her heart doing a triple somersault.
