CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Everly

Stella propped her elbows on the desk in the check-in office. "So, let me see it."

Everly reached for her phone under the desk and pulled up the real estate page for the house. They'd been swamped with check-ins and guests hanging out in the gift shop before supper. Now, the office was empty.

"This is it." Everly turned her phone around to show the first photo of the house. It was a wide shot of the exterior and the manicured lawn on either side.

"Well, I'll be. That's gorgeous," Stella said, taking the phone from Everly to look closer.

"It's small, but I don't need much. I made an offer this morning."

Stella grabbed Everly's hand and squeezed. "I'm so happy for you."

"It's not mine yet, but I really hope I get it." She'd been bursting with the news all day, but Stella was the first she'd had the chance to tell.

Jess walked in with two to-go plates stacked in her hands. "I brought the good stuff."

Stella accepted both plates and handed one to Everly. "Thank you, dear. You just moved up a spot in my will."

Jess huffed and rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't know what to do with your sewing machine, so you can just scratch me off the list."

Stella often joked about her will, and though the comments were always in good fun, it never failed to make Everly's chest clench. Stella's husband died years ago, and they hadn't had any children. Though Stella probably did think of the ranch family as her own, Everly didn't want to think about losing Stella or any of the other older friends they worked with at the ranch.

Stella opened the box and inhaled a deep breath. "Yum! Pinto beans and cornbread!"

Everly opened her own box. "Thanks for dinner."

Jess sat in the comfortable chair in the small corner of the office. "No problem. It was getting a little loud in the dining hall."

Stella held up her plastic fork. "I saw that group of young girls that checked in earlier. I bet they're falling all over themselves to get to the cowboys."

Jess rolled her eyes and slumped lower in the seat. "They can have them."

"I don't blame them," Stella said as she dug into the mound of mashed potatoes on her plate.

"It's really stupid. They start twirling their hair and flapping their eyelids." Jess made a show of mocking the young girls. "Ridiculous."

Everly kept quiet as she ate. It had never bothered her before that the cowboys sometimes had admirers, but now she couldn't help but wonder if Blake had someone hanging on him the way Jess described.

Everly remembered the note Blake had left in her laptop this afternoon. She'd stepped out for lunch and missed him when he came by to see her. Later, she'd found the note.
