Chapter 3

Kieran

Seven am isn’t too early for a business meeting.

With a stranger.

Who doesn’t know I’m coming.

I park and get out of my truck. This is the first time I think it has seen a dirt road. I’ll have to hit a car wash on the way back into town. Who the hell would want to live out in the middle of nowhere like this?

From somewhere past the house, I hear water. It’s no surprise, I know a river runs along the backside of the barn that stands against the backdrop of the mountain.

I’ve already had ideas to make this place worth so much more. Condos. River view condos on one side. The other could be marketed as ‘nestled in nature.’ I could zone and build forty condos here, if I wanted to waste space and spread them out.

If I wanted to zone as a subdivision, I could fit nearly a hundred of the damn things. I could even leave in some trees to please the housewives wanting to believe they’re closer to nature right around the corner from their Whole Foods.

All the while, I’d sit back and collect rent.

This place would make my fortune grow substantially, and I’m never one to pass up on an opportunity like that.

Straightening the lapel of my suit – might as well make a good first impression – I walk up the front porch and take a deep breath. All the fury I’d felt from last night hasn’t dissipated. If anything, the aggravation feels like it’s grown. The pit of ire has matured into a great ball of darkness that taints every interaction I have.

Even Olivia seemed shocked by my short temper.

And she’d avoided me, even after I apologized to her and told her that I wasn’t upset with her, I was mad at someone who was being mean and not playing by the rules.

So I’d gotten the hell out of the house early. No need to create more issues. Olivia’s got enough stress on her plate, I don’t want to be the cause of more. Sandy had made sure I’d gotten an earful last night when I got home. Apparently, Olivia has been starting fights at school, but not between her and another party, no, she’s more clever than that.

She does something, and then tells the person that someone else made her do it and watches all hell break loose.

I’d be proud of her cunning if I wasn’t so upset that her therapist told me we were past this kind of behavior.

Before me, the ranch door opens and I’m met by curious green eyes that are strikingly cat-like.

“Can I help you?” The woman steps out on the porch and I can only take in every detail of her. The socks on her feet don’t match – one’s purple with little green watermelons all over it, and the other is yellow with orange suns. Her light colored jeans hug her slim, well-shaped legs. There’s a curve in her thighs that looks like she’s spent more than her fair share of time straddling a horse.
