She was right, he should be pleased with her suggestions, Zayne thought. But he wasn’t. Besides the fact he was reeling from their betrayal, he had no intentions of spending so much time away from the saloon or his mother. Although the tomatoes could use his complete attention.

He knew their friends would serve them well, but no matter how much he worked on his dad’s tomatoes, those bastards would more than likely be screwed. And trusting Roxy to do right by him, after the secret she’d kept, wasn’t a chance Zayne was ready to take. Even if his mother had played a significant role in Roxy’s deceit. Zayne needed someone who’d level with him whether good or bad information was at stake.

Roxy chose not to operate that way. What if there were problems at the saloon Zayne should be resolving? Would she keep those from him too…to protect him? He didn’t need her looking after him. He could take care of himself.

“Roxy, I appreciate your offers, but I really think this is a family problem Mom and I need to figure out.”

Roxy looked at him as if he’d taken away her only friend. Her eyes welled with tears she’d be too proud to spill. Excluding her from his inner circle must have hit hard. But she’d done that to herself by leaving him out of the loop concerning his mother. Zayne pushed away the compassion nipping at his resolve to keep Roxy a safe distance from his heart.

“You are my family now, Zayne.” Roxy rose from her chair, stoically pushing it back against the wall opposite the bed. “Like it or not. I’m not going away when you need me.”

Zayne didn’t know what to say. He’d never seen Roxy so vulnerable yet determined. He may be angry with her but he couldn’t turn her away, not when she must need them as bad as they needed her. His gut tightened at the realization he didn’t want to lose what they’d started. Each thought of life without her squeezed his stomach with rushes of regret.

Maybe some quality time in the fields would be good for him. Lord knew the women in his life were driving him down the fast lane to insanity. At least tomatoes didn’t talk back.

“Well, I’m glad that’s settled. You two can work out the details with your friends tomorrow during brunch. Please let them know how grateful I am for their help,” his mother said then pushed the nurse’s call button. “It’s late. We’ve all had quite a night. I’ll have Rhonda see you out.”

“We probably should be going.” Zayne got up, leaned over and planted a kiss on his mom’s cheek.

“And don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, Mom,” he whispered into her ear. “But I’ll decide when and if I’m interested in someone.”

His mother chuckled softly. “Roxy, give me a hug. Then make sure my ass of a son sees you home.”

Zayne stepped away from the bed to make room for Roxy. No
