Chapter 16 – Stevie

One month later...

“How’s my favorite sister-in-law two times over doing?” Nash asked as he threw a muscled arm around my shoulders and pulled me in for a hug.

“Only one time until you and Jovie tie the knot in less than two months.”

He laughed gently, “How are you holding up?”

"I'm doing well. Staying busy with finalizing plans for the co-op's grand opening. Today, I’m heading out to meet with a few more ranches to secure agreements for yearly produce supply. If all goes well, we might be able to open sooner than the October date Jovie committed to."

He nodded. “I know Jovie appreciates this a lot. She’s got so much her plate with the new job and pregnancy; I'm glad she realized she couldn't take on the co-op without you. And I’m glad we got you down here.”

“She’s managing it very well," I said smiling.

Nash nodded gently again, and I could see the love and concern he had in his eyes for my sister. If there was any doubt in my mind about Jovie moving hours away from Houston on to a ranch in the middle of nowhere, getting to know Nash better this past month while living at Ashwood ranch eliminated those concerns. He’d been attentive, gentle, protective and his love for her was always evident.

“How’s my big brother treating you?” He reached down and grasped the middle of one of the new, heavy, all oak tables that had been delivered to the co-op today and helped me move it in place in the middle of the packing room.

“I haven’t seen him since the wedding.”

He quirked a brow, “you haven’t seen him in three weeks?”

I shrugged, “I figured he got what he wanted so he was giving me my space. There isn't really any need for us to interact anymore outside of preparing for your wedding.”

Nash hummed like he wanted to say something more but instead turned and grabbed the second, large table and lifted it again while I pointed to where I wanted it positioned.

“What else you got heavy for me to lift?” he asked.

I brushed my hands down my jeans and glanced around the space. "Most of the heavy lifting is done. The place is really coming together. Clay said he’d come over tomorrow to help hang the artwork that’s getting delivered tonight. The appliances are installed, so now the main focus is spreading the word in the community to get signups and securing our donors."

He nodded again. “You have any plans for tomorrow night?”

“Nothing after Clay and I hang the artwork. Figured I’d maybe watch a movie and stay in. I heard there’s going to be another storm. Hopefully, just rain this time.”

He smiled warmly, “It’s Friday night, Stevie, and you’ve been living here for a whole month now, yet we haven’t taken you out. I know Jovie’s itching to see people now that she’s almost out of the first trimester and feeling better. Let’s go out to Rex's Rodeo House bar and give you a proper welcome.
