He got his face covered up before Kellen arrived on the scene and didn't have to deal with any questions from my big brother. So, he dodged that bullet for the time being. But I didn't get used to the new Courage. Not right away. And I couldn't help but waste my time wondering useless stuff like if he might be moving on now that he'd healed. Now that he looked like some kind of boyish god. And if he'd start looking for someone else—someone prettier. That's what any sane, good-looking guy would do, right? He'd keep his eyes open for a hot girl and take off with her the first chance he got.

Of course, he wasn't going to get many opportunities to do anything like that when he was stuck out on a ranch in a location popularly known as the middle of nowhere. And he was still there on Monday morning. And there was still work to do.

I trimmed his hair before we headed out to the fields. My mom cuts my dad's hair pretty regularly and I found the electric clippers in the bathroom drawer.

"Your hair's so thick," I told him as I went to town with the clippers.

"I've noticed that some guys wear their hair short while others wear it long," he said. "Which way do you prefer it?"

"Are you asking me how I like a boy to wear his hair?"

"Aye."

I didn't answer right away. When it came to Courage, I was pretty sure either long or short would do it for me. He'd look good if he shaved his skull. He'd look good with his hair down around his knees. In a braid. In a man-bun. But I didn't want him to get a big head about it. "I like it in between," I told him. "Not too long and not too short."

"Is that the sort of haircut you're giving me?" he asked.

"Let's get it all the same length," I suggested. "Then we'll see about growing it out a bit."

"Alright," he answered with a smile.

We went back to work in the northwest quadrant. And on Tuesday at midday, we were ready to start stringing wire again so we left the fields and headed back to the house to see if Kellen was down for making a run to the supply store.

We found him in the kitchen, finishing a late breakfast of store-bought cinnamon rolls. The kind that come in a deep pan, covered with about an inch of icing. I don't know how he eats that stuff; it's so sweet. Anyhow, it was the first time he'd seen Courage's face since it had healed. So, it wasn't too surprising when he did a double take as we walked through the kitchen door.

Kellen squinted up at Courage and studied his face for a while. Finally, he said, "Did you…cut your hair or something?"

"Aye," Courage answered, hiding a smile. "At least, Lorissa cut it for me."

Kellen snapped his fingers like he'd just had a genius moment. "I knew there was something different about you.
