BACK AT THE ranch Dove had ham and cheese sandwiches and freshly baked cinnamon rolls waiting for us. She looked from my face to Isaac’s, appraising us like a couple of yearlings she was about to buy. “So, you two get your fence lines all sorted out?”

Isaac smiled at me. I gave him a small smile back.

“Yes, ma‘am,” he said. “I believe we have.”

She nodded her head in approval and pointed to the breakfast counter. “Then y‘all better get some food in you. Hot coffee, too. It’s a cold day.”

I went over to her and slipped my arms around her neck, burying my face in her sweet, almond-scented skin. “I’m sorry, Gramma, for being such a brat. Will you forgive me?”

She lightly slapped my shoulder. “Get along and eat, honeybun. You’re so mean flies wouldn’t light on you, but I reckon I’ll keep you since I’m so used to you.”

I turned to Isaac, who was already at the counter putting mustard on his sandwich. “That’s about as close as she gets to saying ‘I love you.’ ”

“But she does make a mean ham sandwich,” he said, grinning.
