Chapter Fifteen

Erin was more than happy when she noticed the guests begin to thin. It was time for this night to be over.

Keeping the event running smoothly was job enough, especially after Brady had magnanimously invited all the workers who’d saved the wedding by clearing the storm damage. But to have to manage it under Tanner’s close scrutiny made the night even more difficult.

Not to mention the twinge of pain she felt in the vicinity of her heart every time she caught him watching her.

She had been a fool to even think twice about him. He was a player, juggling as many women as his week would allow, apparently. And he did it while wearing the same outfit on all his dates, according to Randy.

If she found out he’d used her pocket square on his other date, she might blow her top. Erin’s jaw clenched at that thought as her gaze swept the converted barn and searched for the tall, dark, womanizing cowboy.

When she didn’t see him, she was hit with a strange sensation. Disappointment. Bad taste in men was par for the course for her, sadly. She always had gravitated toward the wrong sort. Tanner was just one more in that line of bad choices.

“Erin.”

She turned at the sound of her name and saw Brady striding toward her. She forced a smile. “Here’s the groom-to-be. I think everyone really enjoyed the dinner, don’t you?”

“I know they did. You got a lot of compliments.”

“Me? All I did was oversee.” Erin laughed. “Meg and the caterers deserve the compliments. It’s a beautiful venue and the food was excellent.”

“Yes, but you tied it all together. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.” Brady glanced around the room. “Hey, this thing is wrapping up. Why don’t you head out?”

It was a tempting offer. She was exhausted, and tomorrow was going to be a big day. But she’d wanted to start some of the setup for the reception before she called it quits for the night. “I don’t know.”

“Meg’s crew can handle things. I promise. She’s set you up in one of the guest rooms, right?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Then you can get back at it bright and early if you really want to.” When she hesitated, Brady took her by both shoulders and turned her toward the main building. “Go get some rest. These guys could be here drinking half the night. There’s no use in your waiting up for them to leave.”

Erin glanced over her shoulder. “Okay, but you should get some rest yourself, you know.”

“Oh, I plan to. Believe me. I’m right behind you. Don’t want to be hung over for my big day.”

For lack of energy to argue, Erin nodded. “Okay. ’Night, Brady.”

“’Night. And great job.”

“Thanks.” Relieved to have the decision taken out of her hands, Erin headed for the house.

Meg had given her a small but charming room. After the day she’d had, that four-poster bed would feel like heaven.

Considering how many guests were staying at the ranch, Erin had been surprised when Meg had offered her accommodations at all.
