“How are you feeling?” I ask Knox for what must be the eighth time today, and it’s only noon. He was adamant that he could drive my truck and horse trailer, leaving Trace to drive Knox’s truck and fifth wheel camper.

“I’m fine. Proud of you, Blake.” His hand moves from the center console and grabs mine that’s on my thigh. Thankfully, he injured his left knee and not his right, or I’d be driving, and he’d be grumbling the entire time.

“Thank you.” I wasn’t expecting to place first in barrel racing this weekend, not after what happened to Knox, but I was able to clear my mind, and he was right there cheering me on the entire time. I rode two events, and placing first in both is unheard of, well, for me anyways. I know that was hard on him. Knox reluctantly used the golf cart Trace secured to get him from his trailer to the arena. There he used his crutches, and don’t think I didn’t see everyone coming up to him, asking him how he’s doing. The grimace I saw in his jawline told me everything I needed to know. It was hard as hell for him to be there instead of the bull riding arena.

“I’ve already talked to Daddy and told him I’d stay with you until we figured out what was going on with your doctor’s appointments, since, you know, both of our moms conveniently left town at the same time.” I guess Daddy wasn’t wrong. He must have seen the writing on the wall long before I did.

“How’d he take that news?” Knox asks, his eyes leaving the road to grin at me then returning to the road.

“Are you sure you really want to know? You might run for the hills,” I tease.

“Yeah, I really want to know. Especially if I need to get a running start.” Knox may actually need that.

“Well, you may or may not need that. He just asked that we don’t make him a Papa until there was a ring on my finger.” Knox doesn’t say anything for what feels like hours but really isn’t.

“It’s a good thing I have plans in the works, then.” My mouth is hanging wide open at his words.

“What plans are you talking about?” I reply as we turn into my parents’ driveway. The game plan is to drop off my trailer, unload Trigger, get him nice and cozy, stop by the house, pack some clothes, and then head to the McCray Ranch, where I’ll be staying until Knox is back on his feet.

“That’s for me to know and you to find out.” I guess we’re going back to grade school now.

“We’ll just see about that.” In the past twelve hours, there hasn’t been a moment when Knox hasn’t touched me, told me something sweet to soften my heart with how he treated me earlier, and don’t even get me started on the kisses that have me losing my senses.

“Oh, we will.” This is a
