CHAPTER TEN
Mackenzie stowed the rafting supplies in the storage area at the back of the barn. Sheâd just returned from taking a group, and it had been glorious to get out of the office and outside. But while her favorite activity usually energized her, today she was dog-tired.
In the last two weeks she hadnât been off duty for more than an hour or two at a time. Even her Saturdays had been filled with Wilder Ranch workâissues, planning, the big Fourth of July celebration last week that was always a hit.
The only escape she had managed was for church on Sundays. At least sheâd had that. And sheâd needed it. Sheâd needed that break, that minute to remember that taking care of everything at the ranch wasnât all on her shoulders.
Because it had begun to feel that way.
Why, she wasnât quite sure. Emma was doing her job and more, even with her wedding being only ten days away. And Jace had been a huge help, too. But somehow Mackenzie still feltâ¦alone in all of it.
The twins were finally being discharged tomorrow, so Lucâs world was going to get even busier. Emma was about to get married and become a wife and a mom all in one instant I-do moment. And once Jace healed, heâd most certainly go back to bull riding.
Mackenzie couldnât shake the notion that she was being left behind once again. And she didnât like feeling sorry for herself. Didnât like this weight strangling her.
At least the campout was tonight, and many of the guests had signed up for it. Which meant that she should have a night to relax, since she wasnât in charge of that. Sure, sheâd be around in case of any emergencies, but at least the evening would allow her to chill.
After organizing, she walked over to the lodge. Jace was sitting on the front steps, almost as if heâd been waiting for someone. Her? Strange. Theyâd been so well behaved since the migraine encounter. No more touchy-feely. No more diving into the depths sheâd promised herself she wouldnât go near.
He hadnât even pressured her to talk about the past. If this was the calm in the middle of the storm, Mackenzie wanted to rent a room and stay here.
âAnyone ever tell you that you work too much, Wilder?â
She dropped down beside him. âAnyone ever tell you that you stick your nose in other peopleâs business too much?â
His head cocked. âNope.â
âWell, they should. If you must know, taking guests white-water rafting does not qualify as work to me.â The icy-cold splash of water misting her, the thrill of the next big drop. She loved every second of it.
âI feel the same way about the shooting range. I just got back from supervising that.â He nudged her shoulder with his. âYou look like you could use a night off.â
âMaybe.â
âDefinitely. So you should be thankful I finagled one for you.â
âHuh?â She glanced at him. âWhat do you mean?â
âI mean I talked to the bossââ
âI am the boss,â Mackenzie interrupted, pathetically relishing Jaceâs chuckle.
