Chapter 9

When she got back to her house, her dad was waiting for her. “Hi, Dad, what’s up?”

“I am glad to see Sam is fine. I just got this text from Peter. It’s a picture that brought back some fun memories, should I forward it to you?”

“Sure, Dad, send it over.”

It was the newspaper picture of them sitting on the sofa with Oscar and Luella, the cougar babies.

“I need to show this to Sam and tell him the whole story.”

Henry got up off of the porch swing. “Peter has sure turned into a happy, successful adult. I used to be worried about his future. But he definitely made something of himself. You know he never married.”

“What are you saying, Dad?” Dani knew her father too well to think it was an innocent remark.

“Oh nothing, dear, I’m just so happy to see him doing well.” Henry walked back through the woods to the ranch house.

“Sam, come on in now. The doctor said you should take it easy. You can keep Aussie in the house with you if you keep him in the box.”

She changed into her jeans and headed out the door, yelling back. “Take him out for potty breaks, but come right back inside to rest. I am going over to the stables.”

Dani sighed in relief as she walked through the woods toward the barn. On the way, she passed Dr. Ryan.

“How’s Sam?” he asked.

She reluctantly stopped to answer his question. “His arm is not broken, so we’re good.” She started to leave.

“I would be happy to take a look at him in a day or two.” His eyes wandered the length of her. There it was again—he was checking her out.

“That will not be necessary.” Slime ball. Dani walked away from the man faster than she had intended.

“Hey, Carson, could I have a word?”

Carson leaned back against the coral fence and gave the slightest nod toward the doctor. “I heard there was trouble following that one.”

Dani wasn’t interested in Dr. Ryan, but she was curious how Carson knew anything about the man. But when she asked, he just laughed. “I have my ways, Dani girl.”

“From your anonymous past, I presume?” she loved this man. His crusty, old smile still charmed the women. She knew he was living incognito himself, but her dad never would answer her questions about it.

“Never you mind about that, Dani. How’s Aussie doing?” Carson had a slight smile as if he’d pulled a fast one on her.

She had to laugh. “Yes, Aussie. Well, to tell you the truth, Sam is in heaven about that puppy. And training him will be a good experience for Sam. I am assuming you are going to give him pointers, because I have no clue how to do this. The only dog I ever had ran the whole household.”

“That’s the plan,” Carson said.

“Sam is resting this afternoon. Can I saddle up that Palomino for a ride around the lake? Its doctor’s orders.”

“I will get her ready for you. Why don’t you take a walk through the stables? We have some mighty-fine animals here now.
