Chapter Ten

Wade stared at Penny, the woman who was like a grandmother to him. Had been there for his family always. He didn’t like her idea at all. He was sitting beside Allie right now and she had accidently bumped his thigh with her thigh and heat had risen up through him instantly. He’d been fighting off his attraction to her harder than ever since the calf incident that morning.

Three days in and he was struggling. He was attracted to Allie but that didn’t mean he was going to fall in love with Allie. He wasn’t going to let that happen. He had his reasons and he tried to explain, but he did not want to hurt Allie and he had this big fear that he would. And now Penny was really messing with his plan. But there was no getting around it. Penny got what Penny wanted.

“Penny, you are driving me crazy but okay. We’re going to come because I know you and Granddaddy had a plan and we’re going to see this thing through. Is that fine with you, Allie?”

She was biting the inside of her lip, and her eyes were very serious. “I am, but I thought I was going to come here and learn a few things on the ranch, and you know, play married until we parted ways. I hadn’t planned on having to truly lie to anybody. Until right now, it hadn’t hit me that all your friends and neighbors will be wanting to congratulate you. That will be lying. Face-to-face lying. I’m assuming you’ll invite all the important people in Wade’s business and people in his granddaddy’s life?”

Penny nodded.

Allie took a deep breath and Wade could feel her turmoil. But he didn’t know what to do for her.

“Then that means we’re really going to be lying to them. And that makes me uncomfortable. I’m not good at lying. Never have been and I don’t like it. That’s probably why I’m so terrible at it and always fell for whatever lies a fella felt like telling me.”

Wade lost his appetite. She looked really panicked. She was so panicked she had clasped her hands together on the table around the front of her plate and her knuckles were white.

He placed a hand on top of hers. “Relax, Allie. Come on, breathe. Don’t get all uptight and nervous. We’re not going to be lying to them. Let’s just say that for the night of the wedding reception, we give it our all just like Granddaddy wanted. It won’t be like we’re flat out lying that way—we’re at least giving it a shot. What do you think about that? Will that help you?” What was he committing to?

“I know you don’t want to and I understand. I respect that you don’t want to lie to me either or lead me on. It’s just so much more complicated than I thought when I married you. I thought it was cut-and-dried. I had no idea.”

“Sugar,” Penny smiled sympathetically at her, “I like you.
