A couple of hours later, Ames finally turned off the highway and onto the dirt lane that led to the farmhouse. He’d refused to drive even a mile over the speed limit, and Gray’s patience was at an all-time low.

“Here we go,” he said as he looked around the bucket seats of Ames’s truck. “The house comes into view…here.”

Ames passed the trees, and the farm and the farmhouse spread before them.

“Wow,” Elise said. “Look at all of this. It’s beautiful.” She looked at Gray with wide eyes and squeezed his hand.

They’d had a great lunch, where he’d eaten a lot of French fries, his whole burger, and a chocolate chip cookie. She’d conversed effortlessly with Ames and Hunter while Gray got his brain cells working again, and he sure did love having her in his life.

“I grew up in this house,” Gray said. “All of us boys worked this farm. Hunt and I work out here quite a bit these days.”

“I do too,” Ames said.

Gray needed to talk to Elise about the idea of him buying the farm, moving his parents into the granny house, and living out here.

“I love it,” she said.

“Yeah?”

“Oh yeah. I love farms and ranches and small towns.”

“That’s why you’re in Coral Canyon,” he said, looking at her.

“Sort of,” she said, looking away.

“I sense a story,” he said quietly.

“There’s a story,” she said. “I’ll tell you later.”

“Maybe we can take a walk around the farm this afternoon.”

“I can’t believe you can even walk at all.” She met his eyes. “You ran twenty-six miles this morning.”

“In under three hours,” Hunter said, looking at Gray with admiration in his eyes.

Gray grinned at him while his feet reminded him with a twinge of pain. “It’ll be a short walk.”

Ames brought the truck to a stop, and they all started getting out. Before Gray could close his door, his mother called hello from the porch, and a sigh moved through him. Instead of a walk around the farm this afternoon, he really needed a nap.

“Grandma,” Hunter said, running toward the porch. His mother hugged Hunter tight and said something to him. He nodded and headed into the house, probably to get his grandfather from the office.

“Hey, Ma.” Ames hugged their mother, and Gray took Elise’s hand as they walked up the steps toward his mother.

“Mom.” He hugged her too, feeling her anticipation way down deep in his own bones. He stepped back and faced Elise. “This is Elise Murphy. Elise, this is my mother, Beverly.”

“You can call me Bev,” she said. She pressed one hand over her heart, practically breathless. “Look at you. You’re so pretty, and who knew Gray would ever bring home another woman?”

“Mom, you’re embarrassing me.”

She didn’t even look at him. “You’re forty-four. You don’t get embarrassed.”

“It’s wonderful to meet you, ma’am,” Elise said, reaching for her hand. “Gray has a lot of good things to say about you, your husband, and this farm. I’m so pleased to be here.”

“How old are you, dear?”

“Mom,” Gray said, his irritation rearing.
