Chapter Twenty

Wes woke to a text, but it wasn’t Jill or Laura or Kent. “Thank you, Lord,” he muttered as he lifted the phone to look at it.

Colton had messaged him, saying, Too much snow to go out with Annie. I’ll have to tell you about her once we do go out.

Wes marveled at the fact that Colton had another girlfriend already. Wes had thought his brother would never date again, but Colton had gotten right back on the horse. Wes hoped he wasn’t rushing things, but Colton usually didn’t.

He’d dated Priscilla forever it seemed, and their engagement had lasted for over a year. So he was probably fine.

Bummer, he sent back to his brother. Do you think she has any friends up there interested in a soon-to-be unemployed man with no ambition?

Haha, Colton sent back. And actually yes, there are single women here in Coral Canyon.

Wes scoffed at the idea.

He hadn’t dated anyone seriously in probably two years, and he only went out when society deemed it necessary for him. And then, he asked someone he’d known for years that he could enjoy the fundraising dinner with, or the complimentary theater tickets, or whatever else black tie event he’d been invited to.

He only went with women he knew he wouldn’t fall for. Wes had done that twice, bought the diamond ring twice, been down on one knee twice.

And then he’d cancelled both weddings after only a few weeks. He wasn’t sure if he was afraid to commit, or if he just hadn’t been able to see himself with Claire or Lauren long-term.

He got up, because once Wes woke up, he wasn’t going back to sleep. He moved over to the windows in his bedroom, and looked out over the city. Or at least he tried. The snow had arrived in Denver too.

But instead of it making his heart sink to the soles of his shoes, the way it probably had for Colton, Wes seized the opportunity this snow gave him.

He returned quickly to his bedroom to get his phone from the nightstand, and he texted Jill, Laura, and Kent.

Lots of snow this morning. I’m headed to Ivory Peaks for the holidays, so can we reschedule this meeting?

He hated that he’d asked, but he could put his foot down in a second text if he had to.

Thankfully, Kent responded first, and he said, My front door is frozen shut, so yes, let’s reschedule.

Relief flowed through Wes, and he jumped in the shower before anyone else added their thoughts to the group text. He packed a bag quickly, checked his phone and found that both Laura and Jill had agreed.

Not that he cared. He hadn’t dressed for a meeting, but for a drive through the snow as he ventured northwest to Ivory Peaks.

His parents were getting older, and if Wes thought about it, so was he.

“Forty-seven,” he told himself as he walked toward the elevator that would take him from the penthouse on the thirty-first floor to his truck in the parking garage.
