Vi tossed and turned and couldn’t get Todd’s words out of her head. She wasn’t sure why she wasn’t basking in the warmth of them and counting her blessings that she’d found someone like him. She wasn’t sure why she couldn’t have just said it back to him and they could’ve laughed and kissed and held hands for the rest of the night.

But she knew her stomach didn’t feel settled, and she wished she could bring it up to him. They were going to Allison Baxter’s that day, so Todd could look at the sheepdog puppies and pick one he could bring home in a few weeks.

He’d insisted she come with him, and he could be quite persuasive through texting if he wanted to. Or maybe Vi had just let herself be talked into going.

No matter what, she rose early, still exhausted from her night of little sleep and constant overthinking, put on her exercise clothes, and set out down the road toward Graham and Laney’s ranch.

She’d been laying off the frosting and upping her game with the walking for the past couple of weeks. She’d noticed a difference in how her clothes fit, but no one had said anything to her yet about losing weight.

Laney met her at the end of her driveway and whistled for the dogs. Bear and Daisy came running from the backyard, and Vi laughed as she accepted slobbery kisses from them both. “All right, all right,” she said. “Let’s go.”

Laney pushed the stroller with Ronnie in it, and said, “You look tired, Vi.” She scanned Vi and met her eye again. “And you’ve lost weight.”

“Oh, ten pounds,” Vi said, knowing she could lose at least thirty more. “And I’m not really doing this to lose weight. I just want to feel better.”

“And do you?” Laney asked as they started back up the hill to the lodge. Vi was glad she lived at the top of the hill, because she didn’t have to start out her walk going up the way Laney did.

“I do.” Vi smiled. “Sleeping better—except for last night—and I think I might let Todd get me back on a horse as soon as his leg is healed.”

“I can teach you to ride,” Laney said. “If you want, you know, before you have to do it in front of Todd.”

“Really? That would be great.” Vi grinned at Laney. “But I don’t want the one that threw Todd.”

Laney trilled out a laugh. “Goldie is the mildest horse at the lodge. She just got spooked.” Their breathing increased as they started up a steeper part. “So why didn’t you sleep well last night?”

I love you.

The words had kept her awake forever. She drew in a deep breath, which accelerated the pounding in her temples. She breathed out and in, in and out. She was friends with Laney, probably one of the better friends Vi had ever had.

But did she want to tell her about the intimate details of her and Todd’s relationship?

Laney had the wait-time of an elephant, and she didn’t ask twice.
