Chapter Eight

Jane dug through the suitcase and came up with two little matching church dresses. They’d been a baby shower gift, and when she’d seen the toddler sizes next to her tiny newborns, she’d thought they would never fit. Now she was grateful for the older woman’s foresight in including a few larger sizes in the pile of clothes she’d given Jane.

“Whoops! Where are you going?”

Jane jogged after Suzie, who’d made a diaper-clad escape down the hallway, and carried her back into the bedroom. She shut the door tightly behind her and put the toddler down next to her sister.

“Time to get dressed for church,” Jane said. “Come here, Suzie. You first.”

The dresses were almost too small on the girls. They seemed to be growing so fast that they could be into a dress and out of it again before they even managed to stain it. But looking down at the dresses that were a little snug around the chest already made her heart beat just a bit faster. She’d known that raising two kids at once would be expensive, but they cost even more than she’d imagined and the constant pressure to keep providing all the necessities was taxing.

When the money came from the inheritance, would she dare use it for things like church dresses? Or would she be too cautious to touch it for anything less than the bed-and-breakfast? She didn’t know yet. She was still praying about that—she needed guidance. One thing was for sure, her own wardrobe could wait. The pink dress that she’d worn to the lawyer’s office was the best that she owned, and she wore it every week to church during the warm months.

When Jane had finished dressing the girls, she opened the door and they both exploded into the hallway in a torrent of giggles and pattering feet. Jane could hear the shower going, and she could only assume that Peg was getting ready for church as well.

The girls flung themselves onto the couch, where they climbed around and babbled to each other. Jane smiled at their antics and headed into the kitchen. All she wanted right now was a strong cup of coffee.

The side door opened and Colt came inside just as she entered the kitchen. He tossed his hat onto a peg and sat down to pull off his boots.

“Morning,” he said.

“Good morning. I’m getting myself some coffee. Do you want some, too?”

“Yeah, that would be great. Just black,” Colt said. “One of my ranch hands is hungover, so I had to pitch in with chores this morning.”

“Hungover?” Jane said. “I’m sure that went over well.”

“Yeah.” He chuckled. “I’d fire him if I had any wiggle room right now. As it is, I gave him a stiff warning, I’m docking him a day of pay and here’s hoping that will be deterrent enough.”

“Sure hope so.” She poured two mugs of coffee and slid one toward him, then put some sugar into her own.

“So, I got a call last night from a neighbor who wants to buy a stretch of land that butts up against his,” Colt said.
