“AS CHRISTMAS SURPRISES went,” Jonas told his brothers, “I’m pretty ashamed at the effort. Jess is no easy case, and if you’re trying to get her hooked up by Christmas Eve, which is tomorrow,” he said, consulting the date on his cell phone, “I’d say you’ve sabotaged your own game. Even if Aberdeen says her brother needs a date of some sort to keep him from feeling awkward at the party, you picked the wrong woman. It isn’t going to happen.” Jonas shook his head and went to get a cup of hot tea from the sideboard in the bunkhouse. “Jess has always been one of the boys.”

“Wrong horse, wrong woman,” Sam said. “We shouldn’t have let Rafe make so many decisions.”

“I think I saw a spark between them,” Rafe argued, and Creed snickered.

“More like a shock when the wrong wire is touched to an electrical circuit. Very unpleasant,” he said.

“Johnny’s on his way in,” Pete warned from his spot at the window.

Johnny walked inside the bunkhouse with Judah. “Did you know there’s some kind of storm they’re talking about in town? Something about a big-time white Christmas.”

“What were you doing in Diablo?” Jonas asked.

“Buying a pair of boots,” Johnny said, completely nonchalant. He wasn’t about to admit he’d also been buying some riding duds that were hopefully a little more attractive to the female eye.

“We better make sure the barn is secure and the horses are in. Remember what happened to Judah when the barn door lost a piece of wood in the last storm.” Sam got up and turned the television to the Weather Channel.

“I saw the Diablos today,” Rafe said, and the brothers all stopped and looked at him.

Johnny hesitated, not certain what they were talking about, but sensing the sudden solemnity in the air. The brothers considered each other for a moment, then silently got up and went out the door. Johnny waited, until Rafe poked his head back inside.

“Come on, Johnny. You can ride with me. We can use the extra pair of hands.”

Johnny wasn’t certain about anything that required riding, but he sure as hell wasn’t complaining. If there was a storm on the way and the Callahans needed help, then he’d do his best to repay all their kindnesses with whatever he had to offer.
