It was nearly noon by the time Connor returned to the ranch, and Sadie was so furious she thought her blood was boiling in her veins. By the time Connor had come home last night it was long past midnight. She’d heard his heavy steps in the hall, heard him pause in front of her door. He hadn’t bothered to knock or come inside. Hadn’t bothered to excuse his absence, and this morning he was gone before she even woke up. Avoiding her, obviously.

What had he done to make him feel so guilty he had to leave the house so early? And who had he done it with? That’s what she wanted to know.

She made herself stay in the kitchen even as his truck pulled in and parked. She was in the middle of setting the table for lunch, putting out the fixings for sandwiches and a large bowl of salad. Despite her fury at the way Connor had treated her in the last twenty-four hours, it was still her job to run the house, stock the farm stand, make herbal remedies and make sure her sisters were fed. Everyone was busy, and she was determined to do her part.

Even if she was being cheated on.

Again.

Connor entered the back door and let it shut behind him. “Sadie, got a minute?”

“No. I don’t.”

She bustled to the refrigerator, opened it, but wasn’t sure what to take out. She was shaking so hard that when she finally spotted a jar of mayonnaise, she had a hard time grabbing it. She turned to place it on the table, and found Connor directly behind her.

“Listen, I know I fucked up—”

“That’s right. You fucked up. It’s common courtesy to let someone know when you plan to stay out all hours.”

“I didn’t mean to stay out so late—”

“I was up until nearly one-thirty in the morning.”

Connor looked sheepish. “It was closer to three by the time I got home,” he admitted. “I got delayed a couple of times, and—”

“I can only imagine.”

“That’s just it,” he said. “I don’t want you imagining, because it was nothing like that. Not really.”

“Not really? That makes me feel a whole hell of a lot better,” she snapped. Ducking around him, she placed the mayonnaise on the table, and realized she didn’t have an appetite anymore.

Jo came into the room. “Is it almost lunch? I’m hungry.” She stopped when she caught sight of Connor. “Am I interrupting something?”

“No—”

“Yes—”

“Sadie, step outside,” Connor said. “I’ve got something I need to say to you.”

Sadie’s heart plunged into her stomach. Something he had to say to her? There was only one thing it could be. He’d thought about it, and realized they had nothing in common. Realized he didn’t want to stay here on this ranch in the middle of nowhere. Realized she wasn’t all that interesting, after all.

He’d probably realized that last bit in between the legs of another woman.

“This’ll just take a few minutes.” He held out his hand, but she didn’t take it. Instead, she skirted around him, stalked to the back door and headed outside.
