Annette settled herself at the small desk in the den after JD had made a magnificent breakfast with all the fixings. And then heâd been nice enough to agree to take Tony to daycare.
It amazed her how quickly Tony seemed to bond with JD and how JD took to being the caregiver of a toddler, especially since everyone warned her that he was horrible with kids.
Something sheâd witnessed firsthand a few times when theyâd first met, but in the last twenty-four hours, JD had become a completely different man when it came to children, and Annette was very grateful for his help. Only, JD spent all his time and attention on Tony, or the shooting and trying to find Ron, and very little attention on her, except to make sure she had food, water, blankets, and ice.
Wait until she asked him to wash her hair tonight.
She laughed at her own thoughts. As if sheâd actually ask him to do such a thing.
She lifted her leg and adjusted the ice pack. Time to go through the files JD brought from Ronâs old office. She thumbed through the first one. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Of course, she wasnât exactly sure what she was looking for, other than strange tagging of wild horses and specific sales to Robert Brothers and Bella.
A tap at the door startled her. She snagged the cane and hobbled toward the front door with her heart hammering in her chest. Pulling her phone from her back pocket, she made sure it was unlocked and ready to hit the panic button. Through the side window, she caught a glimpse of Ellie.
Annette groaned.
Ellie was the last person she wanted to see.
Jealousy wasnât an emotion that Annette wore well, and it was rearing its ugly head right now.
She pulled open the door. âCan I help you?â
âSorry to bother you, but Iâm looking for JD, and I was told he might be here?â
âHeâs not at the moment, but Iâm happy to give him a message.â Being passive aggressive wasnât a pretty look on her either, yet she was going to try it out anyway. What JD saw in this woman, Annette had no idea.
âJust tell him Ellie stopped by, and Iâll meet him at his place tonight.â
âOh, well, Iâve got some bad news for you. JD wonât be there. Heâll be here.â
Ellieâs jaw slacked open. Quickly, she snapped it shut and narrowed her eyes. But she didnât get a chance to say anything since the sound of a horse galloping across the land caught both of their attention. Ellie turned on her heeled boots and stomped off down the steps.
If Annette were any other woman, sheâd kick Ellie on the backside and watch her tumble into the mud that her son had made on the side of the porch before being taken to daycare. Annette could actually visualize Ellie with mud caked in her platinum blond hair.
âEllie? What are you doing out here?â JD asked as he jumped from Jax and tied him up around the big tree out front.
