Chapter 5

Scarlett was humming along with the radio system playing “Jolene” by Dolly Parton in the large front room as she swept the hardwood floors. Leo had gone out to pick up a few groceries but insisted she stay within the safe confines of their home. The triplets and twins were expected to be back later around midnight after picking up the new livestock, and she could hardly wait. She wanted to make sure her men came back to a clean house. It was the least she could do after they’d saved her life.

Byron slept in his bed down the hall after an exhausting evening on calf-watch, but she was given an alarm button by the men should anything happen to her while Byron was asleep. The button set off an alarm in Byron’s room so that he could immediately come to her aid.

Scarlett gasped in surprise after hearing a sudden rasp at the front door. They weren’t expecting any guests, Leo had made that clear, so she was hesitant to open it. But she decided to just approach the window slowly to peek through the curtains and see who was standing at the front door. Pulling the white lace curtain to the side, she saw a lovely middle-aged woman standing there, impeccably dressed with her blonde hair in a neat chignon. The woman was holding a red picnic basket in her hands.

Trusting this beautiful, sophisticated lady had nothing to do with the plot to have her killed, Scarlett cracked the door open a bit, but she made sure to keep the chain lock connected to the wall, just in case.

When she opened the door, the woman’s painted lips smiled at her. “Hello, darling,” she greeted her cheerfully in a thick Russian accent, which seemed to give her an even greater air of sophistication that Scarlett had to admit was intimidating.

Scarlett returned her smile. “Good morning, ma’am. How can I help you?”

“Well, I’m making my way through Knotty, selling fun things for couples.” She gave a casual shrug and smirk. “I couldn’t help but notice a saddle sitting on the porch. Are you staying here with a cowboy of your very own?”

Scarlett felt heat rush to her cheeks, and she looked down for a moment in embarrassment. “Um, yes, ma’am. I guess you could say that.”

The woman arched an eyebrow and gave her another friendly smile. “Oh, don’t be embarrassed, my dear. A knockout like yourself should be able to have a buffet of men at her beckon call. I know I had a few in my day.”

Scarlett felt at ease that the lovely woman was not judgmental. “Well, you’re a very beautiful woman. I could just imagine how many men have chased you.”

“But that’s the thing, dear,” she said as she held up one manicured and jeweled finger. “For women like us, it may be easy to get the man, but how do you keep him is the question.” She pulled out a business card from the fancy picnic basket and handed it to her.
