CHAPTER FOURTEEN

THEY HAD EVEN managed to get Caleb to come out to the bar. Which meant that Ellie must be settled at home with Amelia, because God knew it was usually difficult to tear his brother away from his personal project.

Jacob had to wonder how long Caleb could possibly sustain an entire life built around supporting their friend’s widow.

Mostly, he had to wonder what the hell Caleb’s end goal was.

Because Caleb had to be in love with her. There was basically no other reason a man would give everything of himself to a woman like that. Maybe it was all guilt, but Jacob had a hard time believing it.

And Caleb...

Well, he was starting to wonder if Caleb was just punishing himself.

But Caleb’s situation was not Jacob’s concern tonight, and he was left to wonder why in the hell he felt so compelled to talk to his brothers about his situation.

Mostly because this wasn’t something he could pretend wasn’t happening.

He heard that heartbeat today in the doctor’s office. And he didn’t want to give Vanessa any kind of freak-out, because she wasn’t exactly in the best place either.

And he needed the plan. Dammit. He was going to have to build a house.

After he left the office he put in a call to Graybar Construction, talking to them about his property, and when he would need the house built by, how he would need it positioned. They said there was no way that Faith, their world-famous architect, could design a house for him in that space of time with her workload. And he said he hadn’t given a damn about how famous the person who designed his house was as long as it could get built.

So they’d told him they could give him one of their standard plans and tweak from there.

It gave him details to control, and that made him happy enough.

Somehow, he had to get on top of this. Somehow, he had to make it...okay.

“I’m buying beer,” Jacob said, clapping both his brothers on their backs and turning to walk toward the bar. Laz was there pouring drinks, and Jacob asked him for whatever he had on tap.

“Dark or light?”

“Amber,” he returned.

Laz shook his head but produced three glasses of a local amber ale, which Jacob brought back to the table.

“I wanted an IPA,” Gabe said.

“No. I judge you for that and we’re not having it at the table.”

“I don’t think that’s your choice,” Gabe said.

“Sure it is. I just paid. Also, I have something to talk to you both about.”

“Me too,” Gabe said. “I offered West a job.”

“I’m sorry, you what?”

“I offered West a job. At the ranch. And he took it.”

“He took a job at the ranch. Here.”

“He won’t be coming until around Christmastime. But yeah,” Gabe said.

“What about... What about the rest of them?”

“Still working to track them down. I’ve found West, but the other two...no leads at all. I don’t even have names. I don’t know where to begin.”

“West’s mom didn’t give you names?”

“No. She barely wanted to share West’s information with me.
