Chapter Five

Tanya decided to take the day off, even if it was Monday and would normally be the start of another work week. She hadn’t had a real day off since she’d started working for Drew ten days ago. Besides, she wasn’t all that happy with him at the moment. He had paddled her, after all, for “blatantly disobeying him.”

She eased out of bed, mumbling to herself about some men just being… well, men! What she needed was time away from the too handsome rancher with the wicked right arm. Boy, could he swing a paddle or what! She’d ended up sleeping on her stomach, which she didn’t like to do.

Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and ignoring the clock which told her she was over an hour late for work, she headed for the bathroom. A nice long shower sounded good. Then she’d go into town, if she could talk Greg into letting her use his truck. It hadn’t occurred to her until now that she didn’t have her own transportation. She’d just been too busy working to even think about it, and she’d no real reason to leave the ranch before today.

Almost an hour later she finally emerged from her little house. The shower had helped wake her up and improve her mood. However, her more upbeat mood dimmed as she spotted Greg working with Drew in the corral. Greg was riding a very skittish looking mare that had arrived the other day. Drew seemed to be offering words of wisdom, or something. Darn it all, she really hadn’t wanted to run into her boss. She’d called and left a message on his cell phone earlier about taking the day off, and he hadn’t called her back…which she’d considered a good thing.

She sucked in a breath, raised her chin in determination, and headed toward the corral. Her stomach knotted tighter with each step closer. Both Drew, now more or less glowering at her approach, and the nervous mare made her uneasy.

Drew faced her as she stopped a good twenty feet away. “Greg’s got her under control. You don’t have to worry about SallyAnne.”

“SallyAnne?” Then she remembered seeing the papers that had come with the too-thin buckskin—Drew had told her—when she’d been delivered to the ranch. “Oh, the horse.” Still, Tanya was hesitant to go any closer. Her idea of “under control” and Drew’s were completely different.

Below the brim of his wide-brimmed hat, Drew’s eyebrows were drawn together in annoyance. “What do you want? I thought you were taking the day off. Not that I’m all that happy about it,” he added sourly.

“And it’s all about keeping you happy isn’t it!” The words were out of her mouth before she could censor them. His jaw tightened. “Okay, I’m sorry about that. It’s just that I’m caught up on the bookkeeping. I haven’t had a day to myself since I came here. You don’t want me—“

He cut her off, “All right! Take the day off.”

“I intend to.” The conversation was frustrating.
