Wade was amazed. So far, Victoria hadn’t made any negative comments since they’d first gotten in the chopper and headed to the ranch. He figured, when she realized the cabin was remote, she would find a bone to pick with that, but she hadn’t said a word. She had even seemed to really enjoy looking at the horses. He just couldn’t figure it out. None of this was typical Victoria behavior. Inside he was glad. Especially after what they’d shared. But at the same time, he remained cautious. None of it made any sense. It was the same twist-tie emotion he’d had since bringing her home from the hospital. He expected the worst but relished the feeling of delight when her behavior was nothing like what he’d anticipated.

Tomorrow they would head up to Stockman’s Ridge. The only way to get there was on horseback. There were some really scenic views, but it was a tough ride. They should get back before the sun disappeared to attend the campfire. They’d sit on a log, eating red beans and sausage cooked over an open fire with some corn bread. As a kid it had been one of his favorite meals. No French chef, no expensive wine. And the only music was if one of the ranch hands brought his guitar.

If Victoria survived tomorrow, he was going to give up watching for inconsistencies in her behavior and just accept that she had amnesia and wasn’t faking it. He had to accept it. Short of having her muck stalls, there was not a lot else he could do to bring out her true colors. If it turned out she really did love the ranch and the horses, he would enjoy every minute he was with her until her memory did truly return. If she changed at that time, he would face and deal with it then.

He certainly had never expected, with all the men she’d paraded around, that she would be a virgin. He’d almost lost it that night. No, Victoria wasn’t at all what he expected when he brought her home from the hospital. And he thanked his lucky stars for that. If she truly did love the outdoors as much as he did, it was a match made in heaven. And that he was hard-pressed to believe. He must always remain aware that this was, in fact, Victoria. Her memory could come back at any time and bring with it the return of her old self as she was before the accident. A tinge of sadness touched his heart. Would there ever be a time he could believe she was who she presented herself to be?

When they returned to Pine House, a member of the household staff told them their bags had been left in the upstairs hallway outside the master bedroom. She ran up the stairs, curious to see what it looked like. The room was very spacious, with a large bed in the center draped in silk and printed with images of deer and the forest.
