Chapter Seven

“Hasn’t everything worked out great?”

Annie glanced at the door. Brett leaned against the jamb, his wary expression belying the humor in his words.

“I guess so, if you—” She stopped when he answered his cell phone.

As she waited for him to end his call, she decided that her brother was right. Things had turned out well. After reading the papers Tyler had given her a couple weeks ago, the deal had quickly gone through. Everyone, including their lawyer, agreed it was a great deal. In fact, everything had been signed quickly, and Tyler had bought out their father immediately.

Even though everything had worked out, working together still felt odd. She’d hardly seen Tyler at all the last couple of weeks while everything progressed, and as much as she hated to say it, she missed him.

After finishing his phone call, Brett came back into her office and dropped into the chair across from her. Leaning forward, he placed his hands on his knees and stared at her.

“Dad isn’t coming in today. He told me last night that he and Mom are going to the travel agent to plan a trip.”

A sadness crept through Annie. Although she was happy for her parents, she’d miss having her father at work each day. This part of her life was over, and she was uncertain as to what the future held. “Did you tell him he can do it online himself?”

Brett raised one eyebrow. “Dad? With that level of technology? Might as well tell a dog to tap dance.”

Annie laughed. “Yeah, well, you’re right. But Mom could do it.”

“She could, but she’ll go along with whatever Dad wants,” Brett pointed out.

Annie knew he was right. Unless it was something really important, their mother was a peacemaker. She avoided confrontation if possible. “Are they going to Tahiti?”

“Yeah. I think so.”

Drumming her fingers on the wooden top of her desk, Annie studied her brother. “So what happens now? We’ve moved the three horses we had into Tyler’s barn and turned our old barn into a medical center and storeroom. What do we do next?”

Before Brett could answer, Tyler appeared in the doorway looking tan and fit and unbelievably handsome. Annie shifted her gaze to him. “What do you think?”

He moved farther into the room, his penetrating brown gaze making a slow flush creep across her cheeks. The more time she spent around him, the more intense her attraction for him became. He made her feel alive, something she hadn’t felt in years. Her heart raced so fast, she felt like she’d just sprinted around the parking lot. A slow smile crept across his lips, and seemingly without will, she smiled back.

“We need a good stallion for starters,” he said. “All we’ve got at the moment is three mares.”

Brett grinned. “Sounds good to me.”

“We also should buy more mares,” Tyler said. “And hire at least two more stable hands.”

Things were happening so quickly that Annie said, “Whoa. Slow down a little. We need to take a look at our money and figure out the best way to use it.
