LENNIE WALKED ON EGGSHELLS as she entered the kitchen. She'd actually showered before going in for dinner, telling herself it would please her mother, but now she wondered if she had only been playing for time.

Her mother came in the room and eyed her night clothes. "Hey, honey. Want me to make you a plate?"

"Thanks, Mom." Seating herself at the table, she watched her mother as she spooned food from the pots on the stove. Was she in a good mood? Was she tired? "How's it going, Mom?

Her mother glanced over her shoulder as she put the serving spoon back in the pot. Raising her brows, she said, "Fine, honey. How are you?"

"Great. Just great." Crap, she sounded too eager. She was never great after a long day.

Her mom set the plate in front of Lennie. "I'm glad you're eating in here tonight. I've missed our talks."

Damn, a bullet straight to the heart. Her mom's life out here in the boonies was a lonely one. Lennie had thought only of herself as she took her dinners in her room so she could talk to Dylan. "I've missed them, too, Mom." The bite Lennie took nearly stuck in her throat as she considered what a crappy daughter she'd been. Her calls with Dylan would have to happen later in the evening from now on. "Tell me what you did today."

Her mom always had a large garden, and she talked about that in detail now.

Lennie smiled, content, knowing she gave her mother something she needed just by listening.

When her mother wound down, Lennie put her fork on the edge of her plate. Her voice lowered, she said, "Mom, I need to tell you something, and I hope to God you won't be mad at me."

Her mother's eyes widened and she nodded.

"I've been seeing Dylan Govain, the youngest of the boys, for a while now. We love each other."

Her mother's mouth opened, but no sound came out.

"You can't tell Dad, Mom. I don't know what it would do to him. I have a reason for telling you now."

Her mom said warningly, "Lennie, your—"

"Mom, wait, let me explain. I didn't mean for this to happen. It just did. The Govains are not the terrible people I always thought they were. Dylan's sweet and kind and—"

Her mother's eyes narrowed.

"Anyway," Lennie went on without taking a breath, "Dylan has been worried at the responsibility I've been shouldering and how stressed I've been—"

Her mother's eyes darkened with worry, "Honey, what—"

"No, listen, Mom. Roy, Dylan's dad, found out about us—it was an accident—but when Dylan told him how things have been since Dad's stroke, he wanted to help. He especially wanted to help me."

Her mom sucked in her bottom lip, her eyes wary, but she didn't interrupt again.

"He's sending Dylan and two cowhands over here to help me out for a few weeks. We're going to take care of a lot of things that Randy and I haven't been able to get to like repairing the barn roof and oiling the windmills.
