This , I came to the barn to brush down the horses and clear my head I knew Mom would want to ride, and Nikki Shit I hadn’t even ventured into that proble my Fortress of Solitude

Patrick at least took care of her Those tere like a pair of chicks They’d become besties or whatever when I ay She was constantly hanging on his ar I had no idea why Elaine put up with that shit Strike that I knew exactly why Elaine put up with it My little brother rapped so tightly around her little finger she’d be blind not to see it

Not that I could blame him Elaine was cool She wasn’t my Mariska, but Patrick could’ve done a lot worse

“You’re up early, cowboy” My stomach clenched at her voice Nikki “You make those boots look damn sexy”

Straightening, I patted Scout as I oing, Nik”

“Not bad” Her blue eyes traveled over nored it “I confess, I was really happy when your mom asked me to join her on this trip”

“I didn’t know you and Mom were close”

“She seeood for you”

“Want to show it to me, Cowboy?”

Clearing my throat, I was about tofor a ride, Nikki?”

“I wish” She slanted her eyes at me
