“The stallion?”
“My stallion.”
We kissed again and I wanted to crawl inside him. “How's Lisa?” I whispered.
“She's OK. She's got a lot of adjusting to do.” He rubbed my back. “But Al knows how to help her.”
An older man, pudgy, with a pale face and a weary look, strolled over. I had the feeling he was getting ready to retire from some office job. “Uh, excuse me, Ms. Carson,” he said.
Jules and I parted but I held his hand.
'It's a nice ranch, and beautiful country.” He looked around longingly. “Are you willing to talk price?”
Jules scooped up the sign and tried to rip it.
I giggled when the plastic wouldn't rip. He shoved the sign into the trash bin. “I already bought the ranch and everything on it. There must be other ranches for sale, though.”
“Oh.” The man gave him a questioning look. “Everything? I thought the horses weren't for sale.” “They're not,” Jules said. “Especially the filly.”
The man looked at the horses in the corral. “Filly?” He chuckled. “All right. Good luck.” He turned and walked away.
Jules and I strolled toward the house, hand in hand. The sun was lowering over the red flanks of the distant Sangre Mountains. But for me, it was just rising. After all, the sun is but a morning star.
