Jake and Nik fell back in their chairs laughing, knowing better. “Giving up already,” Jake asked, with a telltale grin. “I always knew you were a pansy.”
Giving him the bird, Kris looked across the table. “How about you Dad, what wealth of knowledge do you have to offer?”
Chewing on his toothpick, his dad sat contemplating, then answered, “Listen to Jules and Linnie. Some of the best times your mother and I ever had were spent just sitting together quietly or going for a walk. With Dani it would seem that less is better. I do wonder though, she’s pretty young to move away from everything and everyone she knows, and take on the responsibilities of a ranch all alone, albeit a small one. Seen a lot in my time, but something tells me there’s more to the story here, and given her behavior...” He shook his head a little and took a drink of his coffee. “I pretty much see red flags all over this one.”
Well, couple that with what Linnie had said, and Kris pretty much came to a complete stop. Could she be on the run? “I’ll finish up with the morning chores and head over there. We picked up supplies for a new fence yesterday and I’m sure she wants me to put it up.” Well, at least he thought she wanted his help.
“Head on over there now,” his dad answered. “Help her out, see if you can get a handle on what’s going on. I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach on this one, and when I get that, I never ignore it. It’ll take you most of the day, but you should be about done come sundown. We’ve got things here.”
