“Of course I am, Savvie. But I damn well don’t have to like it.”
“So... I need two horses.”
“I figured you might. I have two Crown B bred horses I think will work. Tansy Reed’s been working Cimarron. He’s rough and still needs seasoning but he’s fast, and I think the two of you will work well. He has a soft mouth.”
“Okay.” Wow. Tansy Reed was the premier barrel racer and trainer. She’d retired from the rodeo circuit to raise her family and train horses. “What about a roping horse?”
“Have the perfect guy for you. I’ve been working Big Red myself. He’s quick, responsive and I swear he knows where the calf is gonna be before I do. I’ve also done both heading and heeling with him in case you want to add team roping.”
“I’ll keep it in mind. Don’t have a partner for that.” She pursed her lips, considering. “Yet. I’ll look around, see who’s available.”
“I’ll load up and head that way today. I’ll be there by Thursday morning. You’ll have time to ride them both, and they’ll have their ground legs back before the rodeo starts.”
A knock on the door caught her attention. “Call me when you get here. I’ll meet you at Clark County. Somebody’s at the door. I gotta go, Kade.”
His heavy sigh hung between them. “Are you sure, little girl?”
“Yeah. Everything is gonna be fine. You’ll take care of Indy for me, right?”
“You don’t even have to ask.”
She ended the call, and when she caught Chase’s attention, he waved her toward the door. She opened it, only to be confronted by a handsome man. He vaguely resembled Chase, except instead of sharp brown eyes, this man’s were a startling blue and his hair was a dark russet brown instead of black.
“Huh.” He stared at her, obviously not very impressed. “I can’t wait until Uncle Cyrus gets a load of you. Let’s go.”
“Go?”
“Yeah. I’m Tucker, soon to be your cousin-in-law. I’m taking you shopping. Clothes. Truck. Trailer. Sound familiar?”
“Before we sign the paperwork?”
“Nothing goes into your name until after the marriage.”
“Oh.” Savannah wasn’t quite sure how she felt about that.
Tucker looked over the top of her head and called to Chase. “We’ll stop by Security and get her into the system. See you for dinner.”
He grabbed her arm and tugged, but she jerked free. “Wait. My purse.”
Reaching around her, Tucker pulled the door closed. “You won’t need it.”
