“And you’re worried about how that turned out.”
“Yes. I thought we’d all be better off knowing the truth, but now I’m not so sure.”
Ben sighed. “Well, I don’t have any advice. My knowledge of family dynamics is sadly lacking.”
“Why?”
He met her gaze and smiled. “I should have known you’d ask that. Which means I shouldn’t have made the remark in the first place. Sorry. I’d rather not get into it right now.”
Although his tone was friendly and he was doing his best to be polite, she felt a brick wall go up. She couldn’t blame him. They’d met a few hours ago. Just because she’d blabbed some of her family information didn’t mean that he’d want to do the same. “That’s fine. Let’s switch topics.”
He polished off the last of his coffee. “To what?”
“The saddle you brought here. Where is it?”
He laughed. “You know, I’ve only been around you for a little while, but somehow I knew you’d ask that question. Now that you know about the saddle, its whereabouts is driving you nuts, isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“I guess I can trust you.”
“You can. I wouldn’t ruin this surprise for anything.”
“It’s in the far back corner of the tractor barn under a blanket.”
“Who’s seen it?”
“Jack, Gabe and Nick. That’s it.”
She gave him her most winsome smile, the one even her brothers had never been able to resist. “Please take me out there. I want to see it, too.”
