“Carson, this isn’t going to happen.”

“A ride isn’t going to happen? Or dinner?”

“No, this,” she said, pointing from him to herself and back to him. “We are not going to happen.”

“Right, of course we aren’t.” He walked around her horse and was suddenly at her side. “I’m asking you to go for a ride. An hour or two of relaxation, not worrying about all the stuff piling up on us. I could use that break.”

She closed her eyes and prayed for strength. “Carson.”

When she opened her eyes he was still in front of her, his smile a little bit sweet and a little bit rakish. “Yes?”

“Why are you doing this?”

“Simple. We have unfinished business, Ruby. You left and I’ve spent a lot of years wondering why.”

“Because I wasn’t good for you,” she whispered. “We were young and making decisions that would have…”

“Changed everything?” he asked. “Because I’ve thought about that a lot over the years. My life would have been different if you’d been in it.”

“Mine, too,” she admitted.
