Оглавление“I’m going to stay in the barn all night to make sure he’s okay.”
When Carter opened the door to the small office the strong smell of bitter coffee wafted out. “Want a cup?”
“Sure.” Shannon followed him into the small room.
“Fair warning.” He pulled two mugs from a deep drawer. “It’s the leaded stuff.”
“Good.” Shannon accepted the cup of coffee from Carter. “Someone has to keep you awake.”
He set his mug down and cocked his head. “You don’t have to do that, you know. I’ll be fine on my own. I can drink the whole pot. I won’t let anything happen to Tater Tot, if that’s what you’re worried about.”
After the pangs of loneliness Shannon had felt around her family earlier, she didn’t want to head back to her bunkhouse. All that waited for her there were more reminders that she was alone and might always be. She wanted Carter’s company right now.
Maybe she needed it.
And maybe—just maybe—he needed her company, too.
Even if he wasn’t willing to admit it.
