“How about that. What about their place?” I turned to gaze into his eyes. He was smiling. I knew at that moment something was up.
“Well, he would like for us to take it over.”
My mouth fell open. Seth had always bragged that the only way he’d leave Texas was in a pine box. “You mean take over his ranch? His cattle? Just buy him out lock, stock, and barrel?”
“Everything,” Seth said with a nod. “He’s showed me the books. It’s a working ranch, makes a nice profit every year. He’s willing to give us a good price if we want to buy it.”
“Wow,” I said again. “Can we afford it.”
“I’ve crunched the numbers and with what we’ve saved and my GI bill, yes, I think we can.”
“Is that what you want?” I asked. “Will you be happy being a small-time cattle rancher for the rest of your days?”
“If you’re with me,” Shane said. “I think that sounds…”
“Amazing?”
“Yeah. Amazing.”
I put my arms around his waist and leaned into him. “Can I ask you one question?”
He rested his cheek on the top of my head. “Just one?”
“Yes, just one.”
“Shoot.”
“How would you feel about having a little cowhand to help out on the ranch in about eight months?” I gazed up into his eyes. There were tears in his eyes. He gave a little chuckle and smiled.
“I think that would be…”
“Amazing,” I said.
“Yes. Simply amazing.”
