“Too soon?” By the look on Julie’s started face, Hank
Richardson figured he’d damn well jumped the gun. Then again, to his defense, in
the last year and a half since Julie and her two boys had come to live at the
Last Hope Ranch, he’d thought things had progressed to where the idea seemed
approachable.
Apparently, not as much as he’d hoped.
He felt bad. There was nowhere—short of a parachute—that the
poor woman could go. He’d taken her up in his plane, of all things, thinking
that a pass over the beautiful Crazy Mountains against a perfect late summer
sunset would be the perfect setting to pop the question. So much for perfect.
Hank withdrew the small blue velvet box that held the
pear-shaped two caret Tiffany diamond inside. His idea of a romantic marriage proposal
disappearing as quickly as the orange sun on the horizon.
“No. I’m sorry,” she stammered, holding her hand to her
heart. She looked like she might be ill.
I just…I wasn’t--”
“Say no more,” he said, pocketing the ring in his denim
shirt pocket.
She reached over and touched his forearm. “Hank, I’m
flattered—speechless, in fact. It’s just…”
“I’m moving too fast, right?” God, he’d have married her a
week after her divorce from that psychotic excuse of husband. He’d waited,
deciding it was worth the wait. Then again, maybe his sister, Caroline had been
right when she accused him of having ‘white knight’ syndrome.
“Hank,” Julie said softly. “You know how much I care about
you. You’ve been so good to me and the boys since we moved here.”
He raised his brow. That much was true. He’d flown her
brother Clay Saunders to California and had wound up taking a bullet in the
shoulder during the daring rescue wherein her husband had been holding her and
their sons’ hostage in some domestic dispute.
“You made all the arrangements for us to move here--you and
Clay.” She sighed. “And I’m forever grateful.”
Grateful? Oh hell, he’d really gotten it wrong. He tossed her a
quick glance, not wanting to let her see his disappointment. Hank had secretly fallen in love with her the first time they’d met in college.
