~ Excerpt ~
She backed a few steps away from him and swiped at her wet cheeks with her sleeve. “I’m not shying away from the blame. Believe me, I carry more guilt and regret than you can ever imagine, every single day of my life. But maybe it’s time you were honest about your part in it. And about Julie’s part. Her actions helped cause that car accident.”
“Go.” It came out like a growl from somewhere deep and raw in Caleb’s chest. She was hacking at bone with her words, excavating pain he’d buried deep for a reason. “This isn’t going to work, you and me. It could never work. You want to leave me something to read about managing wildlife? Fine. But don’t come back here, trying to tell me how to run my ranch. Or how to remember my sister.”
She stared at him, stunned and stricken, and he remembered that look. Because he’d put it there once before, on the night he’d accused her of killing Julie. The night he’d destroyed what was between them. And now, just as they’d been maybe making a few tentative repairs, he’d put it there again.
But last time, she’d turned and run out of the room. This time she held her ground. “There you go again. Laying all the blame on me. Well, you know what? Blame me for the weather, for the mountain lions, for whatever you want, because there is one thing different from the last time you treated me this way. This time, I don’t care.”
She turned so quickly, dust rose from the path beneath her feet.
Caleb watched her walk away, across the field, past the barn, until she was just a speck getting into her truck and driving away. Good. They were fools to think that they could be around each other at all. She’d shown up here, unwelcome. She’d brought up the accident and so much he didn’t want to think about.
As he started up the path, he saw Hobo sitting just a couple of yards away, staring at him reproachfully. “What?” He faced off with the animal as if it could speak.
But Hobo didn’t need words. He just turned and stalked away, paws lifting high, as if the very ground that Caleb owned disgusted him.
Shamed by a cat. Shamed because he’d had a chance to do the right thing. To give Maya the apology he’d owed her for years now. But instead he’d made it all much, much worse.
