      Casey’s question reeled his thoughts back in. “Do what they want and live together for thirty days,” he said.

      “That’s asking a lot of the two of you. Maybe you ought to seek out the advice of an attorney,” Casey said.

      “We thought of that, but in the end it might only delay things,” he said, and his conversation with Jared last night had only confirmed his suspicions. “Alyssa thinks it will work since she’s able to do her job from anywhere. She’s a website designer.”

      “Um, maybe you can get her to design the website for Uncle Sid’s foundation that we’re setting up,” Casey suggested.

      “I mentioned it to her briefly, and you’re right. It might be something she can do while she’s here if she has the time.”

      “She’ll be at the ranch when McKinnon and I visit in a few weeks,” Casey said as if thinking out loud. “I’m looking forward to meeting her.”

      Casey’s intonation immediately sent up red flags. He knew his sister. After that Chantelle fiasco she had gotten a little overprotective where he was concerned. He found it rather amusing although not necessary. “Don’t forget who’s the oldest, Casey,” he decided to remind her.

      Over the phone line he heard her unladylike snort. “But only by a mere fourteen minutes. I would have been the oldest if it wasn’t for Cole holding me back.”

      Clint laughed. That’s the reason Casey liked telling everyone for her being the last born. She had gotten that tale from Chester, who had convinced her she was in position to be born first. “Whatever. Look, Case, I have a lot of work to do around here today. I’m expecting another shipment of horses,” he said.

      “Wonderful. McKinnon and I will talk with you later to let you know the exact day we’ll be arriving.”

      Moments later Clint ended the call with Casey thinking that she was usually a good judge of character. He wondered what she would think of Alyssa.
