Twins For The Bull Rider. April Arrington

СКАЧАТЬ Logan’s hand as it pulled a brush through the horse’s hair with whispering sweeps.

      “Sure.” Pop retrieved an apple from a bucket. He handed it to Kayden and motioned toward a horse lingering nearby. “That one’s named Oreo. Call him.”

      “Come on, Oreo,” Kayden urged, holding out the red apple.

      “Gentle,” Dominic said. He lifted Kayden higher on the fence. “Stretch your arm out a bit farther. And hold your hand as flat as you can.”

      “What if he’s not hungry?”

      “Don’t worry. Oreo never turns down a treat. He’ll come when he’s ready. You just have to be patient.”

      The large horse moved with ease toward Kayden’s arm. Spots of midnight black and creamy white covered the horse’s sleek muscles. Oreo dipped his broad head and nuzzled Kayden’s hand with his nose, tugging on the apple with his teeth and chomping off a generous bite. Kayden dissolved into a fit of giggles.

      “Oreo likes it,” Jayden announced, promptly scooting closer to Dominic to lean over the fence, as well.

      The boys’ eyes sparkled and their faces flushed. Cissy smiled. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d seen them this excited over anything. Of course, Crystal’s illness had cast thick shadows over them for so long.

      But watching them now, they seemed like their old selves for the first time in forever. Their laughter was genuine. Their comfort obvious.

      Cissy closed her eyes and dropped her head back, enjoying the peaceful moment. The sun’s heat poured into her muscles and her body relaxed on a deep exhale.

      This was her promise to Crystal. Providing the boys with full bellies and the comfort of a permanent home. A life free of poverty and displacement. Something she and Crystal had never known growing up.

      A buzzing in her pocket shot vibrations down her thigh. Cissy snatched the cell phone out, her fingers fumbling to keep it from falling to the ground. Here we go.

      “Aunt Cissy, come look at this,” Kayden called.

      Pop had taken over with the boys and laughed with them as Oreo nuzzled their palms.

      “In a minute,” she hastened, shrugging as Dominic twisted to survey her. “I have to take this.”

      Spinning, she moved a few steps away and pressed the phone to her ear.

      “Jason.” It was impossible to drudge up a more polite greeting than that.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
