      “I’ve come to take you to the doctor.”

      Slade clenched his jaw. “It’s only a five-minute drive, but I don’t know how long it takes you to do…whatever it is that women need to do to be ready to go out.”

      Laney laughed. He raised a brow, but she only shook her head.

      What had he said that was so funny?

      Women. He’d never understand them, and frankly, he didn’t even want to try. Especially this one.

      If it weren’t for Brody’s baby, he’d be out of there so fast Laney’s head would spin. It was asking a lot just for him to be in the same room with her, but for Brody’s kid, Slade would grit his teeth and try to get through it.

      “I’m a wash-and-wear kind of girl,” she informed him, tossing her hair over her shoulder with an animated flip of her hand, which to Slade felt like a major brush-off. “I’ll be ready in five. And I’m going to ignore the fact that you just tried to order me around again.”

      His gaze widened on her and he hoped he wasn’t gaping.

      “But don’t do it again.”

      “I miss you, buddy.”

      Slade McKenna’s throat burned and he swallowed hard. He shook his head and grunted at his own foolishness. He wasn’t in the habit of talking to those who’d passed on. Thankfully, no one was here to witness the rarity.

      Stirrup-high Texas grass brushed across his boots as he rode the fence line in search of bent posts or breaks in the barbed wire where the Becketts’ cattle might get free. Mending fences kept his mind off the bad stuff.
