chuckled. “You sound just like my wife, Sallie.” He waved and strolled out.
    She stood in the center and looked around. The place needed plenty of work, especially in organizing. She’d start with his desk and work from there. For the first time in many weeks she felt an eagerness to start a project. She practically skipped to his messy desk, then sat and blew out a long breath. What a job, but she was happy to be have something to do. She smiled and started to work.

    “Graham, can we meet for lunch? I have to pick up some items in town and thought it’d give us a chance to talk.” Sam sat on his horse and looked across the pasture.
    “If this is to talk about your love life, I’m no counselor. Rand came to me and filled my ear. I am not going to be the go-to guy for advice,” Graham grumbled.
    “You must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I haven’t heard you grumble since you married Gina.”
    “Her sister is here. I don’t like company. I haven’t changed in that way. But we do need to meet. There’s something I want to tell you. I’ll meet you at Millie’s around noon.” Graham hung up.
    Sam looked at his phone and grinned. He was glad Graham hadn’t changed too much. He liked his brother just the way he was with a few of the rough edges rubbed off by his lovely wife. Sam rode across to his foreman.
    “I’m going into town. I’ll pick up what we need. Is there anything else you want to add to the list?”
    “No, and take your time. It’s good to see you relaxing the reins a bit. I’d begun to think you were never going to trust me enough to give me some responsibility.”
    “I always trusted you.”
    “It didn’t feel that way.”
    “I’ll be damned. I’m learning more about myself every day. Thanks for the input.”
    Sam rode to the barn and headed into the house to change. Grace was arriving late today, and tomorrow they’d start working on his house. He was getting anxious to see it completed. It’d feel strange living alone. He never had before. Even in college, he’d had a roommate.
    After a quick shower and change of clothes, he headed to Millie’s place. Graham had beat him. He stood at the door waiting for Sam’s arrival.
    “Welcome, Sam and Graham,” Millie said. “I always like to see you Brodie brothers. Sam, you don’t come to town often enough.” She led them to a booth.
    “That may change, Millie. My foreman told me I don’t take enough time off.”
    “He’s right. You’re only young once. You’d better take advantage of it like Graham here. He found a nice woman who can actually put up with him. There’s hope for you, Sam. What will it be, coffee or iced tea?”
    “Iced tea for me and one of those great hamburgers,” Sam said.
    “Same for me.”
    “Got it. Be right back with your drinks.”
    Sam leaned back in his seat. “What do we need to talk about?”
    “Sylvia.”
    “Mom’s not anxious to have her return to the house.”
    “Why? Mom always welcomes people.”
    “She’s afraid I’m falling in love with Sylvia, and she doesn’t think we’re a good match.”
    Graham didn’t speak until Millie set their tea glasses down and walked away. He took a long swallow of the sweet tea.
    “She’s right and you know it. I was interested in Sylvia once, but I watched her. Trying to tame her would be like taking a wild horse and trying to break him to the saddle. In the end, he’ll buck you off and hurt you bad. Damn, there I go giving lovelorn advice. Just kill me now.”
    Sam laughed. “You’ve sure been tamed. You were the one brother that I never expected to see fall so hard. Hell, I thought you’d end up a cantankerous old man.”
    Humor lit Graham’s eyes. “So did I, but Gina saved me. There’s something else we need to talk about. Sylvia received a strange call at Mom’s house the same day she moved to our place. The person didn’t identify herself, but Sylvia said it sounded like a
