all that pretty, and to people outside her family, difficult to understand. One day, she hoped to have someone in her life that she could share all of those unpleasant details with. But until then, she’d keep them close to her chest.
    “Would you mind telling me some of the stories your grandfather shared with you? I’m sure you have legends and myths and things.”
    He had enough time to tell her two short stories before they reached their destination. One about the Thunderbird and the other about the White Buffalo Calf Woman. Isabelle was charmed by them.
    She was even more charmed by the man. He probably didn’t realize it, but his entire demeanor relaxed as he recited the tales. She didn’t think it possible for him to be more handsome than she already found him, but, in those moments, he was.

 
     
     
Chapter Five
     
     
    Wyatt pulled into a gravel drive and parked not far from a large barnlike building.
    “It’s still a little early, so I’m not sure who’s here,” he confessed. “Would you mind waiting while I check at the office?”
    “Sure, go right ahead.”
    Sure enough, he found Sarah in the main office bent over a newspaper with coffee in hand. Every time he saw her, he was struck by how much she resembled Reba McEntire.
    “Good morning,” he called out.
    “Wyatt!” Sarah looked up from her paper. “What are you doing all the way out here?” She got up and greeted him with a hug.
    “I have a couple things I wanted to run by George and get his opinion on. And I brought a friend along to see the buffalo.”
    “You’re welcome to do both.” She pulled him toward the door. “Let’s go meet this friend of yours.”
    With little choice, he let Sarah lead him to the stables as she chatted the whole way. When they got close to the truck he motioned for Isabelle to get out.
    “Isabelle, this is Sarah. She works for George.” Wyatt smiled at Sarah. “Actually, Sarah is the brains of the operation. If anyone needs anything around here, they ask her, not George.”
    Sarah laughed. “That’s because George can’t stand being cooped up in an office.” She nodded at Isabelle. “Just ask him. He’ll tell you the same thing.”
    “It’s nice to meet you,” Isabelle said.
    “George and Mackie are out checking on a calf that tangled with a bobcat or something a couple of nights ago. I’ll unlock the door, so you two can take whatever you need.” She raised a brow at Wyatt. “I assume you’ll want a couple of ATVs?”
    “You remembered.” He’d never been able to ride a horse well. Every time he tried he had either worn himself out trying to control the animal, or he’d gotten thrown. George knew about his ability to shift. It was his theory that horses detected his wolf form, which made them skittish.
    But Isabelle didn’t need to know that.
    They followed Sarah to a large door and waited while she opened the padlock.
    “Everything should still be as you remember it,” Sarah told Wyatt. “Gasoline is on the other side of the barn. Don’t forget to fill them up when you return.”
    “George would never let me live it down if I didn’t put it back the way I found it,” he said.
    “That’s for sure,” Sarah mumbled. “Okay. I’ll leave you to it. But holler if you need anything.”
    “All right. We won’t be out long,” he assured Sarah. “And would you please tell George I need to talk to him?” he shouted after her.
    She gave him a thumbs-up.
    “Do you want an ATV of your own to ride, or would you rather be a passenger?” Wyatt asked Isabelle.
    “Hmmm…. If I ride with you, I can pay more attention to the scenery instead of what I may be running over. But I do like speeding across an open area on one of these bad boys.”
    “Tell you what. You ride with me, and I’ll let you drive it on the way back.”
    With a big grin she said, “Now that sounds like a plan.”
    George kept his machines in pristine condition. They picked a model that looked as if it would
