I bring a beer to my lips and chuckle darkly. The distance she keeps between us is fuckin’ unreal. My fault. I came in hot seeing her on that ranch today. Not how I wanted our first meeting in almost a year to go. But the second I laid eyes on her, bitterness welled up. Anger over her leaving. Relief at seeing that she was okay. The clusterfuck of emotions meant I came out swinging. And so did she.
