“You think?”

“Definitely.”

Bo was already inside when Windsor returned from the meadow scene. He had had the morning off filming and was handling ranch business.

“Hey, how’d it go?” he asked as she came into the kitchen. He loved how she came straight into his arms. He pressed a kiss to her lips. “You look cute with your hair like that.”

“You’re into 1850s coiffure?”

“I’m into you.” He loved that he could say things like that and she didn’t run for the hills or look for the nearest exit. It was a relief and a gift, all wrapped in one.

“And Eph is into Lyric. At least, that’s the prevailing theory.”

“Wait. What?”

“And Lyric’s crushing on him too.”

“You’re serious?”

She nodded. “Yep. And Sylvia reminded me Lyric’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. I need to get a gift ASAP so it appears that I remembered—which I did because Sylvia just reminded me—and arrange for a cake. Oh, and we’re taking her out. Except Eph had already said he wanted to show her the Thompson Falls nightlife, which brings me back around to my first point.”

“Okay …” Bo repeated some of what she had said in his mind before speaking. “My foreman might be into your assistant, we’re all going out on Thursday night, and we need a gift and a cake, stat.”

Marta walked into the kitchen with her trademark perfect timing. “Who do we need a gift and cake for?”

Bo’s other new favorite thing was how Windsor didn’t pull away immediately when someone walked in on them.

She turned in his arms. “Lyric. It’s her birthday the day after tomorrow.”

“Thursday,” Bo added.

“What does she like?”

“Chocolate. She loves chocolate.”

“Consider it done.”

“You’re the best, Marta. Thank you,” Win said.

Bo brushed another kiss over her 1850s hairstyle before dropping one arm. “That leaves a gift.”

“There’s Jackie’s and Rustic Montana … oh, and flowers,” Marta said. “The girl needs flowers. What if we make her a gift basket of locally made items and some of that touristy stuff, like mugs and magnets, so she never forgets Thompson Falls?”

“Yes, to flowers. Absolutely. Balloons, too, if they have them. And she buys magnets and mugs everywhere we go. She hasn’t had time to hit the souvenir store yet either.”

“I’ll take care of everything, if you’re comfortable with that. I love birthday shopping. Spoiling people is my most favorite thing.”

“I would love to do it myself, but …”

“Oh, honey, don’t you worry. You’re busy. As long as it’s done with love, that’s all that matters, right?”

“And you’ve got my credit card,” Bo said. “Go wild. Make it a birthday to remember. From both of us. That girl is a lifesaver.”

Windsor turned to him. “You sure?”

“She takes care of you. She gets the best damn birthday we can give her.”

Her smile was brilliant.
