A Father's Stake
“Grace thought he wanted to be rid of her? She couldn’t be more off base, but he wasn’t about to explain that to her. He just needed to get away because of himself. To sort out what he wanted.
“No,” he said truthfully, then proceeded to lie to her. “I forgot I have an appointment, and it’s easier to get you to your place, than the big ranch.”
She considered that, her lavender eyes intent on him. “Really?”
He forced himself to nod. “Really.”
But she didn’t let it go. “I’m so sorry... about the land, about the mess this has caused. I really am.”
“It’s not your fault and it’s not mine,” he said. “So, don’t be sorry. It is what it is.”
That sounded so final, so awful for some reason. He hated her having to feel apologetic for her father’s actions, as much as he hated feeling that way about his own father.
