A Maverick's Heart (2016)
“He and the dog had really bonded. As he changed, he heard the fishermen come in amid a lot of good-natured guy talk. After he dressed, he sat by his window, half reading a magazine on raising horses, half watching for Lila to drive in. He’d been thinking a lot more about other jobs he might be able to do after he’d turned down Yoti’s urging without much regret over missing out on rubies.
The minute he saw the Jeep’s lights turn off the highway, he dashed downstairs to the kitchen, where he ...put the teakettle on to heat.
He heard Lila and Rory come inside. They were always caring of guests, so Lila’s tone was hushed. Still, Seth understood she and Rory were having a little tiff before the boy caved and trundled off to bed.
Figuring their argument stemmed around batting practice, Seth prepared for Lila’s verbal combat as she entered the kitchen. However he reeled from her first words.
“Tell me why you filled my son’s head with poppycock about making a million dollars finding rubies or Montana sapphires.”MoreLess
