Betting On Grace
“The words had just come tumbling out of his mouth before he could stop them. And now Jerry was staring back at him like he wanted to rip Grant’s head from his body.
Grant respected this man. Respected him as the owner of Dead Heat Ranch, the man who signed his paychecks every week, and as Gracie’s father. He hadn’t wanted it to come to this.
“And you thought, what? Giving in to your father is gonna keep him quiet?”
Yes, that was exactly what he thought. But he didn’t say as much.
“I’m not gonna lie to you and tell you that I understand what’s goin’ on with you and Gracie … and … and Lane. I’m not sure I want to know. But I will tell you that Gracie came to me because she’s scared. And that’s on you, son. You’re the one who has to figure out how to protect her from that fear. Do you think you can do that?”
Grant nodded his head.
“Good. Then get your ass outta here and figure it out before I get mad,” Jerry yelled.
Well, shit. Grant’s feet wouldn’t move, and he knew that was an opportun...ity if he’d ever heard one, but he didn’t know how to walk away.MoreLess
