The Baby Race
“Though the gravel path glistened with puddles and water dripped from every surface, the barn and corrals were solid and well maintained. A neat white cottage sat next to the barn, but Race had told her it was the caretaker's house. The main house sat out of sight further back from the road.
Race had stopped at the barn so he could check on a horse. The minute the truck stopped, he'd disappeared.
If Claire had any doubts about his priorities, they were now gone.
With Race, his horses came first....
"Claire!" Bobbie Sue burst out of the barn into Claire's arms. "I missed you." "Missed you, too." Claire hugged the little girl, and then let her go as she wiggled free.
"Are you really married now? Mrs. Reed says since Race is her stepson and he's my sort of father, she's my sort of grandma now." The words bubbled out of the little girl faster than Claire could comprehend or answer. "You've got to see the horses. They are just so cool." Bobbie Sue grabbed Claire's hand and tugged her toward the barn.MoreLess
