The Rancher's Prospect (2016)
“A deep frustration had taken hold of him when, for the second time, she’d rushed away from their lovemaking as if nothing had happened. He finally understood why women resented it so much when their partner fell asleep quickly or hurried to get dressed and leave. He’d done it himself, hoping to avoid conversation. Yet he would have enjoyed a little afterglow with Tara.
Still, his frustration didn’t make sense. What else had he expected? He ought to be glad she wasn’t gushing or making assum...ptions. To his old way of thinking, Tara was actually the perfect lover, never seeming to expect a commitment. But he’d been wrong to think that she was cool and emotionless. As Grandpa had said, her eyes told the whole story, provided someone was willing to look hard enough.

His grandfather had decided they should pile their discards near the alluvial deposit where they’d been working, so they could smooth it over again later.MoreLess
