Denver.
“I think he might actually like her.”
Boone.
I ignored them all and continued to stare at the woman who was slowly chipping away at my heart.
“I would say, if anyone is my knight in shining armor, it would be Denver. Since he’s the one who got the call. Not you,” Constance pointed out.
Denver had the good fucking sense to keep his mouth shut.
My smile was freakin’ huge on my face. “Oh yeah?”
“Yeah.” She angrily crossed her arms over her chest. “Are you going to move them or what? I have somewhere to be.”
God, I loved her.
I fucking loved her.
I had to be fucking crazy for falling for her so damn quick. Not because she wasn’t exponentially lovable, but because I wasn’t someone who should be falling in love.
“I guess since I’m not your knight in shining armor, maybe I should let Denver do it,” I continued to tease her.
Constance’s eyes blazed. “You have to the count of three… One.”
My brows rose.
“Two.”
My stupid smile was hurting my face.
“Two and a half…”
She leaned down and caught the hose hanging on the fence.
“Two and three-quarters.” She started to press down on the nozzle.
“Children.”
I looked to the side to see Janet standing there nearly laughing with amusement.
“Yes, ma’am?”
“Get going, please. Wendy’s going to be worried if Constance doesn’t show.”
She had a good point.
And I didn’t want to traumatize Wendy after the day that she’d had yesterday.
I’d known that Constance would send her. Not because she wanted to, but because Wendy wouldn’t allow her not to send her.
That was why I’d asked another one of the prospects to sit at the school this morning.
I crouched down and gently moved the dogs out of the way of the gate.
The gate opened and Constance stormed off, stomping across the yard in rubber boots that were too big for her.
I started to follow her, but Janet caught my sleeve. “Leave her be. She’s frustrated and had a bad morning.”
