Sarah laughed, pulling out loaf after loaf of pumpkin bread. “Beth showed me the sketch yesterday, so I made enough for everyone to pay,” she air quoted, “for their tattoos.”
Regina sniffed as tears filled her eyes. “I love it. Your mom would be so proud of all of you. I miss her every day, but I’m blessed you guys let me stand in for her.”
Remi cuddled into her sisters and their group hug, thankful they were all together. She’d needed tonight. Sometimes they just hung out and other times they solved each other’s problems or helped the person figure out how to solve them on their own. After talking and laughing with her sisters, she felt lighter and ready to take on anything. She’d enjoy tonight and then they needed to schedule a meeting to figure out who was trying to kill them. It was time to take the fight to them.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Remington stopped theSUV, hiding her smile. It had taken everything for War to not say anything about her driving them on their date. Of course, he had no idea that they were only heading a mile and a half down the road to Clancey’s farm. It had been forever since she’d been to the property but Beth talking about it reminded Remington of the track he had on his property. He used to have dirt track races once a month. Even though he wasn’t actively having races, he’d kept up the track. When she’d walked it earlier today to check for issues, it had been perfect.
War and she needed to spend time together enjoying each other’s company and a little stress relief. She motioned War out of the SUV and walked around to grasp his hand.
“You ready for some fun?”
He twirled her closer, sliding his hand into her hair, claiming her lips. His taste, his touch, had her ignoring everything she planned. A throat clearing had him pulling back.
“War, glad to see you pulled your head out of your ass and saw the perfect woman.”
“Mr. Clancey, it’s good to see you.”
War held his hand out to shake but Mr. Clancey pulled him in tight, slapping his back.
“The side-by-side is stocked and ready to go. Regina dropped off snacks for you and the cooler is in the back. I’ve got the cattle in the center pasture. They won’t care about you all but please make sure the gate is closed securely after you go through. That bull is an instigator and for some reason thinks he needs to enjoy the grass in front of the house.”
Remi walked with War but headed to the passenger side. She wanted this enjoyable, and her man did like to be in control. She’d probably pushed every button he had making him let her drive on the way over. War settled behind the wheel and started the vehicle.
“Where to?”
Remington motioned behind the barn. “Follow the track in the grass until we come to the first fence. We’ll go through the cattle pasture and then follow the creek to cross at the bridge.”
“Dare I ask where we’re going or is this one of those things I’m just supposed to roll with?”
She giggled at his aggrieved tone. “Since I know Regina already mentioned Clancey’s offer to sell, I thought it would be fun to have some snacks, enjoy an evening together and race on the dirt track.”
The smile stretching War’s mouth had her admiring his lips and beard. “I’d forgotten about the dirt track and the races. Roam and I used to sneak over with our bikes when we were younger.”
“Winnie and I used to do the same until we brought Jesse with us. She brought her skateboard even though we told her it wouldn’t work.”
