“Honey, you love him, and I’d bet money that he feels the same way, but you have to fight. Make him see what it means to you.”
“Grandma, it won’t matter.”
“I cannot believe that an O’Brien would back down from a challenge. I didn’t, and you shouldn’t. I know how tough O’Brien’s can be. Sometimes you have to fight for what you want. If you want Liam Flynn, then you go after him. Talk to him.”
Siobhan thought about it and then nodded.
“What do I have to lose?”
“Not a thing. If it doesn’t change, then move on. I know that’s hard, honey, but we have to make sacrifices in life. Go talk to him. Today.”
“I don’t know how to find him.”
“I’m sure someone on the ranch would know where he is.”
“You’re right. Okay. I’ll go now. I’ll see you later.” She hugged her grandmother and ran along the sidewalk to get to her vehicle.
Once she drove out of the parking lot, her nerves kicked in. What if he threw her off the ranch?
“Well, then you’d know how he really feels.” She sighed.
She pulled into the Flynn Ranch driveway and stopped at the first barn. She exited the SUV, then entered the barn. No one was around.
“Great. Now what?” She walked out to the other end of the barn but saw no one anywhere.
Striding back into the barn, she walked out the other end and stared at the farmhouse. Did she dare?
“Hell, yes.” She strode across the yard, climbed the steps, took a deep breath, and knocked. It opened almost immediately, and Joanna Flynn stood in the doorway, staring at her with a frown.
“Siobhan, come in. Liam isn’t here right now.”
“Do you know where I can find him? I need to talk with him.”
“I can check the schedule. Have a seat, hon. Would you like something to drink?”
“No, thank you.”
“All right. Just give me a minute. I’ll be right back.” Joanna smiled at her, but all she could do was nod.
When Joanna returned to the kitchen, she held a paper sheet and sat at the bar. She placed the table on the bar and ran her finger along the list.
“He’s in the east pasture, putting up fencing.”
“Was fence down again?”
Joanna smiled. “You’re getting the lingo right, but no. They’re replacing it with new wire.” She stood. “Come here,” she said as she walked to the back door. “See the road on the left of the third barn?”
“Yes.”
“Follow it. It will take you to the pasture. He should be there.”
“Yes, but where there?”
Joanna laughed. “Follow the fence. You should be able to see the newer wire.”
“I understand that, but how do I know which way they’re stringing it?”
“They run it north to south. They’ve been there since this morning, so they’re probably nearly finished.”
