“Only if you think it’s true,” I said shyly. He burst out laughing. “Hey, why are you laughing?”
“Because that’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard.”
“What is?”
“That I should only call you beautiful if I think it’s true. Arya, you crazy girl, you’re the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen in my life. Hands down.”
“You’re just saying that.” I could feel myself blushing.
“Trust me,” he said softly, “I don’t ‘just say’ anything.” We stared at each other for a few seconds.
Chet thought I was gorgeous. He thought I was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen in his life. I didn’t believe him, of course. He had to have seen much more beautiful women than me, but his words made me feel warm inside and special and…
“So I was thinking,” I said quickly, wanting to change the subject. “Have you ever heard of goat yoga?”
“Can’t say that I have. Why?”
“I was thinking, if this was going to be a resort and you really wanted to attract people and bring in large crowds, maybe you could have goat yoga. I noticed that near the stables, there was a barn you weren’t really using, and it has a really cool view of the mountains and the forest. And I was just thinking, how cool would it be to…” I stopped. “Sorry, I’m talking too fast, aren’t I?”
“No, continue.”
“Well, I was just thinking perhaps that could be like a yoga room, an outside yoga room. And if you had goats, well, that would just make it even more special. That would really bring in the crowds. I hear millennials love goat yoga. They’d spend a shit ton of money and…”
“And we need a shit ton of money.” He grinned. “That’s a great idea. Thank you, Arya.”
I blushed at his compliment. “I just want to help.”
“So you’re really into yoga, huh?”
“I mean, I enjoy it. It helps me relax and it makes me more flexible.”
“Flexible?” He raised an eyebrow and took step towards me. “Exactly how much more flexible?”
“I don’t know an exact percentage.” I took a step back. He was starting to come a little bit closer.
“So, maybe I’ll suggest it to the family when we get back.”
“Okay. Sounds good.”
“And maybe…” he paused.
“Yeah?”
“You could teach the class.”
“What? What do you mean?”
“We’re going to need a yoga instructor to teach the class, right? And if you know yoga that well, you could do it.”
“Oh, but I’ve never taught before.”
“Would you like to teach though, Arya?” he said.
“You’re just saying that because you feel bad I don’t have a job,” I said.
“Trust me, that’s not why I’m saying it. This is for the business. You want to help Horseshoe Ranch, right?”
“Of course, I want to help Horseshoe Ranch. I want to help all of you. I…” I took a deep breath. “I’d have to get certified if I were going to teach the class. I wouldn’t feel right until I got certified.”
