“Yes. God, Cam, I’m so miserable without him.”
“I know how you feel.”
“Oh, I’m so sorry. What did you and Dusty decide to do?”
“We’re going to try the long-distance thing. I hope it works.”
“I hope it does for you too. I know Ian wouldn’t go for that.” She huffed. “Mr. Robey told me to take a few days to think about it. I have until Monday. I don’t know what to do.”
Eden blinked back tears as she thought of never seeing Ian again. She loved him so much.
“Oh, girl, you have it bad. This from a woman who didn’t want a blue-collar man but has the hots for a cowboy. What a change.”
“I know, right? I was attracted to him from the start, but in my mind, he was the wrong man.But he made me feel so… right.”
“I hate that you’re hurting. I bet Ian is too. I think he fell hard for you.”
“God, I miss him. I love him. I don’t know what to do,” Eden repeated in a choked voice.
She was sure her heart would never heal from this hurt. She wanted to crawl into a ball and leave the world behind.
Cammie stared at her. “I think you do.”
“We had sex the night before you and I checked out.”
“You did? And you’re just telling me now?”
“It hurt too much to talk about. It was so tender and sweet. Cammie, we both cried.”
“Oh, my God. Eden, you have to go back to him.”
“What if he won’t take me back?”
“He loves you, Eden. Anyone seeing you two together can see that.”
“I need to speak to Mr. Robey.” She stood, walked out of the office, and looked for her boss.

The following Friday, Ian led his horse through the barn after checking the fence, when he saw Devin heading toward him.
“Ian, could I see you in the office?” Devin asked him.
“Uh, sure. Now?”
“Yes, please. Jax and I would like to speak with you.”
“Yes, sir. Let me cool my horse—”
“Chip can do it. Now, please.” Devin turned and walked off then Ian watched as he enteredthe office in the barn.
Shit. Ian didn’t like the sound of this. Why would both of them want to speak with him? About what? He snorted. He knew about what. Apparently, Bonnie reported him. Damn her. He handed his horse off to Chip.
“Is everything okay?” Chip asked him.
“I have no idea. I guess I’ll find out.” Ian walked to the office, opened the door, and entered to see Jaxon in one of the chairs in front of the desk, and Devin behind it. He inclined his head for Ian to take a seat. He swallowed hard as he thought about getting fired.
“Is something wrong?” he asked.
