    0

    0
    0
  • Josh vaulted the fence and raced up the hill, only to stop in surprise as Alex emerged from the trees riding a horse colored enough like Ed to be his twin.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • What she needed was a little of that stuff she had been pitching at Josh... trust.

    0
    0
  • Under the circumstances, Carmen didn't want to drive Alex's truck, so she accepted Josh and Lori's invitation to ride with them.

    0
    0
  • Josh took a sip of his drink.

    0
    0
  • Josh eyed Carmen skeptically.

    0
    0
  • So why had he challenged Josh?

    0
    0
  • Because he thought she and Josh were discussing their engagement, not Lori and Josh.

    0
    0
  • His voice faded off as he realized that Lori and Josh were sitting at the opposite end of the table from Carmen.

    0
    0
  • I didn't know you thought Josh and I were engaged.

    0
    0
  • I believe this dinner is for Josh and Lori.

    0
    0
  • Had he seen Josh pick her up?

    0
    0
  • And when I came out of those trees, I thought the worst too... when I saw you and Josh together.

    0
    0
  • You were afraid I would drop you and marry Josh.

    0
    0
  • Last, but not least, was Josh.

    0
    0
  • From the expression on Lori's face at those times, she didn't think the romance was over either – at least not for Josh.

    0
    0
  • Even Josh couldn't contain a chuckle.

    0
    0

    0
  • Paul shook his hand, but Josh suddenly found interest in the dust on his boots.

    0
  • Josh took the sandwiches.

    0
    0
  • She was sure stubborn about the goats with Josh.

    0
    0
  • That's because Josh gave her an ultimatum... him or the goats.

    0
    0
  • I think that was the only reason she and Josh became an item.

    0
    0
  • I knew she didn't really love Josh, but I didn't know how to tell them – or even if I should.

    0
    0
  • Josh was so jealous.

    0
    0
  • If Josh admired him, he certainly hid it well.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • In actually, she was accepted because she was Josh's wife.

    0
    0
  • Josh had saved her life on more than one occasion.

    0
    0
  • Maybe that was why Josh had never shown much interest in her then.

    0
    0
  • Still, even knowing that Lori was interested in Josh, it was hard to imagine that she wasn't attracted to Alex.

    0
    0
  • Even Josh had said something to indicate a relationship between the two of them existed.

    0
    0
  • But again, if that were the most important issue, she should have married Josh.

    0
    0
  • What did Josh want?

    0
    0
  • Josh said something to upset you, didn't he?

    0
    0
  • That idea hadn't troubled her with Josh – possibly because she had never thought of them as a married couple?

    0
    0
  • First there had been her father and then Josh.

    0
    0
  • Maintaining a relationship with Josh was exhausting enough.

    0
    0

  • Josh was glowering at her.

    0
    0
  • Josh stared at her swim suit, his expression swinging back and fourth from surprise to embarrassment.

    0
    0
  • Why is Josh calling you, and what's he bothering you about?

    0
    0
  • Josh was the last person on earth she wanted to talk to right now.

    0
    0
  • Footsteps sounded behind her and she whirled, half expecting to see Josh.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Josh was the only one who ever understood.

    0
    0
  • I don't compare you to Josh.

    0
    0
  • What did Josh want this time?

    0
    0
  • Josh slid out of his truck and glanced down at the old house.

    0
    0
  • In fact, he never liked Josh too well - but what man does like a boy who is going to take his little girl away?

    0
    0
  • For some reason, Dad simply didn't care for Josh... never did.

    0
    0
  • Or maybe he knew his little girl wasn't really in love with Josh.

    0
    0
  • Josh shifted from one foot to another.

    0
    0
  • I didn't give up anything, Josh.

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Did Josh tell him?

    0
    0
  • His house was built on a tree-covered knoll overlooking her farm, but part of Josh's land was visible from their porch.

    0

    0
  • Lori and Josh's relationship was the one in trouble.

    0
    0
  • I never had torrid thoughts about Josh.

    0

    0
    0
  • He thought Josh was a superb farmer.

    0
    0
  • As she turned to leave the barn, Josh stepped through the door.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Josh, this is between you and Lori.

    0
    0
  • Josh took her by the arm and leaned down, brushing her lips with his before she realized his intent.

    0
    0
  • Leave me alone, Josh.

    0
    0
  • As she surged forward to get away from Josh, a ripping sound followed her.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Josh was instantly beside her, grabbing her arm and twisting her to face him.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Josh relaxed his grip and she jerked her arm free.

    0
    0
  • Josh remained sitting in the hay, staring at her as if confused by her response.

    0
    0
  • Josh stood and brushed his clothing off, watching her warily as he stepped around her.

    0
    0
  • Josh doesn't drink, so I'm sure that was all it took.

    0
    0
  • Did he talk to Josh yet, or was that what he was doing now?

    0
    0
  • The idea of what Josh might do made her stomach contract.

    0
    0
  • Alex thought he could handle Josh.

    0
    0
  • Alex had been no match for Josh there in her kitchen, but he had certainly done well for himself.

    0
    0
  • And then again weeks later when Josh had caught them kissing in the barn.

    0
    0
  • Both times Josh had walked away without harming Alex.

    0
    0
  • But Josh had not been motivated enough to hurt him.

    0
    0
  • Now Alex was only days away from assuming the role Josh had always considered his.

    0
    0
  • Josh was married to Lori now, but he was territorial.

    0
    0
  • If Alex tried to tell him what to do, Josh might lose his temper.

    0
    0
  • It crossed her mind to call him, but if he was with Josh, that might be a trigger.

    0
    0
  • On the other hand, maybe he decided not to talk to Josh.

    0
    0
  • Did you talk to Josh?

    0
    0
  • Josh said he wouldn't come around me until after the wedding, didn't he?

    0
    0
  • Any time Alex didn't mind when she brought up Josh, it left her a little nervous.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • I was NOT engaged to Josh!

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • The Sycamore tree that had fallen on it had been removed by Josh, Bill, Alex and Mr. Reynolds using a chain saw and good old-fashioned elbow grease.

    0
    0
  • She and Josh had discovered a different route.

    0
    0
  • As far as she knew, only she, Josh and Dad had been there.

    0
    0
  • As for Josh, he's still hoping you'll change your mind.

    0
    0
  • Josh wouldn't do that to Lori.

    0
    0
  • Somehow it seemed that Josh knew her concern.

    0
    0
  • Josh was in his field digging fence post holes when she passed.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Josh was watching her with a strange expression.

    0
    0
  • Josh squatted beside her, eyeing the pond with a sour expression.

    0
    0
  • Josh was watching her, waiting for an answer.

    0
    0
  • I don't think I'm the one you should ask about that, Josh.

    0
  • Alex wants a baby, Josh.

    0
    0
  • This is something really important, Josh.

    0
    0
  • There never was an us, Josh.

    0
    0
  • Josh walked away, shaking his head.

    0
    0
  • Josh couldn't claim he didn't know before he married her – or became involved with her, for that matter.

    0
    0
  • How did he know Josh had been there?

    0
    0
  • For Lori and Josh, they were like building blocks being torn down.

    0
    0
  • Did Josh and Lori actually love each other?

    0
    0
  • Hopefully it wouldn't involve Josh – or Lori, for that matter.

    0
    0
  • Yet, if his interest in her was fading, surely he wouldn't be so concerned about Josh.

    0
    0
  • She was reaching for her phone when she saw Josh coming up the hill.

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Josh continued to watch her.

    0
    0
  • Brutus growled again and Josh took her by the arm.

    0
    0
  • She wasn't supposed to be up here alone and it probably wouldn't make Alex feel any better to know Josh had been here with her.

    0
    0
  • Somehow she needed to get Alex to check this out – without telling him she or Josh had been here.

    0
    0
  • Alex was followed by Bill and then Josh.

    0
    0
  • So Josh had informed Alex about the situation.

    0
    0
  • The men gathered at the spot where she and Josh had seen the deer carcass and appeared to be discussing something.

    0
    0

    0
  • Josh saw me running after Brutus and came over to see what was wrong.

    0
    0
  • Brutus started growling at it and Josh said we should go back.

    0
    0
  • Apparently Josh hadn't told him she was there after all.

    0
    0
  • Still, Josh must have said something or Alex wouldn't have been there with his gun.

    0
    0
  • She hadn't said anything to give Josh the idea that Alex would be upset.

    0
    0
  • Josh was right – partly.

    0
    0
  • But Josh might tell him.

    0
    0
  • It would be better if she told him before Josh did.

    0
    0
  • She gasped with surprise and looked up to find Josh standing at the gate watching her with a strange expression.

    0
    0
  • Josh wasn't likely to be back before Alex returned.

    0
    0
  • Maybe he saw Josh drive away.

    0
    0
  • Maybe he thought Josh saw her breasts exposed like that.

    0
    0
  • Josh eyed them sourly.

    0
    0
  • What do you need, Josh?

    0
    0
  • He gently guided Carmen to the side, his gaze never leaving Josh.

    0
    0
  • In his defense, Josh wasn't making it easy.

    0
    0
  • But that wasn't like Josh.

    0
    0
  • In his own way, Josh had asked her if she was happy.

    0
    0
  • Maybe Josh finally gave up what he always assumed would be his.

    0
    0
  • Lori was a good looking woman and there were plenty of men who would whisk her away if Josh didn't treat her right.

    0
    0
  • This threesome with Josh isn't what I expected.

    0
    0
  • Josh didn't drink either, until he married Lori.

    0
    0
  • Josh wanted a baby but Lori didn't.

    0
    0
  • One thing she didn't need today was Josh stirring up trouble.

    0
    0
  • Is that the only reason you called, Josh?

    0
    0
  • Josh was probably right about one thing.

    0
    0
  • Alex had once asked if Josh would be the person she turned to when they were having problems.

    0
    0
  • Josh was the last person she wanted to talk to.

    0
    0
  • He didn't need to know that the other times she had been there with Josh.

    0
    0
  • Then again, after the way Josh acted, maybe she felt safer in jeans.

    0
    0
  • Josh and Lori were fighting most of the time now, and Josh was drinking more.

    0
    0
  • Carmen seemed unaware that Josh still had romantic thoughts about her, but Lori noticed.

    0
    0
  • It was unreasonable of Josh to expect her to keep the marriage together on her own.

    0
    0
  • If what Lori told him was true, Josh made little to no effort.

    0
    0
  • When she left, Josh would probably attempt to recapture Carmen.

    0
    0
  • She insisted that Josh would never cheat on Lori.

    0
    0
  • Where Carmen was concerned, Josh was unpredictable.

    0
    0
  • Aren't you supposed to look at one of Josh's cows this morning?

    0
    0
  • Had Josh said something to upset him again?

    0
    0
  • No, he wouldn't be taking her to lunch to discuss Josh.

    0
    0
  • Bill or Josh would be glad to take care of the animals, and he knew it.

    0
    0
  • She had played in the creek with Lori and Josh, and finally she had met Alex there.

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • The last thing he needed to know was that Josh was there before the sun.

    0
    0
  • Josh snatched the phone from her hand, barking at Alex.

    0
    0
  • For a moment she thought Josh was going to hit her.

    0
    0
  • Why were they talking about Josh and Lori?

    0
    0
  • The old truck was still parked where Josh had left it when he towed it home for her nearly two years ago.

    0
    0
  • That's why Josh was here the night I called, wasn't it?

    0
    0
  • It couldn't be easy for him — and the way Josh answered the phone that night — no wonder he was suspicious.

    0
    0
  • How could Josh have been such a fool?

    0
    0
  • It occurred to her suddenly that Josh knew exactly what Alex would think — that he was getting even with them both.

    0
    0
  • Josh believed, as she did, that the man should be the ultimate decision-maker.

    0
    0
  • But Josh was only interested in what served Josh best.

    0
    0
  • Josh wouldn't have done that.

    0
    0
  • Do you think Josh might be abusing Lori?

    0
    0
  • At the mention of Josh's name, his eyes veiled over.

    0
    0
  • Only once had Josh actually hit her, and Alex had been there.

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Did he actually think she would like it if Josh touched her?

    0
    0
  • Like when Lori and Josh would come over and they would all go swimming.

    0
    0
  • Josh was different then — loving and protective.

    0
    0
  • Even if she were still interested in Josh, she would never cheat on Alex — nor was it likely that Josh would cheat on Lori.

    0
    0
  • If only she could talk to Josh.

    0
    0
  • He wanted to say Josh.

    0
    0
  • He still thought the baby belonged to Josh.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Unstable as he was, it didn't take much to send Josh down the porch steps.

    0
    0
  • What's the matter, Josh?

    0
    0
  • Josh stared at him.

    0
    0
  • Josh dismissed him, starting for the porch again.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Josh darted for Alex and he threw the keys into the hedge row.

    0
    0
