Josh was living proof.
Behind her, Josh roared his engine as he turn the truck around, and slung gravel on the road as he took off.

Josh pulled his truck through the gate and leaped out, grabbing his shotgun from the rack behind the seat.
Josh grabbed her arm.
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.
My loss is your gain, Josh.
What she needed was a little of that stuff she had been pitching at Josh... trust.
Under the circumstances, Carmen didn't want to drive Alex's truck, so she accepted Josh and Lori's invitation to ride with them.
Carmen frowned at Josh.
Josh took a sip of his drink.
Josh eyed Carmen skeptically.
So why had he challenged Josh?
Because he thought she and Josh were discussing their engagement, not Lori and Josh.
His voice faded off as he realized that Lori and Josh were sitting at the opposite end of the table from Carmen.
I didn't know you thought Josh and I were engaged.
I believe this dinner is for Josh and Lori.
Had he seen Josh pick her up?
And when I came out of those trees, I thought the worst too... when I saw you and Josh together.

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

Josh took the sandwiches.

I knew she didn't really love Josh, but I didn't know how to tell them – or even if I should.
Josh was so jealous.
If Josh admired him, he certainly hid it well.
Josh had only been married to Lori a few months.
In actually, she was accepted because she was Josh's wife.
Carmen was only two years younger than Josh, so it was no surprise that they had become inseparable playmates.
Carmen and Josh had never discussed marriage.
What Josh represented to her at that time was security and family.
Josh had saved her life on more than one occasion.
Maybe that was why Josh had never shown much interest in her then.
Still, even knowing that Lori was interested in Josh, it was hard to imagine that she wasn't attracted to Alex.
Even Josh had said something to indicate a relationship between the two of them existed.
But again, if that were the most important issue, she should have married Josh.
She sucked in her breath quickly and then let it escape in a relieved sigh when she realized it was Josh.
Josh towered over her, gazing down at her with those unreadable gray eyes.
What did Josh want?
Josh said something to upset you, didn't he?
That idea hadn't troubled her with Josh – possibly because she had never thought of them as a married couple?
First there had been her father and then Josh.
Maintaining a relationship with Josh was exhausting enough.
Josh must be working in the field today.
Josh was glowering at her.
Josh stared at her swim suit, his expression swinging back and fourth from surprise to embarrassment.
Why is Josh calling you, and what's he bothering you about?
Josh was the last person on earth she wanted to talk to right now.
Footsteps sounded behind her and she whirled, half expecting to see Josh.
Josh knew she was afraid of storms, but now he had Lori to think about.
Josh was the only one who ever understood.
I don't compare you to Josh.
What did Josh want this time?
Josh slid out of his truck and glanced down at the old house.
In fact, he never liked Josh too well - but what man does like a boy who is going to take his little girl away?
For some reason, Dad simply didn't care for Josh... never did.
Or maybe he knew his little girl wasn't really in love with Josh.
Josh shifted from one foot to another.
I didn't give up anything, Josh.
I don't love you, Josh.
We are waiting, Josh.
A white truck pulled into the yard but Josh didn't look that way.
Josh dropped his arms and turned away.
Did Alex suspect that Josh was still interested in her, or was he trying to say that she should be sleeping with Alex?
Did Josh tell him?
His house was built on a tree-covered knoll overlooking her farm, but part of Josh's land was visible from their porch.
Josh's house wasn't visible, but it was only about a quarter of a mile from her drive.
Lori and Josh's relationship was the one in trouble.
I never had torrid thoughts about Josh.
Actually, he never liked Josh much.
He thought Josh was a superb farmer.
As she turned to leave the barn, Josh stepped through the door.
He sounded like he had been drinking, but Josh didn't touch liquor.
Josh, this is between you and Lori.
Josh took her by the arm and leaned down, brushing her lips with his before she realized his intent.
Leave me alone, Josh.
As she surged forward to get away from Josh, a ripping sound followed her.
One glance back revealed that Josh was still in pursuit.
Josh was instantly beside her, grabbing her arm and twisting her to face him.
Surely she hadn't saved herself for Alex only to have Josh take her by force.
Josh relaxed his grip and she jerked her arm free.
Josh remained sitting in the hay, staring at her as if confused by her response.
Josh stood and brushed his clothing off, watching her warily as he stepped around her.
Josh doesn't drink, so I'm sure that was all it took.
Did he talk to Josh yet, or was that what he was doing now?
The idea of what Josh might do made her stomach contract.
Alex thought he could handle Josh.
Alex had been no match for Josh there in her kitchen, but he had certainly done well for himself.
And then again weeks later when Josh had caught them kissing in the barn.
Both times Josh had walked away without harming Alex.
But Josh had not been motivated enough to hurt him.
Now Alex was only days away from assuming the role Josh had always considered his.
Josh was married to Lori now, but he was territorial.
If Alex tried to tell him what to do, Josh might lose his temper.
It crossed her mind to call him, but if he was with Josh, that might be a trigger.
On the other hand, maybe he decided not to talk to Josh.
Did you talk to Josh?
Josh said he wouldn't come around me until after the wedding, didn't he?
Any time Alex didn't mind when she brought up Josh, it left her a little nervous.
You were engaged to Josh.
I was NOT engaged to Josh!
Actually, Josh did ask her, but she had never answered.
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.
