Well, as you probably figured

out, I’m not exactly the best

with people. I tend to say the

wrong things at the wrong

time or not say anything when

I should. Now, don’t take this

the wrong way but, yes, you put

me especially out of sorts.

Jocelyn:

Not sure how to take that

in the right way. Also didn’t

realize I was so scary.

Malachi:

You’re terrifying, woman!

At least to me.

Jocelyn:

Really?

Malachi:

Your beauty alone flusters

me. Just being in your

presence was enough to make

my throat close up and my

tongue forget to work

altogether. Add to that

the mystery of how easily you

fit in at the ranch, like you’d always

been there and always would

be and, well, I became

a complete clot.
