Page 77 of Her Cowboy Blind Date

“Yeah, but after Miley’s performance tonight, I’m glad she dumped me.”

“She’s a piece of work.”

“But she’s in the past. We had a difficult conversation after you left. I can guarantee she’ll avoid us.”

“That’s a relief. I don’t want Pete and Emma’s wedding ruined by unnecessary drama.”

“Agreed. Let’s go back inside and have dessert.”

“A fabulous idea.” She walked with Sam back to the courtyard and inside the reception room as the servers were carrying dessert trays to the tables. Perfect timing.

Becky was determined to put the Miley situation out of her mind. She was confident Sam would understand how and why she’d gotten caught up in the Jarrod mess. She prayed the rest of the wedding would be uneventful.

CHAPTER 15

Becky stifled a yawn and answered the video call from her family. Six in the morning on Easter Sunday was too early. She stretched out in her chair, planning to squeeze in a walk and breakfast before Sam drove her to church.

“Hey, lil sis.” Mel’s smiling face filled the screen. “You look wrecked.”

“Thanks, and Happy Easter to you. How was dinner?”

“Good. Zach and Billie are here. Kelly’s still away.”

“What’s happening with her?”

“She’s supposed to fly home next week.”

“Okay.” Becky looked forward to catching up with Kelly.

“They’re all cleaning up the dinner dishes. We have time to chat.” Mel switched her phone from speaker to her earbuds. “How was the wedding?”

“Where do I start?” Becky updated Mel on the events of yesterday, including the horrible conversation with Miley.

Mel gasped. “No. Miley sounds like Jarrod’s perfect match.”

“She’s married, and I got the impression she was jealous of my supposed love affair with Logan. She’d probably go for Jarrod as well.”

Mel shook her head. “Didn’t you say she attends your church?”

She nodded. “Sam had a difficult conversation with Miley. It didn’t end well.”

“And you had no idea Miley was like this?”

“Not a clue. I’d seen Miley at church. Said hello a couple of times. Emma, who’s now Miley’s sister-in-law, isn’t a Miley fan.”

“Emma and Pete would have seen Miley dump Sam and start a relationship with Matt.”

“Yeah. Miley cheated on Sam. It was Pete who broke that news to Sam.”

“Awkward. What does this mean for your relationship with Sam? Have you told Sam about Jarrod and the Logan connection?”

“I’m doing that later today, when we have hours in the truck with nothing but boring corn fields for company.”

Mel chuckled. “What’s on your schedule?”

“Church first, then the cast and crew wrap-up party. We’ll arrive at the ranch in time for Sam’s family dinner.”

“Sounds busy,” her sister said.
