THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
With Kerry in charge, we have peace and quiet until 6 o'clock and can prepare everything for the BBQ.She yells, "Come on, you fuckers, back here at 6 pm, give us some time to get things ready," She flaps her palms to get everyone off our terrace. As the throng disperses, it's just us, Rory, and our barn. As Kerry pulls me aside, Kiran removes Lucas's dirty travel clothes for him to change into. She cautions, "Sort him out, Darcy; he's behaving strangely."To this, I give a little nod and take a long breath. Sure, I'll have to give him a call. Help me avoid detection as I eliminate him.Kerry agrees, and she and Rory go inside the barn.He smiles mischievously and attempts to approach me, but I stop him with, "Rory." You can't maintain such an appearance here.I'm worried he's a stalker trying to destroy my life since he keeps biting the inside of his cheek. I take my first steps in the direction of his residence. Come on, I tell him, we can't have this conversation in the barn. The s

At 6:30, everyone but Rory showed up. While Kiran prepares the barbecue, I'm keeping Lucas occupied with some bubbles. As I blow bubbles for my giggling kid on the graveled path, Ben and Jonh come to join me. Ben announces, "Hey, we collected that sofa for you."Laughter fills my heart; they are wonderful companions I can always count on. "What would I do without you two? Thanks!" ”Ben responds, "Kiran is concerned that you may revert to your former habits."I gave up, what was he saying, and quit blowing bubbles. That's meant to signify what?" " I inquire.John's head is hung low. He begins, "Well," implying that something is wrong. He is afraid that you may revert to your old ways now that you have had a taste of the nightlife since "back in the day" you were a fairly hard party girl.It's a bit more forceful, "Bull shit," on my part. "He's afraid I'll figure out how fucking bored I am with my existence with him," she said.Do you have boredom?Asked Ben.In all candor, the answer
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER NINETEEN
Rory is sitting on the hay, close to a sleeping horse. When asked, "What gives? " I inquire.When he sees the opportunity, he leaps. God bless you, Jesus. Why are you even here, exactly? After sweeping the hay off his jeans, he gets up from the floor.I'm attempting to put him to sleep, but he wants to see the horse up close because he's so fascinated by them.I was holding Lucas when Rory came up to me and took him. Let me tell you about Gert, my favorite pretty young thing," he adds. He guides Lucas's little hands as he rubs the brown horse in the next stall and smiles softly at him. Then his gaze turns to mine."Stella down there is really cranky at the minute; she's expecting her foal anytime - A classic temperamental woman," he said with a smirk, and I chuckled sarcastically.I reach out my hand and pet the horse alongside Lucas, nudging Rory with my shoulder. So, you have to stay up all night to monitor the laboring woman? ”He smiles and pushes my shoulder back, saying, "All ni

His speed drops down. "My mother resides in Edinburgh; she relocated there after my father went away because she didn't feel comfortable spending another day on the farm without him. My aunt is now housing her.How long had they been married?"They've been married for 40 years because "when they were 20, they met, fell madly in love, and promptly had my sister."Until recently, I had no idea you had a sibling.As a seven-year-old, she succumbed to sepsis.Oh my god, Rory, that's so depressing. Are you a later arrival? ”There is a resounding "yes" from him. They called me their wonder child. They were afraid there wouldn't be anymore.I make light of the situation by saying, "I bet you a right mummy's boy aren't ya," and his blushing confirms my statement.We can hear the chatter and faint music as we approach the barn, and when I turn around, my first sight is of Kerry. They act like a teenage couple as she leans against the wall and smooches Farmer John. As Rory and I share a knowin
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
I walked up to the door and paused. A female companion or his horse?To the extent that you love and care for your animals, it is incredible. No, there was certainly a woman's voice, so he must be with someone.For better hearing, I creep around to the stable's open door. I feel like a fifteen-year-old stalker and despise myself for getting involved with this crap.I don't think I'm suited for a life in agriculture. Therefore I want to return to my engineering career shortly. The words he uses are ones I overhear.She chortles, "It wasn't humorous;.""Rufus, the dog, is like a baby to me, but I adore all animals." The words "he's with Saika" caused my jaw to drop.He is just another single guy to her, but he knows she is one of my closest friends.Oh, what a fucking toad!I want to rush in and pull out his eyes, but I must restrain myself. That's the sad truth of affairs: you're stuck handling all this drama yourself. I couldn't yell and scream; I had to keep it together or lose every
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
When Saika sends me a text message asking what I want to do today, I ignore it. As I go towards the stables while holding Lucas' hand, I put my phone back in my pocket and try not to think about it. We go out into the pasture and pet two horses; one of them is Rory's favorite from the night before, but now I find myself disliking it. To which Lucas replies, "Let's go see this spotty one," as the brown one stands there perplexedly.A bright voice says, "Good morning," It sounds like Rory but with a Scottish accent. I'm shocked and irritated to find Rory standing there. As soon as my grin disappears, he knows something is wrong.To ask, "What's up?" As he approaches me, he asks.While pondering, I give him my whole attention.When do I start playing? Are you acting casually or crazily?As I push by him carrying my baby, I tell him, "Don't speak to me."So, I guess I went with insanity.They hear his loud "Hey" yell. For what it's worth, I'm curious:He's glad I have Lucas to hold onto w

Saika said, "I just couldn't sleep, and I stumbled upon Rory in the stables," when I asked her what had occurred. She stayed with him until the horse began to labor at 2 a.m. She returned to her hut. She continued gushing by telling him how much she admired and believed he felt the same way about her."So you two have no romantic encounters?" To gain further insight, I inquired.After shaking her head, she cracked a grin. No, but he is a gentleman.More than I should have, I roared with laughter. You're supposed to be a gentleman, but you're not. Is there any news on the good-looking Indian guy your folks are rooting for? They probably wouldn't be thrilled if you showed up with a dirty farmer.She shrugs off my remark and looks out the window with a grin. It's fucked up that I have to lie to her and Kiran.We spent a pleasant couple of hours visiting the farm stand in town. Kiran, Ben, and John were all there when we got back. They were drinking on the front patio because the weather

My head trembled in shock; she was incredible. "I had no idea we were meeting for tea." After addressing her directly, I said."Well, we need to eat properly; I could whip up something."I can't refuse your food if you offer it, so thanks. I looked around at the guys who were still tanning. "Hey, listen up! Tonight, Saika will prepare a traditional Indian feast. That should show her what happens when you treat her like a dog in heat. Don't let your ovaries run wild, you freeloading whore.All that tension and hostility has worn me out, so I'm going to leave Kiran in charge of Lucas while I nap. Before I could even finish telling Kerry about curry night, a message came through from Rory.I can't stand it here; let's go to my place and have a chat. Just leave the rear door unlocked.Reluctantly, I enter Rory's backyard through the back gate and announce that I'm out for a stroll. The well-kept garden takes me back to the rose gardens I see in vintage royal films, and it completely takes
