44. The Corbins

SADIE

“Oh, my God!” I peeked my head out of the window of a running SUV. I always dreamed of living on a farm full of cattle, horses, sheep and having freshly gathered eggs from the chicken coop for breakfast. “This is awesome! Marry me, Beck!”

“You didn’t just say that while you’re beside your husband.”

“Wow! This is vast.” I ignored Cenric just spanked my butt.

“200 hundred acres,” Beck said proudly. He was sitting on the passenger’s seat while he let Devin drive.

It was a fantastic trip. We chatted and played scrabbles, and I never won while my husband was on his laptop the entire trip.

Beck was full of surprises. He was kind of chatty and had won all the time when not on the clock. He was smarter than any of us, I guess.

“Nice house, bro,” Devin commented as we entered the iron-wrought gate. The two-story ranch-style house with a devoted patio came to view.

“Thanks. Been for Corbin for generations.”
