   "10 hours later I arrived at the ranch. I said hello to my Mom. I hadn't seen her since spring break but it wasn't time to socialize. I wasn't able to get off work the day before so the boys were already down at the corral with the cows. I had been up for close to 24 hours at this point but there was work to be done. As we got the bulk of the herd finished, I started snapping pictures of the boys wrestling calves, tagging them and giving them their shots. When we were finished it was time to gather the kids up. We played ball with the kids while mom finished up dinner. We sat around catching up and playing games and I posted the photos from the day.Finally I snuck off to get a shower and hopefully fall into blissful sleep.

   Just as I was about to step into a steamy shower that was probably too hot but I didn't care, because my body craved the heat, DING! Almost crying because I needed the shower to relax my tired overworked body I grabbed my phone. I thought it was one of my brothers needing something for one of my kids. It was Keith. I am so confused by him and I open the message.

   "Glad you made it, it is beautiful there. When are you coming back?"

Who is this guy? Why is he questioning me? Why does he care? We don't know each other, we have spoken 1 time face to face. I just stare at the message brooding but I'm too tired to be rude so I just answer.

   "We arrived around 10am but have been busy since. No rest for the weary, it was a good hard day. We are leaving early Sunday morning." I waited for a response but it never came. I jumped in the shower and scrubbed my body clean and fell into a fitful sleep dreaming of a frustrating man I could never have.

Saturday consisted of checking fence, bailing and hauling hay, and going to the sale barn to buy a few more heifers to add to the herd. That night we sat down and had a huge Thanksgiving dinner. I posted more pictures. Keith immediately liked them all. My stomach fluttered knowing he was watching me through F******k, but then I chastised myself for feeling that way because he belonged to someone else.

   I woke the kids early Sunday morning. I gathered our stuff making sure we had everything. The kids were saying goodbye to my mom. DING! my phone alerted me to another message. It was Keith. "Be careful coming home," was all it said. Figuring he wouldn't respond anyways I left the message on read. I got the kids in the car said a final goodbye and we headed home.

    "Hello my name is Becky, I am the head nurse on shift tonight. I was told you were requesting a supervisor. May I ask what has happened and how we can make this right?" The new nurse asks in a friendly voice. Keith relays everything I have just told him. "May I ask your relationship to Ms. Knight sir?" she asks him. "This is my future wife." He tells her without hesitation. "I see, first let me apologize for the treatment you have recieved here tonight Ms. Knight. If you don't mind I will go look at the previous notes of your blood pressure since check-in to verify your blood pressure history. I will return with pain medication for you if you have been consistent." She tells me. I just nod my head. Not even 5 minutes later Becky was back in the room. "I am very sorry for the delay in your comfort Ms. Knight. Do you think you can manage sitting up for me, so I can give you this medication? Please drink this water slowly, you aren't supposed to have liquid before you

    "What the hell are you doing here!?" I ask him. "I called Marie to see if I could come hang out and she told me you were having emergency surgery. I was worried about you and wanted to be here for you." he says. "Marie shouldn't have told you anything! That is a HIPPA violation and I do not need or want you here. I don't need or want you any where around me ever. The only thing I need you to do is help take care of your daughter and you refuse to have anything to do with her unless I am there. Take now for example, instead of going and helping Marie with our daughter you are here harrassing me. If I need you in any way I have your phone number, and I am 100% positive I did not call or text you to come here. You need to leave!" I tell him. "I still care about you, and this is how you treat me? This is what I get for trying to be nice to you! You are still just a stupid fucking cunt! I bet you are fucking everyone at the casino!" He yells at me. I pick up my bedside remo

    Keith and I fell into a routine over the next couple of weeks. We made sure to see eachother regularly. We made time to spend with my kids, and spoke on the phone regularly. I paid Marie to watch the kids so I could work and get some rest. Kaye's dad moved out of his house and into another house with his girlfriend. He found out we were staying with Marie and started coming to help with Kaye. He wasn't really helping though. He was trying to hook up with Marie. When she turned him down he would try to crawl in bed with me. I was still turning him down. One day I woke up to my phone ringing. It was Keith. "Hey baby! I left again!" Keith says as soon as I answer. "Wait, What?" I ask him confused trying to wipe the fog from my head and understand what he had just said to me. "I left, the kids sat us down and said that now that they knew we were having problems they could see how unhappy we

    I wait for my brother to answer his phone. " Hey James, how are you?" "To be honest I am not doing good. I was about to call you actually." he says. "Ok well you go first. What's wrong?" I ask him. "My wife just kicked me out. I am sleeping in my truck at the yard." he confides. "What the fuck? Why?" I ask. "I found out she has been having an affair. I asked her about it and she told me I needed to leave. I wasn't going to fight with her so I just left. Do you think I can come stay with you until I get paid and find a place?" he asks. "I am staying with my friend right now. I will ask her but I am sure she won't want you sleeping in your truck." I tell him. "Is it your hot friend who tagged you in a photo of you both?" he asks laughing. "You might be kicked out but you are still married, please don'

    Keith made love to me several more times before the sun came back up the next day. The kids went to school and we loaded Kaye up to go to the security suite with Keith so he could turn his uniform in and let them know what was going on. We went to grab lunch and he dropped Kaye and I off at the apartment and we spent the rest of our time before he had to leave for his meeting in each others arms. Keith gave me one last kiss. Something in my gut felt wrong. We had just had the best night together and spent the day together like we had been together for years. Why was I feeling this way. About 9 o clock that evening I got a meesage from Keith. "Give me your phone number, I need to call you." he sent. "Is everything ok?" I ask

    Karen got home and we all sat down in the living room. Kaye climbed up into Keith's lap. I sat next to him. Karson and Kammy sat on the couch across from us. Karson was looking between Keith and myself. "Karson do you have any questions?" I ask him because I can see the questions in his eyes. "How do you know Keith?" He asks "I work with Keith. He is in security with me and Karen. Mommy has been speaking with him for a couple months now. We like each other a whole lot and he wants to help us get a place with him." I tell him. I know it is happening really soon but I hope Karson can understand. "Is he the reason we moved here and you are happier?" Kammy asks next. Karson nodding his head in
