Small, unnoticeable amounts. Transfers from his personal accounts that looked like household expenses. Later, once she had the password he had given her one drunken night while she rode him slowly and asked questions against his ear, she moved money from the mayoral accounts too. Never enough to trigger an audit. Always under the line of what anyone would notice. The money went into accounts under names that did not exist, layered behind privacy services she had researched hours after he fell asleep. He tracked the allowance card she used, making sure she only ever used it for shopping trips and little treats and nothing he would consider dubious or out of line. But what he didn’t know was her shopping trips ended with returns before she ever left the stores. She always asked for cash. She always made sure to tip the clerks well after. Before she left the house,

“I wasn’t ready.” The admission was barely above a whisper. “I’ve been building my pottery business. I started posting while I was still in Greyfen, but I only began taking real orders after the divorce. It’s… it’s actually working.”She pulled her phone from the small bag on the seat beside her and opened Instagram. Dominic leaned in. Hundreds of thousands of followers. A steady stream of orders in the DMs. Photograph after photograph of delicate pottery pieces, all of them beautiful in the same fragile way she was. He scrolled slowly, pride swelling so hard in his chest it almost hurt.He pressed his mouth to her fingers again, lingering. “These are incredible. You’re incredible.”She blushed under the praise, but her eyes stayed on his face. “What about you, Dom? What have you been up to?” She reached across the table and gently touched the dark circles under his eyes. “I can see these. You look exhausted.”He gave a self conscious ha

Sadie closed the distance between them, bucket still swinging from one hand. She stopped a few paces away and tilted her head.“You lost or just staring?”Theo’s mouth opened. Nothing useful came out. Up close she was even more beautiful. Radiant. Freckles covered her entire face and her eyes where so clear. The practical knot of dark hair was already coming loose. He had met models who spent hours trying to look this alive and never managed it.She raised an eyebrow like he might be simple.“I’m looking around,” he finally managed.“Looking around.” She repeated it slowly, then grinned. “Well, you’re standing in the middle of our place, so I guess that checks out. Come on then. I’ll show you.”She didn’t wait for an answer. Just turned and started walking, tossing the next words over her shoulder.“Cows first. They’re the loudest about strangers.”Theo followed because his feet decided for him. Mud pulled at his ruined shoes but he barely noticed.The cows had names. Daisy, Butterc

Sadie Sterling had always been the odd one out.In school the other girls talked about lipstick shades and who had held whose hand behind the bleachers. Sadie talked about the way a calf’s ears twitched when it was about to nurse, or how the alpacas hummed when they were content. She usually went to school with dirt under her nails and hay in her hair and never once minded that she got teased constantly. She had always had strong shoulders from hauling feed sacks and a mouth that blurted whatever came into her head, which didn’t sit well with the girls and especially the boys. So from early on, she was labeled the weird kid.But she never minded because animals never cared that she was weird. Nature never judged her when she sometimes forgot there were other people in the room when a new litter of rabbits needed its naming ceremony.Until that afternoon when the black sports car appeared at the end of the drive and a man stepped out looking like he had taken a wrong turn somewhere b

The next day found Theo already in the barn doorway, watching Sadie haul a feed sack like it weighed nothing.He leaned against the post and let his voice drop into the low, teasing register that usually worked on both women and men alike.“You know, most women I know would pay good money for a personal trainer who looks at them the way I’m looking at you right now.”Sadie didn’t even glance up. She sliced the sack open with a m flick of the knife and poured grain into the trough. “Oh really? They’d pay to have someone hover over them while they did nothing?”Theo pushed off the post and followed her to the next stall. “I’m serious. I’ve watched you and the way you work is better than any gym in the city. All that strength… makes a man wonder what else those hands can do.”She snorted, still not looking at him. “They can muck stalls and you should too. You want a shovel?”He tried again while she checked the water buckets. “Or maybe those hands would rather be somewhere warmer.”Sadie
