Bonus Epilogue:


Holt


A few days have passed since I last spoke to Waylon, but I have three missed calls from him already this morning. It's not like the man to be so unsure of himself. Usually, he's the first to bark orders.


"Hey man, what's going on?" I take a sip of coffee, loosening the gravel in my throat from overnight.


"Sorry to bother you," he sucks in a deep breath and I hear the horses in the background clomping and huffing. "I'm all fucked up about this thing with Penny and I needed to get it off my chest. The horses aren't much help these days." He chuckles, but I hear the strain in his tone.

"Ah, I think I just fucked something up with Waylon."


Ann sits on my lap and rings her arm around my shoulders. Grinning, she says, "What now?"


Locking my fingers with hers, I suck in a deep breath, "I might have implied he should stop thinking about that girl... the one he keeps asking advice about."


She smacks me playfully on the chest, "Why would you go and do a thing like that? it's none of our business what he does."


"Well, I thought he wanted my hones
