“Nope, that sounds perfect. Now, I did some checking on flights…”
Gillian smiled. She’d only got off the phone with him less than an hour ago and he’d obviously done his homework. Hopefully, he was just as eager as she was for the two of them to finally get together socially.
“If you can get to Minneapolis, a couple of airlines have direct flights from there to Casper.”
“That shouldn’t be a problem because I know most of the airlines fly from Chicago to the Twin Cities.”
“Then that’s all worked out. So just let me know what time you’ll be arriving and I’ll be at the airport to pick you up.”
“I don’t want to put you out in any way. I mean, I can rent a car like I always do. It’s not as if I don’t know how to get to your ranch from the airport.”
“Hell, no, you’re my guest this time around. So there’s to be no talking business, vaccines, animals. And I have to insist I’m at the airport to greet you too.”
She grinned. This guy made her smile a lot and now she was psyched about her trip to see him.
“Will do. And, Connor, even though I’d love to stand here and talk some more I’ve got to go or I’ll be late for my yoga class.” Gillian looked at her watch. Already too late. It had started ten minutes ago. Never mind, she’d just creep in quietly and hope she didn’t disturb anyone.
“You do yoga?” asked Connor.
“Yep, been coming to this class for over a year now.”
“Just proves there’s so much I don’t know about you. Still, I’ll have lots of time to get caught up when you visit. Hell, maybe you can teach me yoga. I can start a whole new trend here—cowboy yoga.”
Gillian burst out laughing this time. He was such a character.
“I’ll call you tomorrow with the time of my flight,” she told him.
“I’ll be waiting.”
“Oh, and was it a boy or girl?”
“A what?” asked Connor.
“The horse that was in labour.”
“She had a boy about fifteen minutes ago.”
“I can’t wait to see him.”
“You’ll love him. He’s one hell of a fine-looking foal.”

Connor pumped his fist in the air before realising one of his workers was standing directly behind him.
“Someone’s happy and I don’t think it’s just because we have a new horse in the family.”
“You ever have your heart set on a lady for so long that you thought she’d never be yours?” asked Connor.
“Nope, my wife and I were high school sweethearts so she’s always been mine.”
“Then you won’t understand when I tell you that the stars must be lined up right or something because someone I’ve wanted…hell, lusted after for so long is coming to stay with me over Thanksgiving.”
