She smiled. “I guess you’re right.”

Now that Taryn had mentioned it, she could feel the baby.

After several minutes, Beth asked, “How would you feel about moving to New Mexico?”

“Can Pegasus come with me?”

“Of course. Jenna has to stay here, though.”

“She can come visit,” Taryn said, confidently.

The next couple of days were busy. Anna offered to buy the store from Beth. The house was put up for sale and all of their belongings, except for their essentials, were put into storage.

Beth bought a truck and a trailer, which she knew how to drive, thanks to her father. They loaded up Pegasus and headed south.

“Does Dad know we’re coming?” Taryn asked.

“No, I thought we’d surprise him,” Beth said.

“People hate surprises,” Taryn said. Then she gasped. “You were too afraid to tell him.”

“Quit using your telepathy to read my mind.”

“Don’t worry. He’s going to love it when we show up,” Taryn said.

I hope, Beth thought.

Taryn just patted her arm and giggled.

“Isee that you’re not letting the dust settle on your boots,” Micah said.

“Nope. Since the sellers are friends of mine and they know my money is good, I’m moving in before the closing. Of course, I won’t do any repairs or upgrades until the deed is in my hands because I’m not that trusting,” Conner said.

“I see Zephyr loves it,” Micah said, watching the horse galloping across the field.

“Yep. I was afraid that he would miss the rodeo life, but he’s happy.”

“What about you?”

Conner shrugged. “What can I say? I miss Beth and Taryn. I try to call or text them every day, even if it’s just to ask how their days are going. Beth said that her mother is no longer a threat.”

“Are you going to trust that?”

“I trust Beth. But I don’t trust Matilda not to just be lying low. I can’t take the chance. I know that I’m not immortal and I’ll meet my Maker someday, but I would like to make that a later, rather than sooner, meeting.”

“I hear you, Brother,” Micah said. “We both still have a lot of hell-raising left to do.”

“Are you coming over for the twins’ birthday party tomorrow night?”

“I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” Conner replied. “I’m not sure what to get them, though. What does one buy youngins when their father is a billionaire?”

“We don’t spoil them,” Micah said. “Mom tries, and you know that Ronnie and Michelle, do, but Lucy and I try to limit them.”

Ronnie and Michelle were tiger shifters who had helped raise Micah and now took care of his estate.
