Page 4 of The Cowboy’s Intriguing Love

Shayna pointed at a profile halfway down the list. “I like the sound of this guy, he sounds … normal, and kind of fun, but who knows what he looks like? He hasn’t posted a photo of himself.”

April leaned in. “Let me see.”

Rather than a photo of himself, this guy had used a photo of a horse wearing a cowboy hat as his profile picture.

April grinned. “I think I know who this is!”

“How?”

April pointed at the hat. “See the brand mark on the hat?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s MacFarland Ranch. I know those guys. I went to school with them. And see his username?”

“Yeah, that put me off a bit. Why would he call himselfBro#5? If he’s one of thosebrotypes, then he’s not my type.”

“No, if this is who I think it is, that’s not what it means. They’re a big family – there are six brothers and two sisters. I think it’s Tyler. He and his twin brother are the youngest, but Kolby got married last year. You should send him a message!”

Shayna shook her head rapidly. “What would I even say?”

“Say hello, tell him that you know me.”

“Then he’d think I was some weirdo creepy stalker to have figured out who he is!”

April made a face. “I guess, but … aww, he’s such a great guy. They all are. Oh my gosh, if you ended up with him, that’d be amazing!”

Shayna blew out a sigh. “Maybe, but that’s hardly likely to happen, is it? Especially since I don’t even know what he looks like.”

April waggled her eyebrows. “You can’t ever tell Eddie that I said this but … hooeee! Those MacFarland boys?” She fanned herself with her hand. “They are hot! Hot with a capital H!”

Shayna laughed. “Maybe, but if he hasn’t posted any photos …”

“That’s why you should message him – ask him to share some with you.”

“No! That’s what all the creepers do. I don’t want to be one of them!”

April blew out a sigh. “Okay. I give up for now, but only because my break’s almost over. I’m going to keep bugging you. I bet you and Ty would be perfect for each other!”

Shayna checked the time on her phone. “Thanks for looking with me, but I have to get going. Would you watch my stuff while I run to the bathroom again? I swear coffee goes straight through me.”

“Of course.”

When she arrived back at the table, April gave her a sly smile, and her heart started to pound.

“What’s that look for? What did you …? Oh my god! You didn’t?”

April nodded happily. “I did! But don’t worry, I told him it was me, and that I’m interfering. I even told him that he can call me if he wants to make sure this is legit.”

“What else did you tell him?”

“That he’d be crazy if he didn’t at least chat with you. That you haven’t shared a photo of yourself because you’re a hot blonde who doesn’t need all the hassle – not because you’re ashamed to.”

Shayna covered her face with her hands then peeked at April between her fingers. “What do I do now?”

April laughed. “Wait and see if he messages you – he might not. Or if you really don’t like the idea, you could message him and tell him to forget it – that I had no business interfering.” Her smile faded. “Shoot! I really didn’t, did I? I was excited and … I’m sorry.”

“It’s all right, you meant well. I know that.” She checked the time. “I really have to run.”
