Bebe stared around the cabin in wonder.

“I know it’s small. And there’s only one bedroom and bathroom. But once I get this fire going, it will be really cozy.” He stoked the flames up higher. “And we can get a bigger cabin. We don’t have to stay here. Hell, we could probably even move into Wishingbone, if that’s what you want.”

Move?

Why would she want to move? Was he insane?

“I love it.”

He turned and gaped at her. “What?”

“It’s . . . it’s beautiful. I feel instantly at home.”

A flush filled his cheeks. “Yeah?”

She nodded. It was incredibly tidy. That might be an issue for them since she was so messy. Everything obviously had a place, but it was still welcoming. The corner sofa was a deep green with cream cushions. There was a cream rug on the floor with a wooden coffee table. Above the fireplace was a mantle that would be perfect for Christmas stockings.

It was all sigh-worthy.

The kitchen, living room, and dining area were all one big open-concept room. The kitchen wasn’t very big, but it didn’t need to be since she didn’t cook, and Corbin seemed to be okay with the size.

There was a huge basket of things on the small dining table.

“What’s this?” she asked, walking over to it. There was a card with her name on it. “Can I open the card?”

“Of course, baby.”

She opened the card and read the message, tears entering her eyes as she took in all the names on the card.

“Hey, what is it?” he asked walking over to wrap an arm around her as he read the card. “Ahh, a welcome package from the girls. That was nice of them. Why are you crying?”

Placing a finger under her chin, he turned her face so she was looking up at him.

“It’s just . . . it’sreallynice and so unexpected.”

He rubbed his thumb over her cheek. “I hate that you’re so shocked by someone doing something nice for you. Youshouldexpect it. The people who live here are good people. I’m guessing the reason the girls aren’t here in person is that they don’t want to overwhelm you. But they’re all happy you’re here.”

“Really?”

He leaned in and kissed her lips. “Really. Why don’t you take a look at the care package?”

Nodding enthusiastically, she carefully removed the cellophane packaging, nearly squealing in excitement as she saw the treats inside. There were boxes of chocolates, hot chocolate, a bag of tiny marshmallows, cookies, potato chips, and sweets.

“Hmm, I can see I’m going to have to confiscate some of this.”

“Confiscate it? It’s mine!” She threw herself over the basket protectively.

“I know it’s yours, baby. You get to have it. Just not all at once, or you’ll get a tummy ache or a hole in your tooth.”

“I don’t want that.” She put her hand over her mouth. No one liked visiting the dentist. Turning her attention to the package again, she saw that there was a squishy squirrel toy.

How had they known she liked squirrels? She eyed Corbin, but he was giving nothing away. However, she knew he must have told them.

It was all so incredibly thoughtful.

She pulled out a blue T-shirt with Welcome to Sanctuary Ranch written on the front and the image of a log cabin in the woods on it.

Hugging it to her, she then found a cropped sweater that had Wishingbone Bone, Montana: Batshit Crazy Since Forever written on the front. She giggled.
