“Savannah?”

“Grady…” her voice caught.

He looked at Kirk. “Who are you?”

“I don’t see where that concerns you.”

“It does if you’re upsetting Savannah.”

“Vanna, I just want to talk to you.”

“You have nothing to say that I want to hear, Kirk.”

Grady’s eyebrows shot up. “Kirk?”

“That’s right. Who are you?”

“The man who’s going to show you the door. Get out.” Grady stepped closer to him. “Now.”

“I’ll be in touch, Vanna.”

“Just leave, Kirk.” Savannah put her arms around Grady’s waist, and he pulled her close to him.

Kirk clenched his jaw but walked out the door. Savannah’s knees buckled but Grady held her up, then led her to the office and to the sofa where she sat down.

“I don’t know why he’s here.”

“What did he say?”

“Just that he wanted to talk to me.”

“You don’t need to talk to him for any reason.”

“I don’t want to.” She shook her head. “I don’t know why he’s here,” she repeated.

“It doesn’t matter why he’s here. You’re not going to talk to him.”

“I won’t.” She looked at him. “Why are you here?”

“I wanted to see if you wanted to get lunch together.”

“I’ve lost my appetite.”

“I’m sure. Alright, baby. If you’re sure you’re okay, I’m going to head back to the ranch then. Call me if he shows up again. I’d love to kick his ass.”

“Thank you. I’m glad you came in. Maggie was ready to punch him.” She smiled.

“Good for Maggie.” He stood up. “I’ll talk to you later.” He leaned down and kissed her lips.

“Okay.”

Grady left the room. Savannah heard him talking to Maggie then the door opened and closed. Savannah couldn’t stop shaking. Why had Kirk come here? How did he even know where she was?

She took her phone from her pocket and called her mother.

“Hi, honey,” her mother said.

“Mom, did you tell Kirk where I was?”
