The Rancher's Lullaby (Glades County Cowboys) (2015)
“Tipping his hat to the folks stuck in Okeechobee’s version of late afternoon gridlock, he wove his way between the half-dozen vehicles stopped at a light. A wry smile tugged at his lips when a lone, impatient driver honked a horn. He wondered how the guy would handle rush hour in Atlanta, where cars crowded the streets no matter what the time. Tension gripped him at the memory of daily hour-long commutes. He shook it off with a roll of his shoulders.
He ran his thumb along the crisp edge of... the deposit slip in his back pocket. Thanks to his brother, he’d never have to deal with another big-city traffic jam. Hank had outdone himself, finding a buyer for the house in Georgia and propelling the sale through closing in record time. Garrett swallowed against the ghost of old dreams that rose when he imagined another family moving into the place that had been his and Arlene’s.
He stopped to resettle his Stetson. No regrets, he ordered. He couldn’t change the past, could only control the future.MoreLess
