ranch. It might be a good idea to ask Paige those questions. I’m a go-an-fetch man, and I guess I’ll be fetching you for dinner in a few hours.” He turned and left and that made Katlyn all the more curious.
    Tessa sat opposite Katlyn. “I really can’t believe this place. We’ll have to be on our best behavior so we can continue to live here. We might even get lucky and meet a cowboy or two. I must admit that Angus really made an impression on me.”
    Katlyn nodded. “Go for it, girl, but Angus said he keeps busy looking after the cattle. The strange thing is that I couldn’t help but notice that we passed mostly sheep ranches. I didn’t think cattle ranches and sheep herds went together.”
    “Me, either. We’ll have to ask about that after dinner. I sure hope we have steak for dinner. I mean, if they raise cattle, there’s nothing wrong with a little dreaming, is there?”
    “I sure could go for old fashioned steak and potatoes,” Katlyn agreed. “I’m going to take a little nap. Let’s check out the upstairs.”
    They made their way up the staircase that led to the second floor, or loft, where there were two rooms on either side of a short hallway. Katlyn admired the quilted bedspread and collapsed on the bed and was out like a light.

    “Wake up, Katyln. It’s time for dinner,” Tessa said as she jumped on her bed.
    Katlyn buried her head under her pillow. “Go away. I’m not hungry. Besides, I just can’t let anyone see me in my tattered clothing.”
    “Angus brought us clothes while you were sleeping.”
    Katlyn sat up and examined the clothes Tessa handed to her. She quickly changed, donning the jeans and button-up plaid shirt, which surprisingly fit. “It feels great to have fresh clothing on for a change. I must admit, I’m hungry.”
    Tessa led the way downstairs just as there was a knock at the door. Angus strode through the door, ladened with grocery bags. He lugged them to the kitchen, unpacking and putting items away. Katlyn grabbed a package of cookies and ripped it open, shoving a chocolate cookie with a cream center in her mouth. Her eyes rolled back as her taste buds exploded in pleasure.
    Tessa made her way into the room and began gorging on the cookies, too. “You two might want to save room for dinner, unless you don’t like steak.”
    Katlyn and Tessa dropped the cookies and smiled. “And dinner is when?” Katlyn asked.
    “I was sent to bring you to the main house, but decided to buy you some groceries to fill your pantry first. We can’t have the new teacher starving.”
    Katlyn smiled. “Where is the schoolhouse? I had hoped to take a look at it before I began teaching. I’d like to assure myself that it has everything I need before the students arrive.”
    “I’ll do that, after dinner. Miss Paige won’t like it if we’re late, which we are already.” Angus laughed.
    Angus led Katlyn and Tessa to the house. It was a beautiful day, full of promise. Two cowboys were in the distance, saddling up on two stallions. The strange thing was how the horses behaved. They nervously backed up until a third cowboy appeared and cooed to them. The hairs rose on the back of Katlyn’s neck, but she quickly dismissed it as nerves. After all, this was a strange place, one that would take time to get used to.
    When they made it to the front door, Katlyn admired the double doors with frosted, etched glass, displaying two rearing stallions. The doors swung open by Paige, who was elegantly dressed in a lace dress that came to mid-thigh, with knee high black boots on her feet. Her dark hair flowed down her back, shining like it had been dusted with glitter. She smiled. “It’s about time. The steaks were just pulled off the grill.”
    The interior of the house was a custom log home with a huge fireplace in the large living room. What surprised Katlyn the most was that there were no trophies hanging over the mantle. When she asked Angus about this, he said, “The lords don’t
