Weston Ranch, Fisher's Story Read Online Free PDF

since Maddie had a doctor's appoin tment. She had no clue where Lexie went after the confrontation at the diner , but she was surprised to see her in town at all , being a veterinarian assistant and spending most of her time in the fields and barns.
    Claire heard the bell ding overhead, signaling a new customer when she entered the realtor office . The building the office was in is new. There were elegant paintings on one side of the wall; the other side of the wall had listings of property on printed paper that was held up by thumb tacks. There was no one at the reception desk , and the other doors were closed . Claire moved closer to the listings, browsing through to see if anything jumped out at her.
    " Welcome Miss Hicks . Thank you for coming in. How may I help you ?" A voice said behind her. Claire faced the older woman , who came o ut of one of the closed door.
    "You're welcome and I am fine. I am looking to buy som e land around this area to buy ." Claire was trying to find a name tag or name plate so she would know what to call the lady .
    "Well, I might be able to help. How much land are you looking for? ” The lady asked.
    "I need about fifty acres, more if possible, with wa ter, sewage, buildable lots and preferable mineral rights included , " she said.
    It was a staggering amount. Claire rendered the poor woman speechless, probably from the commission she would get if the sale went through.
    "There is no land for sale with that amount of land, at least not around here. The best people to ask are the Weston's. They own most the land in this town. May I ask what you are planning to do with this land? Does it need to be commercial or residential zoning ?" The realtor asked, sitting down and taking out a pen, presumably to take notes.
    "I am not sure what the zoning would be. I am opening a special needs camp for kids. I wanted land that has scenery but still flat. I have already spoken to the Weston's, which is why I am now here, " Claire said nicely.
    " Probably commercial then, but you can always get the zoning changed through paperwork. I will make some calls and see what I can do for you , but it will take a few days to get back to you. Is that alright?"
    " That would be great . Here is my number, just give me a call when you're ready." Claire wrote down her cell phone number on the back of her business card. She t hanked the lady politely and walked out the door. Maddie was waiting for her in the parking lot, much to her relief. Claire adjusted her sunglasses on her face and got into the Land Rover .
    "Any luck with finding some land?" Maddie asked as soon as she finished buckling her seat beat.
    " Nothing yet, now s pill about what is going on with Ash and Lexie. " Claire wasn't going to be deflected from her curiosity. Maddie was mulling over what to say . I t took a few seconds for her to spit it out.
    "Asher makes her unsettled. For the past year , he has been hovering around her . At first I was amused by it, because I knew he wanted me back in high school . They stayed the weekend togeth er once last summer when Lexie was taking care of a calf of his. They came back all weird around each other and acting that way ever since. This game isn't funny to me anymore . I am jealous as hell now. He’s total ly forgotten me. I guess I am mad at him too , " s he said , backing out onto the street.
    “ You never paid Ash any attention from day one. You told me that you weren’t attractive to him. So why now?” Claire asked, curious.
    “ I don’t know. I guess I miss all the attention. I know Lexie has always liked him, so I never encouraged Ash’s attentions and still won’t . We need to get Lexie to spill on what happened, then we can help them,” Maddie said, cheering up somewhat .
    "Well that makes all us sisters upset with the Weston boys." Claire was trying to make light of her situation.
    They drove the fifteen minutes back home listening to Taylor swift's Mine song. She was relieved when she saw her
