Brooke, you are one pleasant surprise after another.” Looking at the other two males, he asked, “What picture?” Brooke took her phone out and flipped through it before tossing it to him. He glanced down and his eyes got wide as he did a double-take. “Dear lord, Brooke.”
    Her shrug let them know she’d probably heard all kinds of comments about the photo, “I keep it on my phone. Better to take away the forbidden aspect of it. Trust me it makes it much less fucking embarrassing.”
    “There is nothin’ about this picture you should be embarrassed about. Not one thing, honey,” Travis told her firmly.
    “Amen,” Logan and Decklan said at the same time.
    Brooke laughed with a blush and racked her saddle, stripping the blanket off before starting to brush the filly down. She seemed to enjoy the soothing rhythm of brushing down her horse, taking her time, and doing a thorough job. Walking her to the stable, she filled her feed and gave her sugar cubes and carrots while talking soothingly. “You are such a good girl, always so reliable. Yes, I just love you, pretty baby. I’ll let you wander the pasture later, Buttercup but I have stuff to do right now. You ran good, rest for a little while, honey.”
    She washed up to her elbows before turning to the men, “Y’all hungry? I made tons of food last night and didn’t realize how overboard I’d gone until I put the leftovers away. I insist. Come on up to the house.” Passing them, she led the way and entered the kitchen through a side door.
    Motioning for them to sit at the huge farmer’s table, she brought them heated plates of steak fingers with gravy, steak fries, potato salad, turnip greens, and peach cobbler. By the time she had the food down, her brother and sisters had filed down with clean faces. They took seats and Brooke told the men with a smile, “I’m not old enough to buy alcohol yet so I can’t offer you a beer but I have sweet tea, Koolaid, and bottled water.” Bringing them each what they wanted, she excused herself with a warning to her siblings to behave or else.
    The moment Brooke was out of earshot, Becca said shyly, “Y’all are so pretty. Prettier than on TV even.” Her voice was filled with breathless awe.
    Logan and Decklan smiled, “Thank you very much. So are you, sweetheart.”
    “Taller, too,” Molly added with a dreamy expression. “You’re taller than Brooke and she was taller than Mama.”
    Jackson couldn’t care less about their looks and asked them seriously, “Are you really going to bring Brooke into the band?” They nodded. “She needs it. Not the money. She busts her ass, uh, sorry girls, to make sure we have enough. But she’d always thought she’d be a songwriter, doing what she loved. She does real good, made a lot of sacrifices for us. But nobody loves bringing in the hay, I don’t care who you are. You’d a thought she won the lottery when she came back from Dallas. She hired help which is why she was able to relax a little bit today.”
    Becca announced happily while bouncing in her chair, “She’s gonna play band with us today! I play the tamb’rine. But Molly and Jackson are teachin’ me guitar. Brooke used to but she don’t have time no more. Wanna play with us?”
    As Jackson started to explain big country stars don’t play band with a bunch of kids, he was shocked when Decklan interrupted. “I’d love to hear y’all. Why don’t we clean this up for your sister and jam until she comes back?”
    The three kids raced to put food away and clear surfaces, Becca running adorably ahead into the den down the hall with her pigtails flying. Following with big grins, they were amazed at the contents of the room. “Good lord, your family is really focused on music.” The room was filled with used instruments of all kinds. There was even a tuba.
    The young man said softly, “Our parents both played. Daddy got this land from his folks but he always wanted to be a musician. All this stuff was
