interaction with him all that much harder. And since Vince owns the ranch on the other side of her now…”
Luke rubbed his neck. “Have the two of them met?”
“Yes.” Trevor propped an arm on the side of his truck. “She doesn’t like him.”
Luke’s posture relaxed in relief. “She’s always had good instincts about people.”
“About a lot of things, from what I see,” Trevor concurred. He understood why Luke was protective of his second-oldest daughter, but protection wasn’t what Rebecca needed.
Luke studied Trevor a long moment. “I never thought of you as a potential boyfriend for my daughter,” he said. “But I want you to know, should you ever decide to pursue her, you have my blessing.”
Trevor accepted the announcement with the respect it had been given. “I appreciate that, sir, but I would prefer you not mention this to Rebecca. It would probably blow whatever slim chance I have of getting her to go out with me.”
A quizzical lift of the brow. “And do you want to go out with her?” Luke asked.
Trevor shrugged. “I don’t think she wants to go out with anyone right now. She’s got her hands full starting up her operation.”
“Which is exactly why she needs someone like you in her life.”
“Be that as it may, that’s up to her to decide,” Trevor said. “And with all due respect, sir, I suggest you back off and give her room to do it.”
“SO WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON between you and my dad?” Rebecca asked Trevor the moment the movers and her parents had left.
He turned and gave her a look that was pure innocence. “What are you talking about?”
So you’re going to make me spell it out. “He obviously wanted to speak to you about something. Otherwise he wouldn’t have ridden over to your ranch with you.”
Trevor’s hazel eyes took on a gentle expression. “He’s concerned about you. I told him he didn’t need to be. You’re going to be a fine rancher. Yeah, there are bound to be difficulties, but there are people like me and my brothers and my mom and dad around to help you get acclimated to ranch living.”
