relocated later. Where’s your friend?”
“Oh Tori will be here tomorrow. She’s having someone drive her up here. I actually have to do an interview with him when he gets here. It shouldn’t take too much time. Then he’ll leave afterward. I hope that isn’t a problem.”
Emma shook her head to reassure her. “Not at all. Do you have any idea what time they’ll be here?”
She had gotten a text from Tori as she drove to the ranch, complaining about having to bring Colt all the way to Novak Springs. All Ginnifer could think was too damn bad, but Emma didn’t need to know all of that, so all she told her was, “Not until after lunch. She texted me earlier and said it would be close to two o’clock before they arrived.”
Emma rustled through the folder she was carrying and pulled out some papers. She turned her face toward Ginnifer and smiled. “Good, then you’ll be able to get up with us at sunrise to do our first round of yoga. We are going to do horseback riding this evening if you’re interested.”
“No, I want to rest tonight. I’m not even sure if I can manage to come up for dinner.”
Emma had two sheets of paper and a set of keys in her hands. She handed them over to Ginnifer. “Well, here is a list of our two-week itinerary and the keys to your cabin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at any time. Here is your cabin now, we have you staying in the green cabin. In case you get confused, it has a green door. We painted all the doors different colors to help guests remember which one they are in because they all look alike sitting like ducks in a row. Dinner is in two hours if you decide to join us. The itinerary has details about everything, including when and where we’ll have each meal.”
“Thanks, I appreciate it.”
With that, Emma walked away as Ginnifer unlocked the door and entered the cabin. Everything was clean and smelled heavenly. It was really too bad she was too tired to enjoy it all. She scanned the room and walked to the nearest full-size bed. It had the prettiest green and blue patchwork quilt on it with two matching fluffy pillows. That was what she really needed, someplace to lay down and leave the rest of the world for a little while. She would get a good look at everything else in the cabin once she had some more sleep. Ginnifer dropped her bags, kicked off her shoes, and fell face first onto the bed. It didn’t take long for her to fall asleep and enter the world of dreams. She didn’t know that a certain sexy cowboy was going to star in them, or she might have held off trying to get the sleep she desperately needed. All she got out of the deal was a frustration she wasn’t prepared to handle.
Chapter Six
A loud noise erupted through the stillness and echoed louder with each bounce of acoustics across the cabin’s walls. When the sound reached Ginnifer’s ears, she shot out of bed and pounced on the offending object to make it stop. Damn phone, who the hell tries to call at five a.m.? The reverberation of the phone was the equivalent of getting a bucket of cold water thrown on her face, successfully jerking her awake. She picked up her phone to see who dared to disturb her sleep. She had been tossing and turning all night from the erotic dreams her subconscious decided to bestow upon on her. Stupid sexy cowboy had to make a starring role in those erotic dreams too. A happy camper she was not; patience was not a virtue when you were jolted awake before the sun rose in the sky. If they were expecting her to have a charitable mood, they were in for a not so pleasant surprise. She slid the unlock button on her phone and scrolled to her missed calls. Damn it, Tori. She should know better than to try to call her this early in the morning. If there was anyone on the planet that should realize how she hated mornings, it was her best friend.
Crap! What if something happened? She needed to call her back to find out why she had called her before even
