Chapter 46

“I’m sorry. I may have a late farm call. But if you don’t mind my being late, I…well…I guess it’d be okay.”

“I was just kidding you. I’m glad you want to. How about you call when you’re through for the day. Late doesn’t matter. Here’s my number.”

Bill and Dan exchanged numbers and said goodbye. Dan’s puzzlement over what Bill was intending, returned. He wasn’t ready to go into another relationship. However, he wasn’t sure that was where Bill was going with this, and Dan could be reading more into it than there was. It could be the guy just wanted to be friends. Or maybe he just wanted a fuck buddy—something Dan wasn’t interested in.

He went to the office and greeted Rose.

She smiled and got up from her desk, carrying the day’s schedules.

Just then Ezra came in. “Sorry you got called away last Saturday. Must have been a biggy since you didn’t come back.”
