A quick clip from The Cowboy’s Little Surprise for your Sunday reading.

There are some secrets you won’t tell even your best friend:

“Since I’m the one with the accounting degrees, I’m taking care of the first phase,” Tina explained. “Financing for the renovations.”

**“Renovations?”**

Ally came to a halt once again. This time, Tina didn’t prod her. Instead, she stopped and stared at the building beside them. The bookstore was one of her favorite places to spend time when she came to town. The store’s front window currently held a display of children’s classics, every one of which she knew nearly by heart. Every one of which she had planned to read to all of her and Cole’s children.

Ally rested her hand on her shoulder and said just the words Tina had hoped she wouldn’t say.  “But this isn’t right. I know you don’t want anybody making changes to the hotel.”

“That doesn’t matter, either. These are Jed’s dreams.”

Her own dreams, the ones she hadn’t been able to share even with Ally, had slipped away. She had done nothing to try to catch them. She shouldn’t have wished for things that could never be hers in the first place.

She shouldn’t wish for anything now.
