How could he explain to his little girl?
A Rancher’s Pride
Hi, Readers! In this continuation from Snippet Sunday, the hero of A Rancher’s Pride is still reeling over the live “surprise package” his ex-wife dumped in his lap:
From the shadows of the barn doorway the next afternoon, Sam stole a glance across the yard to where his little girl played by the back porch steps, unmindful of anything near her.
If he had reason to yell Becky’s name, she wouldn’t hear him. If Porter’s uncontrollable mutt appeared from the ranch next door and made a beeline for her, she wouldn’t know. If the house collapsed behind her, she’d never have a clue—unless she saw the dust cloud kicked up from the falling debris.
And, worst of all, Sam couldn’t explain any of this to her.
He couldn’t communicate with his daughter at all.
Jack, his ranch foreman, nodded in Becky’s direction. “Look at her, boss. The girl’s taking things in stride.”
“Better than I am.”
Jack shrugged. “Not every day a man’s ex saddles him with a kid he’s not expecting… Your mom’s handling things, too.”
“Yeah. But neither of us is going to be able to cope with a child who can’t talk.
