much. She relied on them and took comfort in having them to confide in and be supportive. It would be wonderful if Ava could have the same and truly feel loved and cared for. She deserved happiness and maybe today on her date, she may have found some.

“How about tomorrow? Can you come by and see the ranch tomorrow?” Evan asked as he and Colton walked Ava to her car.
“I guess I could probably stop by for a little while. I have to work tomorrow night, though. I don’t want to get too tired before work.”
“We promise, just a tour and maybe an early lunch?” Evan suggested.
She stared up at both of them. They were so good looking, and despite Evan’s shoulder-length hair, he still appeared disciplined in his stance, his politeness, and his firm handling of things. Colton seemed to always be in commander mode. She kind of liked it about him. He was rough around the edges, very cautious and distrusting, but here and there he relaxed a little and let his guard down. That was when she was most impressed with him.
“Okay. I’ll stop over around eleven. Is that good?” she asked.
“That’s perfect.”
Evan placed his hand on her waist and gave her a light kiss on her lips.
“Thank you for a wonderful time,” she told him. Then Colton stepped forward and stared down at her. She felt that nervous, uncertain feeling from his stare. He had such an incredible and natural ability to intimidate, without even knowing it. He took a lock of her hair and let it slide through his fingers.
“I’ll see you tomorrow.” He leaned down and kissed her a little deeper than his brother. She kissed him back and caressed her hand down his chest as he slowly pulled away.
“Drive carefully,” Evan told her as she got into her car and drove away.
On her way down the streets of Delite, she felt almost euphoric at the day’s events. What had started off as feeling negative and sad, and almost thinking that going on the date was a mistake, had turned into something special. She would embrace the time with Colton and Evan tomorrow. After that, her focus had to remain on recovering from the surgery and fighting for her life. She wanted time to explore this relationship with Colton and Evan. She wasn’t going to let a little old thing like cancer destroy her future. No freaking way.

Wednesday morning Ava walked into the kitchen to see Susanna, BJ, Monte, Juliet, Paula, Elise, Vic, Tommy, Tyler, Matt, Carl, and Richie. Everyone was talking, Susanna and Juliet were making pancakes and bacon, and as she entered the room, they all greeted her as if nothing was different at all.
“Hey, Ava, how’s it going?” Vic asked then gave her a kiss on the cheek. Tommy did the same and then Elise grabbed Ava’s arm, hugging her as she walked her toward the table in the kitchen.
“We’re making breakfast this morning,” Elise told her, and Ava was relieved because she was feeling a little tired, from not sleeping well, but also a bit sad. Making breakfast was her thing to do, no matter how big the crowd.
“So, what’re the plans for today?” BJ asked as he took a seat next to her at the table. She felt her cheeks warm and then she decided not to read into everyone’s behavior and just look at this as her family being supportive. She loved them for it. It was probably Susanna’s idea, considering that tomorrow they would be leaving early for the hospital and she wasn’t allowed to eat after nine o’clock tonight.
“Well, wouldn’t you like to know. But, I’m not telling,” Ava teased, and BJ popped a piece of bacon into his mouth as the others gathered around, filling up the seats around the large table as well as by the island. The platters of pancakes and bacon were being passed around and Ava picked up the bowl of fruit, scooped some onto her plate, then passed it to BJ
“I have ways of finding things out. You know there’s not much that happens around here that I don’t find out
