It was difficult to stomach seeing her in this much pain. He had known Court cheated on her; Sawyer had said as much at some point. His heart broke for her and what she must have gone through, what Court had put her through, young and pregnant, abandoned by his younger brother and having to lie to everyone about who the baby’s father was. It seemed wrong to Seth that Rowan had had to bear the weight of people’s judgmental looks when Court was every bit as responsible. And it had been hard to keep silent while listening to Court insist that he’d changed for the better. Seth had heard the words, but they didn’t exactly ring true, in his opinion. Court had been “different” for just a few days, and all he’d done, really, was pick up a reata and practice with it. Not exactly proof positive of long-lasting change. He still had to be hounded every day to help with baling and maintenance around the ranch. Rowan was right not to trust him, as hard as it was for Seth to have to admit that about his own brother.
