Grant was still shaking his head at what he’d seen in the barn that morning. If it had been anyone other than Drew….well, it wouldn’t have been anyone else. Both he and Eleanor had suspected their daughter had strong feelings for MacLaren, but they hadn’t believed he returned Tess’s interest. Now he understood why. Drew was determined to walk before he declared his intentions. Grant’s respect for the young man had grown with that revelation, even if he wished Drew had kept his hands to himself a little longer.After the late start, Grant and a few of his men had ridden to the Miller ranch. It was a relief when he saw Ted talking with his men, and Myrna with the children. Grant had spoken with Ted for over an hour, explaining the concerns and what had transpired at the Langdon and Bierdan ranches. Although Ted had heard much about Warren Langdon’s decision to sell his land, he wasn’t aware of the numerous threats against Eloise Bierdan, nor the discovery of Hap Whidley’s body.They’d stayed longer than anticipated but Grant was grateful when Myrna had invited them all to stay for dinner.
