Jamie whispered into his cell phone, careful not to be overheard by the other two ranch hands.“It wasn’t my secret to tell, Jamie, any more than yours would have been had I known. Frankly, I’m surprised he told you. As far as I’m aware, Jules and I are the only other people who know, and the only reason Jules does is because she saw him out on a date when we were all in college.” John sighed. “Look you have more important things to worry about. I heard what happened last night. That was just the beginning, Jamie. Are you sure you want to stay around here?”“Hell, yes, I’m staying here. This is my home! I have no intention of leaving because of a bunch of asshole bigots. Hold on a sec. I gotta go after this calf.”“What?”Jamie pulled the phone away and tightened his grip on Spot’s reins, ignoring his brother. Spot, in turn, tried his best to ignore Jamie’s demand to follow the calf.“Damn it, Spot! You’re not gonna win, so you might as well mind me, you obstinate pain in the ass!”
