“Hi,” Johnny greeted her. Buck followed suit.
The brunette was cute and flirted with him every time he came in, but there was no chemistry and she was too young for him. “Today we need a cap gun, a holster and enough ammo to last a week.”
“It’s for Jenny,” Johnny explained.
“I see. Well, let’s get her outfitted. Is there anything else you need while I’m at it?”
“Do you have any cowboy boots?” Johnny asked Jenny.
“No.”
“Then she needs boots and a hat!” Johnny was starting to sound more like Carson every day.
“Could I have a white one?”
“I think there’s one your size.”
“Maybe I’ll get some cowboy boots, too,” Alex spoke up.
Buck had been on the verge of suggesting it.
“Great. Come on and follow me to the other end of the store.”
Before long, they’d bought everything they needed. Buck enjoyed sitting back while he watched Alex try on several different kinds of boots. With those legs...
When all the decisions had been made, he threw in a white hat for her. “Now you and Jenny will be the good guy twins.”
After flashing him a smile that lit her eyes, she walked to the front desk and pulled out her credit card.
“Sorry.” Buck picked it up and handed it back to her. He felt her warmth when their hands brushed in the process. “These purchases are compliments of the ranch. They go with the territory.”
She shook her head. “I don’t feel right about it.”
“Too bad, because that’s the way it is.” He turned to the clerk. “Put it on my bill.”
“You bet.”
“Would it be all right if we leave the bags here? We’ll come back for them a little later.”
“No problem. I’ll leave them behind the counter.”
“Thank you.” Excited for what was to follow, Buck left his cowboy hat with their purchases and walked the four of them out to the Jeep. When he’d flown into Jackson last evening anticipating the Forresters’ arrival, he couldn’t have imagined this happy scene or a woman like Alex. Although Frank was waiting in the background, Buck refused to think about that right now.
