His eyes narrowed as he considered her words.

      “You know people pay a small fortune for this kind of outdoor experience. We offer it to our kids free of charge.”

      Lucy looked at him. The man was privileged. Could he possibly understand? “You have no idea what an opportunity this is for kids who have been forgotten in foster care or suffered the emotional abyss of abusive situations.” She couldn’t help herself as the words began to tumble from her mouth unfiltered. “Please don’t discount this event until you’ve experienced the trail ride for yourself.”

      For once Jack Harris was silent.

      “Are you up for the challenge?” she asked.

      “Do I have a choice?”

      “Everyone has a choice. You and I need to put our differences aside for the summer because the children of Big Heart Ranch come first.”

      When he didn’t answer, she took a deep breath. “Can we work together for six weeks or not, Jack?”

      “I guess we’ll have to try, won’t we?”

      “It’s all up to you, Jack.” Lucy nodded toward the back of the chow hall, where Dub Lewis waved his stubby arms. “Your buddy has your seat saved.”

      Jack released a resigned sigh as his gaze followed hers. When he started across the room, a limp was still evident.

      “Oh, and Jack?”

      He turned, brows raised. “Yeah?”

      “Moleskin.”

      “Excuse me?”

      “Try moleskin and a little triple antibiotic ointment for those blisters.”

      His gaze shot to his shoes, and he immediately stopped limping. “I don’t have blisters. The only thing rubbing me the wrong way is this ranch.”

      Lucy clutched her clipboard to her chest as she inhaled slowly, counting to ten while willing herself not to respond. Keeping her mouth shut every time Jack Harris pushed her buttons might very well prove to be the most difficult challenge of the next six weeks.
