A few months later and we had settled into a pretty great routine at the ranch. Construction of our new house was just about done, but I didn’t tell Veronica that. I wanted it to be a surprise when it was finished. I swung by Cole’s office to drop off her lunch. Veronica couldn’t seem to remember to bring her lunch sometimes. I was always driving all over the ranch, so it was no big deal to stop.
“Hey babe,” I greeted, walking into the office. “Forget something?”
She gestured for me to hold on. She was just finishing up a phone call.
“Really? Okay, thanks. I appreciate the call,” said Veronica, hanging up.
I sat down in a chair across from her.
“What’s up? Work stuff?” I asked.
“No, that was the prosecutor’s office,” she explained.
“What did they say?!” called Cole
