The Ranch Hand

Saying Goodbye.

Ella's POV

I wake up to the sun beating down on my face. I turn over and realize we are outside right in the middle of a heard of cows eating.

Ella: Beau! Wake up.

Beau: Good morning.

He sits up.

Beau: Shit, I can't believe we slept out here all night.

Ella: Yea I can't either. If we don't get up soon it looks as if the cows may take a bite out of us.

I stand up and stretch out. I bend down and put on my pink boots. Beau stands up and we start walking back to the house. Tommy is sitting on the front porch.

Ella: I think I want to talk to all of them tonight.

Beau: About what you told me, or tell them you're staying?

He has the biggest smile on his face.

Ella: I want to tell them everything. If I'm going to stay here, I want them to know everything about me.

Beau: Ok, we can do it.

Ella: Lord.

Beau: What?

Ella: Why does it feel like I'm doing the walk of shame?

Beau: Haha, I don't know.

We get to the front porch. Tommy just smiles.

Pops: How did y'all sleep?

Ella: I still can't believe I slept out there. What would've happened if the coyotes sniffed us out?

Beau: Yea, they normally roam all around out here at night. I guess we got lucky.

Just thinking about it sends a chill down my back.

Pops: There's fresh coffee in the kitchen.

Ella: Thank you. I'm going to grab me a cup and get ready, I'll see you boys later.

Beau looks at me and winks. I give him a quick smile and walk inside.

Beau's POV

Pops: What was y'all doing out there all night?

Beau: We talked.

Pops: All night?

Beau: What can I say, she's easy to talk to.

Pops: Was it a good conversation?

Beau: It was great. She wants to talk to everyone tonight.
