Lonely Cowboy Looking For....

       Greg waved his hand in front of Kyle's face and said "Man, where the hell is your mind?! And just who is texting you and making you grin like a fool?" Kyle shook his head and put down the phone, he looked over at Greg and said " You know how you suggested I place that personal ad?" Greg nodded and Kyle continued " I posted one last night and let me tell you there was like 40 responses but I only replied to one. Her name is Rebecca. She's relocating to Texas from New York and came across my ad while she was on craigslist looking for places to rent in the area. She admitted she had never answered an ad before but mine caught her eye. And man I can't explain it! She's sweet and funny and loves kids. She's a nurse specializing in pediatrics. She works with kids with special needs like Addie. She's beautiful, so damn beautiful, we e-mailed for the first few hours then switched to Facebook messenger. We never ran out of things to say and honestly you know how when you meet someone and they feel like you've known them forever? Well that's how it feels. When she told me about her ex and what he did to her I wanted to hunt the bastard down. I hated that I wasn't going to be able to talk to her while I drove home, so she sent me her number. We talked almost the whole drive home."

     Greg looked shocked and said "Damn, you don't usually talk that much! So got a picture I can see?" Kyle pulled up her contact and showed him the picture she had sent. Greg said "You're right she is beautiful, and obviously is a nurse that works with kids. So when is she moving to Texas?" Kyle said "She's not sure. She has to find a place and apply to hospitals here. She's coming in on the 6th to visit family up in Broken Bow and we plan to get together. She will be here for two weeks. I know her sister, niece and mom live in Broken Bow. I seriously can't wait for her to get here and meet her, we're going to video chat tonight." Greg smiled and said "I'm glad you're happy about this, and is she ok with the fact that you have kids? Did you tell her about Sarah?"

     Kyle said "She great about the kids. I mentioned Addie had appointments today and she asked more than once how the appointments were going. I told her about Sarah and what happened and why she's not in their lives and her response was calling Sarah a worthless bitch and saying she needed her ass kicked." Greg started laughing and said "Sounds like a good lady there. So did you look on her page and see if everything matches up?" Kyle walked over and grabbed his laptop and pulled up Facebook, He showed Greg her page. He said " See all the pictures match her, it says she works at St. Mary's Hospital for Children and lives in Saddle Rock , NY. Her Birthday is May 15th, when she will turn 30 years old. You bring up her friends list and type in Laramie, it brings up Alice Laramie and Olivia Laramie both that live in Broken Bow, Ok... they are her sister and mom." He clicked on Alice's page and saw she had just posted an update. He said " See you can see the resemblance in the sisters. Look Alice just posted an update. 'Now that Mom knows I can say something! My big Sis is coming to visit and I can't wait!!!! Hurry up Rebecca Laramie! I miss you!!!' See Rebecca saw it and liked it!"

       Greg said "Yeah everything seems legit. So when are you going to video chat? She's online now." Kyle laughed and said " I'll do it later." Greg said "Do it now I want to see." Kyle sighed and sent her a message.

K: My friend doesn't believe you exist. Lol . Video chat?

R: I exist alright, but i suppose since he's just trying to look out for you I can prove it! Lol

     Kyle said "See she's got a great sense of humor." He hit the video call button and waited until she showed up on screen, she was even more beautiful then her picture. She waved and said "See friend of Kyle's I do exist." Then she started laughing and Greg leaned closer over his shoulder, waved and said "Glad you weren't some hairy old dude." She shook her head and just said "Eww!" Kyle said "Have you been packing? I know you were earlier." She picked up the computer and turned it so he could see the boxes along the wall and said "Making good progress actually. I never realized how much of this stuff I don't use on a daily basis!" Kyle was laughing as a big fat cat walked over and sat on her computer. She picked up the furry cat and cuddled him in her arms before saying "This is Lucifer, my cat." He said "Lucifer?" She grinned and said "He earned that name believe me! It use to be Smokey. After two weeks it went to Lucifer because he's a demon cat." Kyle laughed and said "Yeah he looks real evil right now."

        She sat the cat down and said "He will show his true colors believe me! I just made the reservations for him at his favorite cat daycare for my trip! There's no way he's coming with me this time anyway!" Kyle was laughing and looked over at Greg saying "See I told you she was real!" Rebecca's phone rang and she said "Hold on Kyle that's my sister." He sat there and she said "Slow Down, What do you mean she fell? What are they saying? Well call me as soon as the doctor comes in, they're sure its broken though? Alright i'll make arrangements here. See ya soon Sis." She turned back to Kyle and said " My mom fell , they are pretty sure she broke at least her leg in a few places, might have broke her hip too. I have to call my boss, he's not going to be happy. Looks like my trip just got moved up. I'll call you in a bit Kyle. I have to make arrangements." He said "Alright Darlin, call me when you know you're coming in. You shouldn't be driving upset." She signed off and he turned to Greg, he said "Well that was unexpected. I hope her mom is ok. Even once she flies in it will be a few hours until she gets to Broken Bow."
