My Country Home

Later that night, Wyatt, Amelia, and Theresa arrived back to the ranch as Theresa sat at the table while Wyatt and Amelia stood on the side.

"Okay, time to upload the video!"

Theresa grabbed her laptop and started typing at maximum speed as Wyatt leaned close to Amelia and whispered to her.

"Do I dare to ask?"

"Probably not since you don't wanna get wrapped up in the crossfire."

"I can hear you."

"She busted us."

Theresa sighed as she placed her head into her hands, hopelessly.

"This is going to take forever."

She showed them the screen as the uploading percentage ticked up slowly.

"I guess we'd better call it a night."

Theresa made her way upstairs as she turned back and smiled at Amelia.

"Thanks for help today with Land Corps and Griffin, Amelia."

"Did you two have a good time on the way home?"

"We didn't do anything but just talked which was really nice."

"Good, I'm happy that you're happy, Theresa."

After Theresa went upstairs for the night, Wyatt snuck up behind Amelia as he wrapped his arms around her and started kissing her neck.

"Finally, I have you all to myself."

Amelia leaned her head to the side as she gave him better access to her neck.

"And what're you planning to do with me?"

Wyatt whispered the answer in her ear which made her flutter with anticipation.

"Wyatt..."

Amelia led Wyatt upstairs to her bedroom and then the next morning, she was awakened just as the sun was starting to rise by the sound of huge machinery.

"What the...?"

Amelia walked over to the window as she saw Landon and a small group of Land Corps bulldozers outside, next to the old barn.

"Dammit, we were too late!"

She pulled herself together and then sprinted outside as she ran over to the barn where Landon was offering the Clint the contract.

"This age-old barn, ignored and useless, is a shameful sight. Terrible, which is what you'd expect but as a symbol of the future of this land, we're going to tear it down today and together, we'll rebuild a brand new ranch facility!"

"Landon, just get on with it because nobody don't want to hear talk forever."

Landon looked at Amelia in surprise as he remembered seeing her face.

"Wait, aren't you...? But that's no matter, this is almost over so Clint, your signature please."

"Dad, are you sure you don't want to take a minute to think about this?"

"I... No, this is the best for us all..."

Clint reached out to grab the pen as Amelia heard footsteps behind her in which the whole town came out for support as he stared down at the pen in his hand.

"We support you, Clint!"

"We got your back!"

"Blueridge sticks together!"

"People, can we get this done with? I want to be back before the hotel end their breakfast hours."

Just when Clint pressed the pen to the paper, Theresa rushed out of the house as she held her phone above her head.
