Damn straight you did.
Me
Mayo or mustard?
Annabelle
Very random, but I like both, depending on what I’m eating with it. Hot dogs—mustard. Hamburgers—mayo.
Favorite food?
Me
A good steak cooked medium with a loaded baked potato. You?
Annabelle
Sushi or pasta.
Me
Beach or mountains?
Annabelle
Beach. You?
Me
Mountains. My ranch has great mountain views, and it's my favorite place to go when I need a break.
Annabelle
Ranch? Like a dude ranch?
I smile at my clueless city girl.
Me
No, like a ranch on a couple thousand acres of green grass, rolling hills, and dirt roads. Where I can sit on the front porch in a rocking chair, sipping sweet tea with only the sounds of nature to keep me company.
Annabelle
Sounds peaceful.
Hayes
It is. Play your cards right and I’ll bring you and thegirls out there.
Me
Bailey and Rowdy find out today if they’re having a boy or girl. I can’t wait to be Uncle Hayes.
Annabelle
That’s exciting! Are they going to tell people or keep it a secret?
