CHAPTER 211

It surprised him when Trevor admitted, “I wasn’t sleepin’ either. I heard you.”

“You did?”

“Yeah. Now I’m thinkin’ if I would’ve gotten up when you did maybe we coulda saved that damn horse.”

Edgard frowned. “But you told Chassie—”

“I told Chassie what she needed to hear so she didn’t feel guilty,” Trevor said irritably. “If anyone’s gonna be takin’ on the brunt of the guilt around here, it’s gonna be me, not her.”

“Which is noble, Trev, but you didn’t have to be so cruel to her.”

“You tellin’ me how to handle my wife, Ed?”

“No. I’m telling you after what she’s been through in the last couple of days you should’ve expected she’d be an emotional train wreck. You should’ve been more sympathetic to her losing the horse, not less.” Edgard mentally braced himself for Trevor’s temper to explode.

But it didn’t, he just nodded. “I know. Even as that mean shit was runnin’ out of my mouth like I’d developed a case of scour, I couldn’t stop it.” Trevor hit the brakes and threw the truck in park.
