Beau
Nursing a cup of black coffee, I picked a path through the crowded Magpie
Street Farmer’s Market. Since it was Saturday, my boss looked the other
way for a few hours in the morning, granting his ranch hands some personal
time to do whatever we wanted. Grady McCall might be a stubborn,
intimidating bastard, but he was a fair and good man, I’d give him that.
As I made my way through the Farmer’s Market, I searched for the
booth my best friend would be running with his wife. A few feet ahead, I
spotted the sign for Robinwood Acres. When I approached, I found Landon
McClaren with his baby daughter sheltered snug and safe in the crook of his
arm. His wife, Callie, was deep in conversation with a handful of customers
as they discussed the array of produce from her greenhouse.
It made perfect sense that Landon would look after the baby, while
Callie managed the customers. She loved talking to people, making
connections in town, while Landon was more reserved, sticking to a handful
of folks he knew well and trusted.
“Never thought I’d see the day when fatherhood suited you,” I said.
Landon turned to greet me. He cupped his daughter’s head in his
palm, smoothing his thumb over her wispy hair.
“It helps that our little Cora-Jean takes after her mother,” he
replied. “She has the patience of a saint.”
Cora-Jean yawned and waved her tiny fist until she latched onto
Landon’s thumb with a tight grip. Then she gave a sleepy sigh and turned
her face into his chest. A soft smile touched his lips. Named after her greatgrandmother, Cora, and taking Callie’s middle name, it sounded like CoraJean had big shoes to fill in a long line of hardy homestead McClaren
women.
It was amazing to witness the change that had come over Landon
after he married Callie and they started living together. He went from sullen
and aloof to a devoted husband and father who wouldn’t shut up about his
gorgeous wife and sweet kid. After everything he’d been through, I was
glad to see that he finally had a family of his own who taught him what it
was like to be loved so unconditionally.
“Is this the part where you convince me I need to settle down like
you did?” I asked.
Landon shook his head, enamored with the sight of his sleeping
daughter. Even though she was several months old by now, he looked at
Cora-Jean as if it was the first time he laid eyes on her.
“I know better than that, Beau. Wouldn’t waste my breath.”
I couldn’t deny the slight sting of that. On one hand, I was relieved
that Landon didn’t try to change me, accepting the way I chose to live my
life. On the other hand, I almost wished he would tell me how much having
a wife and baby had changed his life for the better, and how much he
wanted the same for me, too.
