take it your brother and Cade are friends now?”
                  “Seem to be.”
                  “Cade’s hot,” Jennifer noted, her gaze locked on him.
                  Amanda studied his dark hair as the breeze played with it and considered his deep blue eyes and well-muscled torso.
                  “I guess he is,” she acknowledged for the first time.
                  “You guess?”
                  “I hadn’t really thought about it honestly,” she confessed with a shrug; but now that she had...
                  “How could you not with him living right there on the ranch and all?” Jennifer was staring at her incredulously.
                  “I guess that’s just it, he’s my brother’s friend and one of the hands,” Amanda offered in explanation.
                  “Whatever. You think Trent and Angie will hold it together as a couple after he leaves for school?”
                  “I don’t know; I know they’re crazy over each other but she still has a year of school left and Trent’s leaving…I guess time will tell.”
                  “I predict he’ll meet someone and one of the guys here will move in on Angie; she’s not got a shortage of male attention,” Jennifer threw a lock of long brown hair over her shoulder and watched as Trent dropped a kiss on Angie’s lips.             
                  “They are so totally sleeping together,” Jennifer remarked a moment later.
                  Amanda frowned and studied her brother and Angela a moment before answering. “You think so?”             
                  “Totally, it’s obvious.”
                  Amanda noted the way they looked at each other and how completely comfortable they were with each other. Jennifer might be right, she conceded.
                  “Dad’ll flip if she ends up pregnant,” Amanda predicted.
                  “Your dad’d flip? Have you met her father?” Jennifer waited expectantly for an answer.
                  “No.”
                  “He’s scary.”
                  “So’s mine when he’s riled. I’m going to move around a little,” Amanda stood and straightened her skirt. “I’ll see you around.”
                  “Sure,” Jennifer smiled as two of her friends rejoined her. Amanda moved back toward her brother’s table. She was stopped by an arm dropping onto her shoulder with enough force to make her stagger.
                  “You go to my scwhool, right?” a voice slurred in her ear.
                  Amanda looked up to find Jeff Jenkins grinning at her. He was cute, she had to admit, and she was flattered that he had taken notice of her; the raunchy breath she could do without.
                  “Right,” she felt a timid smile tilt her lips.
                  “Thought so,” swaying a little with the motion, he nodded.
                  Okay, so his being totally inebriated ruined his good looks, she decided.
                  “I know who you are!” Jeff suddenly looked inordinately pleased with his self. “You’re Trent’s little sister. You grew up,” his gaze swept down her body making her suddenly self-conscious. “You grew up nice,” Jeff’s smile widened as he tightened his arm around her neck to pull her closer until she was pressed against him. Amanda tried to gently extricate herself.
                  “What’s the rush, sweetheart,” Jeff’s face was now in hers.
                  “I’m hungry and I think my food’s arrived,” Amanda pushed against his chest.
                  “I’m hungry too,” he shared as he dropped his face to her neck to nuzzle
