Montana Midwife. Cassie Miles
Ranch and everything that happens here is my responsibility.”
He spoke with calm conviction as though his words were indisputable. When Aiden’s father died, he took on that mantle. The buck stopped with him. He was the protector, the caretaker and the final authority, even though his mother had taken over the day-to-day chores and the running of the ranch.
Seeing Aiden with his head bowed made her realize that he wasn’t the perfect, ideal man she’d cherished in her memories. He was real. He suffered just like any other man. Beneath his strength was a thick layer of sadness. He’d given up everything for his family. Somehow, that made him even more attractive to her. She wanted to comfort him and tell him that everything was going to be all right.
“Let me handle the sheriff,” she said. “If Misty is under too much stress, I’ll call an end to the questioning.”
He looked doubtful. “What if—”
“Stop,” she said quietly. “There’s only one thing that needs to happen. Misty has to tell the truth.”
“That’s what scares me.”
His fear touched her.
