Escort

“Oh, Katie.” Con lets out a long breath. “Jason’s a good guy, and he’s got a lot going for him. No one could blame you for the way you feel.” He thinks about her question and shakes his head. “How did I deal with Haley? Not easily, I’ll say that, and yes…it hurt like the dickens to see her with David. But…I valued her friendship enough to one, let her be happy, and two, to remain a friend. At least I still got to see her.” He turns his head to look at Katie. “But that’s me…and you’re your own person. …It’ll be alright though…I can promise that. No matter what happens, the pain will subside.” He rises to his feet and nods towards the trail. “Now I’m ready to hit the hay, but I’m not leaving you out here by yourself, so…will you escort me back to the ranch?”
