Gut Feeling – Part 7
Nick and Tess were back on track now. It hadn't taken long for them to sort things out and get back to their normal married life.
Tess was trying to put the rodeo behind her, trying not to think about it. But it wasn't working. Something in her heart was telling her not to let go of the idea that it was indeed Claire she had seen that day.
But how could she resume her search after everything she had put herself and Nick through? Could she gamble her marriage like that again?
"I'm off, Tess"
She looked up from the task of milking Madonna to find the very man she had been thinking about.
"The farmers council meeting," He told her.
"Oh!" A light bulb switched on in Tess' head "I'm sorry I totally forgot that was today"
He laughed and bent down to kiss her goodbye, "I'll see you when I get back"
As she watched him walk away she realized that the gamble just wasn't worth the risk.
