Reunited With The Bull Rider. Christine Wenger

      “Big Dan isn’t concentrating on his rehab, Callie. He’s too damn distracted. He needs someone to take care of depositing his Social Security check. I’d do it, but office rules state we can’t take money from probationers. Oh, and Big Dan also wants someone to take periodic pictures of the ranch so he can see the progress made, but actually, Callie, I think he just wants someone to talk to him about the outside world—mostly about what his boys are doing. I have over a hundred probationers on my roster. I can’t be at Dan’s beck and call.”

      “I’m sure Reed’s going to feel like he should have this responsibility if he could drive, but until then, I’d be glad to help out.” She wrote diligently on a notebook page: deposit Social Sec check, talk, take pictures of ranch, etc.

      “Oh...and, Callie?”

      “Yes, Matty?”

      “Could you possibly get Reed to come up and see him, please? He’s at the Beaumont County Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facility. He needs company. Big Dan is about to go ballistic.”

      “I’m sure that Reed has been meaning to see Big Dan, but there’s been a lot of going on lately. I’ll be sure to pass along your message.”

      Soon after they hung up, Callie realized she had just become the personal assistant to Big Dan Beaumont.

      Callie was ready to explode with happiness. With the extra income, she could pay more money on her mortgage, keep up with monthly insurance premiums and add an extra payment on medical bills for her whole family and herself. Maybe she could even save for a new car.
