won’t be the same.”
    “You’ll never make it.” Tess laughed. “Cookies make up half of your calorie intake each day.”
    “It just takes willpower.” Sally frowned at the envelope in her hand. “I know I can do without cookies, but I’m worried about Max.”
    Annie patted Muggles. “Max shouldn’t eat cookies. It’s bad for his health.”
    Tess laughed. “I’ve seen what Sally feeds him. Believe me, cookies don’t get anywhere near his bowl.”
    Molly frowned. “So if Max isn’t eating cookies, what’s wrong with him? I thought you were taking him out to Todd’s ranch?”
    “I did.” Sally watched Muggles wrap his super fluffy body around Annie’s legs. “Max was happy to stay there, but I’m not so sure that Todd’s the right person to look after him.”
    “What’s wrong with him?” Annie asked.
    “I don’t know. He just doesn’t seem like the type of person who’d want a big dog around.”
    Molly passed Sally a cookie. “You can start your cookie-free diet tomorrow. It sounds to me as though you’re missing Max. Why don’t you ask Todd if you can visit him?”
    Sally put the cookie back on the plate. “He’ll think I’m strange. No one visits a dog they’ve adopted out.”
    “I think it’s a great idea,” Tess said. “What have you got to lose?”
    Sally thought about visiting Max. Todd already thought she was over-protective of the big Irish wolfhound, so he might not be surprised with her weird request. She just wished she’d thought of it before she’d left his ranch. “Todd will think I’m paranoid.”
    Molly took an envelope out of the box. “You can’t be any more paranoid than the rest of us. We’ve just been planning how we’re going to reply to every bridesmaid’s letter so we don’t miss someone out. A lot of people wouldn’t care.”
    Sally changed her mind about a cookie. Molly was right - her diet could wait until tomorrow. “Who cares what Todd Randall thinks? I’ll give him a call tomorrow and go and see Max.” She bit into the chocolate chip cookie and smiled. “At least Max will be glad to see me.”
    Tess picked up her coffee mug and saluted Sally. “Here’s to happy reunions, and to Annie and Dylan, proof that true love is closer than we think. Whoever said life gets dull and boring in Bozeman needs to see what happens in our lives.”
    “I’ll second that,” Sally said. Whether Todd Randall knew it or not, she was about to spend more time on his ranch. And she had a feeling he wouldn’t be impressed.

    “What are you doing here?” Todd stood beside the four-wheeler he’d been driving. With his hands planted on his hips, he looked about as happy as Sally thought he’d be.
    She closed the door of her truck with a bang. “I thought I’d visit Max.”
    “Did you consider calling first?”
    Sally had been feeling guilty about not calling him ever since she’d left town. But that hadn’t stopped her roaring along the highway toward his ranch. “I thought I could spend time with Max without bothering you. Am I interrupting something?”
    Todd tilted his hat to the back of his head. He had a scowl a mile wide on his too-handsome face. “Does it look as though you are?”
    Sally’s gaze traveled over his dirt-stained t-shirt and worn jeans. He looked hot and bothered, and too much of everything that she didn’t want to think about. “It looks as though you’ve been working hard. I brought you something.” She opened the back door of her truck and took out a plastic container. Before she could change her mind, she passed it to him.
    He glanced at her before taking the lid off. “Muffins?”
    “Raspberry and chocolate. I’m sorry for not calling. I guess I was worried that you’d say no.”
    “So the muffins are a bribe?”
    Sally shrugged her shoulders. “More like a peace offering. I made them as soon as school finished. I thought you’d probably be back home by now and not halfway
