laugh when they all met her and saw he had not hired a sex toy.
After hanging his hat by the kitchen door, he arrived in the kitchen to find White Bear, Raul, Mario, Rod, and Jaelon all seated at the table. Wilfred used the downstairs bathroom to freshen up and he could hear Gianni telling some tall tale. No one believed a word the young upstart was saying which was a distraction because no one noticed when Elsie had entered the room. White Bear had risen from the table to refill his coffee cup and raised his hand to Gianni, all the while making eye contact with Elsie and asked, “How?”
Elsie had never seen a real live Indian before and assumed the gigantic man was speaking to her since he was making eye contact. She raised her hand as if reciting the pledge of allegiance and responded, “How!” Everyone turned to see her and Gianni was the first to speak. “Hey, lady.” He smiled a boyish grin and walked over to take her by the arm and guide her over to the table, not missing a beat and still chattering on. “He was talking to me, but maybe you can help me win this argument.”
She wanted the floor to open and swallow her whole because she had just made a racist comment without even realizing it. White Bear walked over to her and she thought he was going to smack her for the insult or scalp her, but instead he extended a massive paw that completely engulfed her hand.
Scalp me… that is racist too. Oh Gosh Dang it. I am a racist
.
“How,” he paused to make her feel even smaller than she already did just by standing in his shadow, “do you do? And I do speak English.” She dropped her head in shame and he gave her a light punch in the arm. Raul introduced himself, then Rod and Mario. Conchetta began to cry and Jaelon began to chatter on about something as she dragged Elsie from Gianni’s clutches and White Bear’s grip to the table to be seated beside her. “Why are you crying,” Elsie asked Conchetta. Whatever the housekeeper said in Spanish must have been inappropriate because Raul, Mario, White Bear and Wilfred all gawked at her in disbelief.
Gianni broke the weird moment by making it weirder, “That was awkward. I guess you don’t speak Spanish, huh, Lady?”
Elsie shook her head no and the men all breathed a sigh of relief.
Wilfred tried not to stare at the interloper, but she was immediately accepted by everyone. She toyed over her dinner, seemingly uncomfortable under everyone’s gaze, all the while laughing with Jaelon, listening intently to Gianni, talking with Mario, eyeing Rod with curiosity… and avoiding looking at him. Wilfred was pleased that his ad hoc family had gone out of their way to make her feel welcomed into this new environment. Each wanting to share their favorite parts of the ranch. Gianni couldn’t wait to show her the greenhouse. Jaelon was excited to show her the new workspace. Mario was anxious to teach her to ride. Conchetta was happy to have another

in the house. White Bear added well-timed grunts. Who knew what the heck Raul was talking about, but one thing was certain, they were all excited she was here.
With dinner over, Elsie helped Conchetta clear the table. Gianni explained the recycling bins in the kitchen. Rod said goodnight and headed to the guesthouse. Jaelon caught a ride with him. Elsie was yawning.
She finally looked at Wilfred to say, “What a day. I think I’m going to turn in early so I can be ready to get started in the morning.” She added as she and Champ headed towards the stairs, “I have a great deal to learn before Ms. Devons returns.”
She had not flirted with him. There were not any subtle advances. Wilfred could not remember the last time he was in the presence of a female, non-family member who wasn’t trying to get into his pants. This was a new experience for him. Based on his understanding, the only women who did not have a reaction to him were lesbians.
