PAISLEY
LEAVE IT TO ME TO BE LATE, BUT IT COULDN’T BE HELPED.
Gathering the straps of the reusable grocery bags, I slung them over my
shoulder and shifted my cell to my other ear as I hustled out the automatic
doors of the small grocery store.
“You know I don’t have many details,” I told my bestie Dakota as I
jogged toward my old truck in the parking lot, my boots thudding hard on
the pavement. I pinned my phone between my ear and shoulder so I could
dig my keys from my bag. “You know Ryder got me the gig. Some cousin
he doesn’t know all that well has a little girl who got her first pony, and she
needs to learn how to ride it. Easy peasy.”
Extra cash in my pocket. Exactly what I needed.
“Are you sure you don’t just want to come and work with me at the
café? We’re slammed this morning. I could really use the extra help.”
A small chuckle got free. “Which is why you’re wasting your time on
the phone with me?”
“Hello, bestie duties. I needed to get the details before you run off to
some rando stranger’s house in the middle of nowhere. You haven’t even
talked to the guy. You could end up dead in a ditch somewhere. Buried in a
shallow grave. Locked in an attic or basement with some freak telling you
that you’re his new pet.”
I could physically feel Dakota shudder through the phone. She was so
dramatic.
“You really should stop listening to true crime podcasts before you go to
bed at night. Your paranoia is getting out of control. Besides, this is Ryder’s
cousin we’re talking about. He isn’t going to send me to some serial killer’s
house.”
At least I hoped so because it was super odd this guy had only
communicated through email, all formal and calling me Ms. Dae, referring
to himself as Mr. Greyson as he gave me the precise time to show at his
ranch.
What a weirdo.
As far as I knew, Ryder had spent summers with him growing up, but
they hadn’t seen that much of each other as adults, and the mysterious Mr.
Greyson had moved into Time River about six months back. In all that time,
I didn’t think anyone had ever even met the guy, which considering the size
of the town we lived in, that was on the questionable side.
He had to be some kind of recluse, I guessed.
“It’s fine,” I told her. “You know Ryder wouldn’t lead me astray.”
“Okay, just text me as soon as you’re done. I want all the details. Or
wait, come into the café so you can tell me face-to-face. Even better.”
A giggle slipped up my throat. “You missed me while I was away,
didn’t you?”
“I won’t even try to deny it. This town was boring as crap without you.”
Regret pulled at my ribcage. The intense kind because you could never
make up for time that had passed or the things you had missed. But I
couldn’t wallow in the mistakes that I had made, I could only make sure I
never repeated them again.
“I promise you will be bored no more,” I said like a solemn oath.
“Mack’s Friday night?”
These cowgirl boots were made for dancing, and I was about to set them
free.
“Um, you could not keep me away. Kayden is having a sleepover at my
mom’s, and this girl is ready to get her party on.”
Dakota’s son was almost two. He’d been born while I’d been living in
Arizona. It was just another thing I’d missed—being there when he was an
infant, being there for my best friend.
“I can’t wait,” I told her. “I gotta run. I just picked up my grandpa’s
medication and need to drop it off at his house before I head out to this
interview, and I’m wicked late already.”
“Give your grandpa a hug for me.”
“Will do. Talk to you soon, Doodle-Boo.”
