Chapter 21

The same gang at the bowling alley the next night, much to Kelly’s annoyance. She still didn’t know who had been driving. Did they even know? Were they too drunk to keep track of who had been driving? It had been a close call and she was guarded by nature. Yeah, she’d enjoy a drink or two every now and then. But mature while still youthful, Kelly appreciated a fine line between “accidents” and stupidity. Drunk-driving a boat when people were skiing nearby fell under the category of really stupid.

Shutting it out of her mind, she focused on her chores. Not on the fact that Will had come to the bowling alley. She’d never seen him there before.

It was a busy night, with some kind of a class reunion going on. She had opted for jeans so people wouldn’t stare at her leg like motorists slowing down to gawk at car collisions for the hope of a head rolling on pavement. And it wasn’t a horrendous wound. She had decided she didn’t even need stitches, only some bandages. Heather agreed after Kelly had texted her a picture, and it was the extent of medical reasoning she deemed pertinent. But it still would have been nice to stay off her feet for the night.

“How you doing, Kel?” Clay asked as she dropped off a pizza to them. Another first, she actually saw Will drinking. They all were. But Will seemed doubly cranky.

“Good as I get,” she said and took off, ignoring Jaycee’s glare as they passed. She assumed they despised her for interrupting their party time. As Will had been with Jaycee before he had jumped in the lake after her, it was no wonder Jaycee seemed miffed.

Drinking seemed to be the number one attraction of the night, not the bowling. Kelly didn’t know if it was because Jaycee kept slacking to hang out with the guys, but Alan was behind the bar and in the kitchen.

Her feet took her everywhere. Pizzas to this lane. Beers to that one. Lane three was jammed. Pins were stuck in lane seven. Mick had somehow got his foot stuck in the gutter of lane two. Busy was an understatement.

She was refilling beers at the bar when Will approached her. He sat on the stool and studied her. Staring contest? She gave him a cool gaze right back, not letting him know how much his brown eyes melted her.

“How’s your leg?” he finally said.

“Fine.” Kelly knocked the tap off and put another glass up. Jaycee hurried back to the bar, opting for Will’s attention since he was done hiding from society for the time being. He was a single available man on the market, and Jaycee seemed determined to get first dibs. “As fine as it can be since I can see the bone.”

Her resolve weakened at his almost smile.

“Ha. Ha.” Jaycee sneered. Then she turned her seduction act on Will. “How are you doing, honey?”

Kelly shook her head as she took off with the drinks.
