MCCALL COULDN’T BELIEVE all the things she was supposed to do just to get married, and said as much to her fiancé, Luke, later that afternoon.

“We could elope,” he suggested.

She looked at him to see if he was serious, because at that moment she would have taken him up on it.

He quickly shook his head as if he knew her too well. “It’s going to be a beautiful wedding that we will remember the rest of our lives.”

She laughed. “That’s what I’m afraid of.”

He pulled her into his arms. “You deserve this wedding.”

“Still scaring me. I know you’re worried about what my grandmother might be up to as much as I am.”

“Honey,” he said after kissing her. “We’re getting married at the Winchester Ranch. It’s what your father would have wanted, and if you don’t go through with it, your mother will never forgive you.”

That convinced her. Ruby would never forgive her. “You’re right.”

“Not to mention your grandmother seems more excited about your wedding than anyone—even us. I really think she wants to welcome you to the family.”

“I went to pick out flowers. Luke, there are too many decisions to make without some help.”

He looked panicked, as if he was worried she would ask him to go along. “How about your mother?”

“Ruby?” McCall cried. “She’d want plastic flowers, large, bright ones.”

“You need to give your mother more credit.”

“You think? The other day she suggested that she thought it would be cool if she and I had a double wedding at the ranch.”

“Are she and Red to that point?”

McCall shrugged. Her mother had been dating Red for a few months, longer than most of her boyfriends lasted. “Can you imagine what my grandmother would have to say about Ruby getting married at the ranch? It’s going to be nerve-racking enough just having Ruby and Pepper in the same room for our wedding.”

“They both want you to be happy. Neither would dream of spoiling the wedding.”

She wished she shared his optimism.

“I heard there was a break-in at Second Hand Kate’s.”

She told him about it and about her cousin Cyrus’s dream—and the murdered nurse going by the name of Candace Porter.

“Are you telling me he saw a murder that happened thirty years ago while he was in a coma?” Luke asked, looking as skeptical as she’d first felt.

“A woman was murdered who, according to her niece, looks exactly like her aunt,” McCall said. “But that isn’t the worst part of all this. I suspect there is something Cyrus is holding back. I think it might be the killer’s motive.”
