Chapter 21

Callie

THE CLOCK ON THE WALL ticked louder. Faster.

Keyed up, Callie stared at the ledger in front of her. After tallying the final hours for Kent and writing out his final check, she couldn't make herself put an end date on his employment at Moore's Gas Station.

The thought of him not being in her life hurt her heart in ways she'd never expected. All week, she'd tried to convince herself that her reluctance to see him leave had to do with him being the only person who treated her with respect. After three years of being the town slut, ostracized by the community, she finally had someone in her life. Knowing that friendship would end, and she'd once again be alone and the butt of everyone's talk, depressed her.

But the pain of him leaving was about more than losing a friend.

She would miss the feelings that Kent gave her. What he brought out in her was stronger than the numbness left from her dad's death. Around him, she could feel the butterflies, the excitement, the happiness.

He gave her hope and made her remember that she was alive.

She slammed the ledger closed. It was on the tip of her tongue to ask him to stay in Missoula or come back and see her.

She wouldn't do that, though.

She wouldn't steal the part of his life that made him happy. He loved traveling and the open road. That's all he knew and the way he preferred to live.

He was a biker, and though he claimed to enjoy working with her, he deserved to be free.

Kent had fulfilled her dad's wish that he stay and look after her. She was going to be okay.

She no longer believed her life was over because she'd lost her dad. Tomorrow would come, and the next day, the next week, the next year.

The bell over the door rang. She put the ledger under the counter and looked up.

Harvey Cramer strutted toward her, eyeing her from head to waist. "Looking good, Callie."

She bristled. "Do you need gas?"

"I need..." He leaned over the counter, gazing at her breasts. "More than gas."

She stared at him, waiting. He'd always been a leech, sucking any kind of positivity out of a room.

"It's getting cold at night." He lowered his voice. "Do you think you could fit me into your schedule."

She pressed her lips together. Nothing ever changed.

"Hell, I could even swing by your place early in the morning for a quickie." Harvey wiggled his bushy eyebrows. "What do you say, Callie?"

"She says...get the fuck out of here." Kent appeared behind Harvey.

Harvey straightened and turned. Kent's fist went back and shot forward in a blink of an eye. Callie gasped before Harvey hit the floor.

Kent picked Harvey up by the front of his shirt as if he weighed no more than a case of beer. "Go ahead and spread it around that anyone thinks they can treat Callie that way will get the same treatment."

Callie held her breath. She'd never seen Kent lash out that way and lose his temper.
