Chapter Two

Andy leaned on the doorjamb with his fingers wrapped around a mug of hot coffee. Spirals of steam curled up into the air. This was what he missed—the chicory flavor of good, strong brew like only his Memaw could make. He needed the eye-opening caffeine after his run-in with Silacious.

She almost drove over his foot as she backed her car up when he dropped his bag in the trunk. Then she put the vehicle in drive as he was opening the passenger door. He had to jog and jump in the seat before the automobile picked up speed.

It was a tense ride to his grandmother’s house. There was so much he wanted to say but couldn’t find a way to start a conversation. Instead, he stole glances at her profile.

Silacious was still a beautiful woman. Home, she’d stopped long enough for him to exit the car. He didn’t get a chance to claim his overnight bag from her trunk before she revved the engine and sent the tires spinning, spraying the tiny pebbles that made up the driveway. Memaw hadn’t been home to witness his unceremonious drop-off or he would have never heard the end of it. He suspected that his ex-girlfriend held a special place in the old woman’s heart.

His Memaw’s ancient ramshackle house was dark, but the spare key was where she always kept it and when he held the screen door open to unlock the front door he’d found the note.

Welcome home, I left your dinner on a plate in the oven. See you later.

Andy made himself at home, and had the gumbo his Memaw left before finding one of his old T-shirts in his untouched room to sleep in. Coming back to Houma was like walking through a time portal. Seemed like nothing changed but him.

He glanced down. His bag was sitting on the step. Andy ambled down the stairs and hefted up the duffle. He twisted around looking for Silacious. Huh. The sun was just rising; when had she stopped by to return his luggage? He took a long sip of his lukewarm coffee and stared into the mist rising off the lake in front of the house.

Silacious still had a temper, but all those years ago he wasn’t the one who cheated. At least Dante had been man enough to tell him what was going on.

Andy retreated up the steps. Fate was a bitch; back then he thought he’d spend the rest of his life with Silacious.

They were the only ones left in the locker room after football practice.

Nothing unusual for them to be the last two there—Dante was a mirror hog and he liked to take his time to make sure his appearance was just so. His friend was dating cheerleaders from three different schools.

It was hard enough for Andy to try and satisfy Silacious; no way could he juggle more than one girlfriend. That night he had special plans with her. He opened his locker and pulled out the small ring box he’d hidden deep on the back shelf.
