Chapter 15

Misty's hands were no longer shaking, but damn, she didn't want to miss the target. This was more fun than she thought it would be, but slightly nerve-racking in the same breath. It was kind of like they were playing with fire—or putting fires out. She'd surprised herself when she'd had the nerve to ask him about Caroline. Misty had been torn for so many years when it came to Caroline and David’s relationship that it would have taken a miracle to keep that question bottled up inside. One minute she’d swear to God Himself that David had been intimate with Caroline, and the very next minute she’d swear the opposite. Misty figured if they’d had sex, Caroline would have boasted about it by now, just like Abby had said, so Misty decided to believe him.

Besides, he had never outright lied to her before. It was time to finally put that assumption about him and Caroline to rest and move on. Now she wanted to know something even more important.

Back in the day when they'd gone hunting together, she could have shot the tail end off a deer. But this wasn't a rifle, and her arms felt like noodles. Unfortunately she was shooting like crap.

Knowing she was a good shot, and that she just had to acclimate herself to the new weapon, she took her time. She relaxed into the shot like she'd watched David do, and slowly pulled the trigger back. The .45 had a kick to it, so she wasn’t super confident that she’d hit her target at all, but when she glanced at the paper, she saw that she'd nailed it. In fact, the paper was just floating in the air to land on the grass.

“When did you get so good?” David asked.

She smiled. Hell, she'd always been good.

She hoped her question didn't set a bad tone for the rest of the evening, but she had to know. The question had bugged her ever since the day of the tornado. “You said you loved me all your life.” Same here, by the way. “Why didn't you ever ask me on a date?”

Nothing but the unnerving quiet of the prairie. He glanced at the hay bale and the paper on the ground, then back at her, and looked at the ground around his feet.

“Is it that complicated?” she asked. She knew the answer to that. Hell yes it was complicated. Looking at the two of them back in the day, you’d have sworn they’d been a couple. Only they hadn’t kissed. Hadn’t dated. Hadn’t crossed the thinnest shred of a line until that night in his Ford. For the life of her, she couldn’t really understand why. It wasn’t as though she hadn’t thought about him that way a million times after puberty had hit. And now that they’d started down this path, she figured he must have felt the same way. He’d said as much.

“Just wondering where I should start. You were my best friend's sister, for one.
