CHAPTER 10

Harry was still seething when the sun came up the next morning. He was itching to find a place in Harmony Falls with a punching bag where he could vent his frustrations, but he decided to settle for a good, hard run up a mountain instead.

How the hell had things gone so wrong last night? He wasn’t sure which of the barbs he and Bea had traded before going their separate ways hurt worse, his or hers. Knowing he’d hurt her feelings pained Harry almost as much as her shocking low blow had cut him.

Maybe he should’ve kept his mouth shut about her amateurish lack of strategy for attacking the problem of taking over her grandfather’s farm. But she, in turn, had sent him reeling with her observation about his father-son relationship with Curt.

He just couldn’t believe she had thrown it in his face like that, after he’d confided in her about his most personal secret. What kind of person did that? he wondered, hurt and angry, and still stewing from the moment he woke up, just as he’d brooded on it all night long.

The worst part was that some small corner of his brain wondered if she might be right. Was that why he overlooked so much of Curt’s crazy? Forgave the lapses in judgment, went the extra mile and then some, every time?

Most guys in his position probably would’ve checked out long ago. But no, Harry defended himself and his eccentric boss. He genuinely liked the old guy despite his flaws. The Texan had a big heart, a pretty wicked sense of humor, an inspiring can-do attitude. He gave a lot to charity…

Oh, fuck it. With no patience to figure it out or to try finding a boxing gym in this pain-in-the-ass town, Harry pulled on his workout gear and left his room. Soon he’d head back to Pittsburgh and shake the dust of Harmony Falls off his feet—she was the one who’d ordered him to leave town, after all.

What a waste of time. He wished he’d never seen this place, or Beatrice Palmer. But facing Curt wasn’t going to be much fun when he got back to the city. Harry couldn’t believe he’d struck out both with the deal and the lady.

Somehow on the drive home he’d have to figure out a way to make his failure here sound like a good thing. At least the old man should be mollified to hear he could now return to Silver Oaks. Yeah, that’s how he’d frame it. “Look, Curt, I just saved you a million dollars.”

Then he put his high-maintenance boss and the sharp-tongued little spitfire out of his mind as best he could, eager to lose himself in his workout. As he left through the lobby, Sharon directed him to the jogging trail.

“Nice time last night?” the plump woman asked.

Harry pretended not to hear her, already putting in his earbuds. As he stepped outside of the Sweetwater Inn, expecting the same chill in the air there had been for the last day or so, he was surprised to find it sweltering.
