Jolene never imagined there would be so many people crowding the parking lot of what was once Billy's Bar. She rode with Annie and Riley and they had a hard time finding a place to park. Riley took his guitar case from the truck since he was playing with his band and he and Annie headed off to find out where they were setting up. Jolene promised to catch up with them later.

Jolene had enjoyed the dinner. She and Annie hit it right off, and she wished that Cotton Creek were not simply a pit stop for her. She'd already made two new friends in Cody and Annie and it made her long to have that as more than a temporary thing.

Her phone chimed, and she pulled it out of her back pocket. She smiled as she saw who it was. Jayce.

"Hey cowboy."

"Hey beautiful. Where are you?"

"At Billy's."

"Well so am I. The band is setting up on the foundation and there's cold beer."

"On my way."

As she wandered through the crowd, she was greeted by people she knew from eating at the bakery or local restaurants. She saw Jason and waved. He tipped his hat to her with a smile then resumed a conversation with two other men. She scanned the crowd, searching for JD, but didn't spot him.

"Hey!"

She turned at the sound of Jayce's voice behind her. "Well hey there, cowboy. You sure clean up good."

He grinned at her and she was struck by just how handsome he was. "You look beautiful."

Jolene laughed. "Flatterer."

"Just call it like I see it, darlin'. Want a beer?"

"Maybe later. Just finished dinner and am stuffed."

"Whatever you want. So, how're you liking Cotton Creek?"

"I like it. A lot. The people are nice, it seems like a good place to live, and there's a sense of community here that you don't find much anymore."

"Yeah, it is nice. Not that I have much to compare, mind you. Aside from college, been here my whole life."

"No desire to leave?"

"No. Well, maybe once. But I got married and Carson came along and… well, you know."

"I met your son. He's such a handsome young man. Like his father. And really sweet."

"Yeah, I think all the boys have a crush on you."

She laughed. "Oh?"

Jayce smiled. "Yeah, no offense, but Carson said you'd make the perfect Indian princess."

"Well, I'm flattered. You must be proud of him. I hear he's very smart, does well in school, and looks to be following in his cousins' footsteps when it comes to football."

"Yeah, the boy loves to play ball. All kinds. I don't know that he'll ever settle on one sport though."

"So, let me ask if it's not too personal. Where's his mother?"

"Nathalie? She lit out when he was two. Haven't seen or heard from her since."

"That had to have been hard, raising him by yourself."

"Naw. I mean life always has challenges, but like Pop always said, if you want something you find time for it, and if you don't, you find excuses. I want to be a good dad and Carson makes that easy.
