Chapter 25

Levi

“Rocky!” Linda gasped, horrified. “You can’t—”

“What?!” Levi stared at his father, horrified, just sure he hadn’t heard right. The universe had thrown a lot at him in the last three hours – understatement of the century – so maybe his brain was startin’ to make shit up, wholesale.

Next, he was going to imagine that Rocky was actually the King of England and Levi was his heir.

Totally seemed possible in that moment.

“I always thought God had a real sense of humor,” Rocky said, chuckling, seemingly oblivious to the astonishment swirling through the room at his idea. “I get three sons.” He began ticking it off on his fingers. “One runs off and joins the military, one refuses to marry a beautiful woman, and one is a hard worker who says ‘Yes, sir,’ ‘No, sir,’ ‘Right away, sir.’ And guess which one I can’t claim publicly.” He shook his head ruefully. “And then the hard-working one is the one who ends up falling in love with the beautiful woman!” Involuntarily, Levi shot a glance over at Tennessee. How did Rocky know they were dating? Before he could reason that out or ask any questions, Rocky continued on. “You couldn’t make this shit up if ya tried. So, as I figure it, God wants you to have the dealership.”

Levi blinked, and then blinked again.

He was in shock again.

A small part of his brain knew it, even though it didn’t exactly help to know it. His mind just spun around and around.

I’m in shock. I have a father and it isn’t Steve Scranton. Rocky wants me to change my name. Rocky wants me to take over the dealership. I’m in shock. Is this what Alice felt when she fell down the rabbit hole? Why am I thinking about Alice in Wonderland right now? I’m in shock.

“Sir…Rocky, I can’t…I can’t take over the dealership,” he finally sputtered out. “It’s Moose’s…he’s worked his whole life for it.”

“I am not giving the dealership to him,” Rocky retorted, throwing a disgusted look at Moose, who was still standing next to his wife at the base of the stairs. “He defied me and made me look like a damn idiot in front of the whole town. Plus, he’s gone off to work at Massey-Ferguson.” He said the name of the competing tractor company with a sneer. “No loyalty at all.”

Levi’s back snapped straight up. “That’s where you’re wrong,” he retorted, staring his father straight in the eye, unflinching. Finally, the fog in his mind cleared enough for him to argue back against the worst idea known to man. “Moose is the best thing that’s ever happened to you. He’s worked his ever-lovin’ ass off for you and that dealership. I’d never take it from him.”

“You ain’t takin’ it from him ‘cause it ain’t his!” Rocky slammed his fist into his open palm. “I’d rather chop off my right arm than give the dealership to Deere.”

“Then,” Levi snarled, “you best get to work on choppin’.”

He was done. His brain, his soul, his ability to think or breathe properly…he couldn’t handle it anymore.
