Georgia Moon pressed her hands on the sink in the ladies’ room and stared at her reflection. She took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. She knew Luke had done and said some questionable things.

He had the kind of reason that while it didn’t make his actions okay, she had to remember that his heart was in the right place.

That said, it still stung that after they’d shared a bed, he hadn’t told her about his testimony today. JW told her there were things she might not know about and that there could be a lot of mudslinging. Not only that, but Luke might not have been able to discuss certain things. Although she’d known about the horses and all the rumors flying around about who actually had them injected, it was still a bit of a shock to hear it all rehashed.

But it was the knowledge that Luke had been the one that set the ball rolling for her brother’s arrest.

She stepped from the bathroom in search of Luke, but instead she found her brother JW, instead.

“Hanging in there?” JW asked.

She reached out and ran a finger over the knot of his tie. “You dress up real nice.”

“And you’re doing whatever it takes to stay off the subject of Luke and his testimony.” JW looped his arm over her shoulders and led her down the long corridor. “Just because he put the idea in Bella’s head to have me arrested, doesn’t mean he meant it or wanted it to happen.”

“Did he tell you he made that suggestion?”

“When I returned from Baltimore the first time with Kitty, that’s when he broke down and told me everything.”

“All that time you spent defending yourself and he could have spoken up,” she said, shaking her head.

“It wasn’t that simple for him, and you know it.” JW pushed open the heavy doors to the courtyard in the back of the justice hall. “Up until Bella came out with the truth, Robert had him between a rock and a hard place. His sister was about to give birth and her loser husband was still in the picture. Not to mention, he had him over the coals with the dead horse. Until Luke had been able to uncover the truth, he didn’t have a leg to stand on.”

“Why did Bella admit to what happened? It seemed that was the beginning of the end for Robert.” The sun hit Georgia Moon’s face, and the warm air rolled over her exposed skin. She found a seat at one of the empty picnic tables. The sound of a hawk screeched out overhead. She glanced to the sky with her hand covering her eyes. She’d wanted to ask that question so many times, but JW had insisted they put all of that behind them and focus on their bright future.

But now that the trial had commenced, it tore everything open.

“I really don’t know, except to say that she does have a mood disorder, and she does things impulsively.
