He’d been in town for a week. Randi was trying to remember the last time Nolan had stuck around that long. When he’d first started the book last summer, he’d been here for a couple of weeks. But usually, he was in and out in a weekend. Four days at the most.

She hadn’t realized she’d been paying that much attention.

But apparently she had, because she knew this was the second longest he’d ever stayed in Bad since graduating.

It wasn’t just his mother’s words at The Bad Egg the other day that had Randi thinking about it either. It had been on her mind almost constantly since he’d asked her to the Valentine’s Dance. Why was he staying? He had to have most of the book done by now. She was just helping fill in football details. There was no way he actually wanted to go to the dance at the community center. She’d never been, but the fact that she’d heard zero details about it in years past, meant it wasn’t noteworthy. So that couldn’t be the reason Nolan was hanging around.

She did wonder what Teresa thought of Nolan sticking around though. Especially after her comment about how he was only here in between projects. He was still working on the book. That wasn’t between projects. Did Teresa know that he was here because of the book and that Randi was helping him?

It wasn’t a secret that Teresa Winters thought Bad was beneath her brilliant son. Frankly, she thought Bad was beneath her whole family. Except for her no-good, scumball, lying, cheating ex-husband. All terms she’d used to describe him in multiple public places over the years.

Teresa was the most critical person in town and very few people truly liked her. Especially those who had spent their lives in Bad and loved it. She was an outsider. She’d come to town a little over thirty years ago with her husband, a Bad boy who had met her when he was going to school in Dallas.

He’d, apparently, never been forgiven for getting her pregnant right away and bringing her to Bad. He’d also, apparently, not been able to take living with her for more than six years. He’d left her behind in Bad and had never looked back.

Randi felt a little sorry for Teresa, but it was hard not to grit her teeth around the woman. It seemed that nothing was ever good enough. Teresa showed up to school board meetings, city council meetings, Chamber of Commerce meetings. And she always had a complaint. There was always something that someone was doing wrong or not doing enough of or doing too much of. Randi had heard most of it second-hand through the rumor mill, from her mother, or in the shop. Randi wasn’t really the school board type. But, as a business owner in Bad, she’d witnessed Teresa’s negativity at more than one Chamber meeting.

It was sad, really. Teresa had some good ideas, and she wasn’t wrong when she
