Chapter Fourteen

Ten days. Grady had been gone ten days and she could barely think about anything other than him. Charli had never found herself in a position where a man made her sloppy in her job.

Yet that had happened. Juanita had played her like a big fiddle and Charli had never seen it coming. Was that because she was so wrapped up in her infatuation with Grady?

And what about that…that place she went to when he drowned her? Her thoughts kept returning to that. So much so that she’d asked Jaxon Riggs to meet her at the Honky Tonk during the day when no one would be there but Cody and Hannah.

She got out of her car and spotted Jax sitting on one of the picnic tables in the grassy area beside the building. Charli walked over to him. “Thanks for making time to talk to me, Jax.”

“What are friends for?”

Charli was struck, as she always was, by his good looks, sexy as sin voice, and his good nature. He and Cody were perfect for one another. And made beautiful babies.

Like the one he held.

“Can I hold him?”

“Sure.” Jax waited until she sat, then handed her the baby.

“Hey there, beautiful boy.” She nuzzled Billy and grinned when he laughed. “God, he’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen.” That’s when she saw Bernice, sitting on a little patchwork quilt under the tree.

She had a big pair of red earphones clamped on her head and an electronic table clutched in both hands. “What’s Bernice up to?”

“Some kind of game she’s addicted to. She gets an hour in the morning and one in the evening, so don’t even speak to her while she’s playing or you’ll get a lecture about cutting into her time.”

Charli smiled. “Wouldn’t dream of it.”

“So, what did you want to talk about?”

“Actually, I was hoping you could introduce me to someone.”

“Sure, who?”

“Joe.”

It was obvious that the request surprised Jax. “Can I ask why?”

“Yes, of course.” Charli believed in honesty between friends, and Jax and Cody had been very good friends to her.

She told him what happened at Grady’s house, but didn’t mention Grady’s name. When she finished the tale, she added. “The way I see it, if anyone would know if what happened was real or just some weird oxygen deprivation hallucination, it would be Joe. He is an angel, isn’t he?”

“Yeah, that’s what we call him.”

“What does he call himself?”

“An angel, but not the kind I think you mean.”

“What other kind is there?”

“Heck if I know, but the point is, I’m not sure Joe would have the answer to that question. Still, I’ll introduce you if you want.”

Charli looked down at the baby in her arms. “Thanks. I…I don’t know if that’s what I want or if I’m just grasping at straws.”

“Well, the think that happened with your friend and the drowning. Did it do anything positive? Bring you peace or hope or comfort?”

Charli realized with a measure of surprise that it had. “Yes. I wonder why I
