Fifteen

Beau stewed in his office, though he knew his mother and her boyfriend had arrived. He couldn’t tell Lily about the phone call from the Sheriff in Jackson Hole, not on Thanksgiving.

He’d seen Kent the previous evening, but by the time he’d gotten home, it was too late to call Beau.

Sheriff Glamp hadn’t seemed too concerned about Kent, and apparently he’d only been in town for a day or two. Perhaps he was visiting the area for the holidays. The Sheriff said he’d keep an eye on things and see if he could question Kent to know the true intent of his presence in Jackson Hole.

But Beau knew the reason. Kent had somehow tracked Lily to the area, and it was only a matter of time before he came to Coral Canyon.

His heart beat heavily beneath his ribs, and Beau turned toward his laptop to try to figure a few things out just as his mother appeared in his doorway. “Hey, baby.”

“Mom.” Beau remembered it was Thanksgiving, and he was about to have a lodge-full of company for dinner. Not only that, but Lily would be meeting most of them for the first time. It was not the first time he’d had a client at a holiday meal, and his family was great.

More noise came down the hall, indicating someone else had arrived. By the sound of things, it was Graham and Laney and their kids.

He gave his mother a hug, and said, “Did you bring Jason?”

“Yes, he’s currently sampling the turkey to make sure it’s edible.” She laughed and pulled away. “I met Lily. She seems nice.”

“She is nice,” he said, wondering if he should treat Lily like the girlfriend she was or if he should pretend they had a purely professional relationship. They hadn’t had a chance to discuss any of that, so he went into the kitchen blindly.

Sure enough, Graham and Laney were both there, laughing with Celia about something. Lily stood off to the side, a smile stuck to her face in an odd way, and Beau made a beeline for her. “Did you meet everyone?”

“Sort of,” she said.

Beau turned back to the crowd, wondering if he should make a big announcement or just let her meet people more organically.

Andrew chose that moment to arrive, so Beau kept his mouth shut. Becca put down several bottles of sparkling cider, and she and Andrew came right over to Beau.

“Hey,” Andrew said. “We need to reschedule that movie night.” He cut a glance at Lily, his public relations smile in place. “I’m Andrew, Beau’s brother.”

Lily shook his hand, her grin becoming a bit more authentic. “Lily Everett.”

“This is my wife, Becca.” Andrew slung his arm around Becca, and Beau marveled at how far they’d come in such a short time. He knew Andrew’s path to the perfect romance hadn’t been easy, but still. He’d managed to complete it. Beau couldn’t seem to be able to take those final steps, with any of the women he’d dated over the years.
