Chapter Nine

Wednesday morning dawned as the perfect spring day. It was clear and sunny, with no chance of crazy winds or rain. Cal was glad of it. Though a rainy day would have suited his mood better as they prepared to bury Rose, he knew that he wanted her day to suit her and she’d always been sunny…well most of the time.

They’d all called friends to come and help out with various aspects of the funeral. Finn had brought his head mechanic, Zim, back with him from the road. His NASCAR sponsor had given him the next week off, which was probably a good thing, not just for Finn but for everyone. Of the three of them, Finn was having the hardest time containing his temper.

Braden had asked Red and Red had driven out to the Delaney property last night. They’d spent the night drinking and telling stories about Rose, which had been nice. Cal had invited Wyatt Kelly to come over, but he was getting ready for the summer boot release and hadn’t been able to make it any earlier.

The doorbell rang, and Cal went to answer it. Wyatt had changed a lot since he’d gotten married. He was still a badass but there was something tame about him now. Cal had to admit there were times when he envied what his friend had found with Juliette. They were expecting a baby in about six months and domesticity suited him.

As soon as Wyatt could get away, he’d made his way to Last Stand. It was only about a twenty-minute drive and Cal didn’t have words when he opened the door and saw his friend standing there the day of the funeral.

“I brought you this. Nick won it off a Scot who was at Booze’s Place last weekend,” Wyatt said holding out a bottle of Glenlivet.

Cal took the Scotch. Wyatt gave him a bro hug, patting him on the back. “I’m here for as long as you need me. Juliette told me not to come home if you needed a night of drinking or fighting. I think I’m getting on her nerves.”

Cal smiled to himself. That sounded like Juliette. “Why are you getting on her nerves?”

“Well, you know she’s pregnant. But we just found out we’re having twins! And at her last doctor’s visit, she found out she had hypertension. In fact, I should probably text her and make sure she’s okay. I mean she was okay five minutes ago when I FaceTimed her to tell her I was here,” Wyatt said.

“Dude, if you text her again, you should probably make plans to stay in the guest house indefinitely.”

Wyatt laughed. “You’re right. So, what do you need?”

“Nothing. We’re going to the First Methodist church for the service and then we are going to bury her up on the hill by Mom and Dad.”

“Damn, man, you’ve had too many funerals in your life,” Wyatt said.

They heard a clip-clopping sound, and both turned to face the hallway where Lane came running toward them on his broomstick pony.
