“That was a bit tight,” Truman said to Easton and Wyatt as he leaned into the rail of the porch. It was his idea to ask Easton over tonight. He would be at dinner no matter what but thought if Easton were here, it would help balance out Wyatt a little more.

This role reversal was making Truman uneasy, to say the least. Over the years, Wyatt had become the fun one in their group, the one with a quick smile, fast wit, nicknames, the one that eased tension.

Not since that call, though. All that aggression they knew was under the fast smile had flooded to the surface. The entire farm felt heavier, so did the fire station. It was blowing Truman’s mind, honestly. He knew it ended bad, that they were ripped apart, but before that, growing up, when they knew Harley was coming to the farm it was like getting ready for Christmas; she brought a calm to the farm, a balance, the kind of company you walked straighter around but didn’t mind having there constantly.

Easton had walked through a hell that no one would wish for, and Wyatt was there with him through that. Truman was scared to death to follow all of them into the fire department, and even though Wyatt still teased him, he made sure Truman was at ease.

Now it appeared it was Wyatt’s turn to walk through hell, a life change. And they were all going to be there with him to deal with it.

“She’s not the same,” Wyatt said under his breath.

“Did you guys talk?” Easton asked. He saw what happened in the cab of that truck, her eyes fly open, how she’d kissed Wyatt like he was a life force, the way he kissed her back. He thought this was a done deal, even figured that Camille was overreacting by telling Wyatt to take it slow. But then he saw the reaction Wyatt had to the evidence that Harley had moved on in her life, in some way. Easton was cussing himself for gathering all that stuff off the highway. Maybe if he hadn’t, all of this would be easier, Wyatt wouldn’t be looking like he was on the losing end of this deal.

“Not much.”

“Then how do you know she’s not the same?”

Wyatt smirked. “Because she snapped on me.”

“What did you say?” Truman asked with a furrowed brow, his dark blue eyes slicing into Wyatt.

Wyatt shook his head. “Something like I shouldn’t give her crap about being with someone two years after we split – asked if I’d rather she had just slept around, then asked who I’d been with in a roundabout way.”

“You didn’t think to ease into that conversation?” Easton asked, almost dumbfounded Wyatt went down that road that fast.

“It just happened,” Wyatt said with a curse under his breath.

Easton leaned a little closer. “Wyatt, years back you were not Mr. Innocent.”

That was true. Too true. For the most part since he’d been home, he had been. This town was too small to start something unless you meant it.
