Chapter 12

Whitney buckled in and stared across the fields at Justin working under her mom’s direction. Her mom getting to avenge her daughter’s name? Yeah, she’d jumped at that chance and had him busy in an instant. Good thing, because Whitney didn’t have a clue what to do with him. He wasn’t supposed to come back for more. When the rumble of his car had come up the drive just before daylight, her coffee slipped in her hand. Without a plan ready, she’d put him on tomatoes and stayed with him long enough to show how it was done before running for her life. It was impossible to stay around the guy and not start liking him. Which lead to feeling sorry for him. From there it was a one way trip into guilt-land for working the shit-fire out of him. She wasn’t ready to feel guilty for that. Maybe tomorrow, but not today.

Since guilt wasn’t on the menu, escape was. Maybe in the time she was gone handing out things for Kara, Whitney could figure out what in the world to do with him. Or maybe after he spent hours under instructions and over exaggerated nags from her mom, he would give up and leave. If he survived that, well, she really didn’t know then. Nobody survived that.

She had one last box to drop by Tasha. This care package wasn’t earned for planting, but to satisfy Tasha’s raging pregnant hormones. She had the box in hand and headed to the door when Brandon stepped out.

For the first time in, well, ever, he stopped in front of her and poked at his ice cream. She started around him, but he caught her with a look. Okay. Not once could she recall him ever stopping her or anyone. Everyone knew you smiled and nodded toward Brandon and kept going. It was his thing since he moved here years ago.

For him to stop, and was that a smile? Who was this stranger in town? His brows lifted and he shook his head with a chuckle. “Scarecrows, Whitney?”

She pressed her lips together. Damn it. Busted already. “He told you.”

Brandon nodded and a little bit of laughter continued to escape. “Yep.”

Oh shit. That’s why he showed up this morning. That little prick, he was on to her and aimed to out-work her. Damn. “I guess he didn’t take the news too bad, since he came back.”

Brandon chuckled some more. “I didn’t tell him what you were up to.”

She blinked as new hope resurfaced. “He doesn’t know?”

He dug through his ice cream again and was a kitten over the cup. “I almost said something, not realizing you were screwing him over, but I played it off. I’m not getting involved in whatever you’re up to, but if you can manage a picture of him decorating a scarecrow for me, I’d really appreciate it.”

She tucked the box of cookies against her side. “Since you’re not telling, I can get some pictures. He’s working on them with Mom today.
