On the following Saturday, the groom, best man, and four groomsmen—including Grant—climbed into Ken Malone’s minivan. They were on their way to be fitted for morning jackets and all the accessories—trousers, shirt, waistcoat, pocket square, and cravat—for the wedding. Grant had been in enough of his siblings’ weddings to know what to expect once they got to the men’s store in Boise. But none of their weddings had been quite as formal as the Anderson-Malone wedding would be. Wearing tails would be a first for Grant.

The Malone brothers sat in the front of the automobile, Ken driving and Buck in the passenger’s seat. Behind them were Grant and Tom Butler, the Methodist minister. Buck’s soon-to-be brother-in-law, Rick Jansen—who’d driven to Kings Meadow from Sun Valley that morning—had the third row of seats to himself. From all appearances, Rick planned to sleep until they reached their destination.

Once on the highway, with Ken and Buck talking baseball, Grant said to Tom, “I guess you don’t find yourself serving as a groomsman very often.”

“It’s a first, actually. I’m enjoying the experience.”

“Even the dance lessons?”

Tom chuckled. “Even the dance lessons. But we’re all sorry you can’t be there the same night as the rest of us.”

“It’s okay. Skye and I found a time that works for both of us.” He schooled his features, trying not to sound overly interested. “She goes to your church, doesn’t she?”

“Yes, she does. All the Fosters do. Good family.”

Grant nodded as his gaze drifted out the window at the passing terrain. His thoughts drifted too. Back to Kings Meadow. Back to Skye. It had only been three days since he’d gone with her under the pretense of helping unload her new horse, but those three days had seemed extra long.

Why didn’t I pick up the phone and call her?

He’d wanted to. It almost scared him how much he’d wanted to. He’d never felt this way before, as if he were headed over a waterfall in a raft, not knowing if he would survive the drop but willing to take the risk because of what he might find at the bottom. Skye liked him. He was fairly certain of that. The last thing he wanted to do was spook her by moving too fast. By coming on too strong.

By kissing her too soon.

Her image filled his mind. Did she look like the kind of gal who would spook that easy? The question made him grin.

Not on your life.
