“If you’re looking for a place to sit, there’s room at my table. I’d love to buy you a drink.”

Rob was seriously considering killing Lindsey—but where the hell was she? For the first time since landing in Moose Falls, he wanted a woman on his arm. At least Lindsey he was used to. At least Lindsey he actually liked. Most of the time now anyway. And the truth was, he’d sort of waited for her to show up somewhere in his life this week—but she hadn’t. Just that phone call on Monday. And…well, if he was honest with himself, he wasn’t going to mind seeing her. “Uh…I’m meeting somebody. Sorry.”

He caught Bernard winking up at him as the woman walked away. “She’s a saucy one, huh? Cuts hair over in Cedarville. My new squeeze, Ann Bixby, goes over there when she needs her hair set.”

Rob could only nod. He grunted a little, too, mainly because actual words wouldn’t come out. Until he thought of some worthwhile ones. “Have you seen Lindsey? Millie’s niece?”

“Oh, now she’s a cutie. Don’t blame ya for lookin’ for that one—no sirree. Try over by the bar. I hear she’s always makin’ Carla mix her up fancy cocktails.”

“Thanks,” Rob said, then wove his way through the crowd, thankful when no one else stopped him.

That’s when he saw Lindsey talking to some guy in his twenties who women probably thought was good-looking. His chest tightened slightly. Not that he cared who Lindsey talked to.

Still, he tried to listen in over the music and conversations going on around him. And felt a little perturbed that she hadn’t even noticed he was standing three feet away from her in the crowd.

Then a weird thought hit him. He hadn’t heard from her for days—and now here she was talking with this goofy guy. Could she be sleeping with him? Nah, no way. And what if she was? What did he care? Even if the very thought made him feel a little crazed inside.

“I’ve read your column in the paper,” the dude was saying to her. “Good stuff.” He held a glass with some girly drink in it—it was nearly pink.

“Thanks, but I’m not writing it anymore.” Her drink looked like some kind of martini.

“How come?” the guy asked.

Her smile never wavered, but Rob had spent enough time with her to notice the way her eyes dulled—just a little. “I recently broke up with my fiancé, so I needed a change. And I decided maybe I didn’t really know enough about love to be advising people on it.”

Her companion looked doubtful. “Aw, come on—from what I’ve read, you seem to know a lot about love. And sex.” The way he let his voice linger over the last word grated on Rob’s nerves.

Lindsey’s gaze dropped—to the big cake on the table she and the guy stood next to. “Great cake, huh? Mary Beth over at the café made it.” Rob couldn’t see the whole cake from where he stood, but could tell Mary Beth had created a rainbow trout with gray icing.
