CHAPTER TEN
A grown man should not feel this way.
The week had flown by and it was festival day. A parade of carts was about to start down Main Street. Sawyer was grinning like a fool and practically fidgety with anticipation.
Him. Fidgety with anticipation. Sawyer had stopped trying to explain the new version of himself showing up over the past week. Time with Molly and Zack had changed him. In ways he was nowhere near ready to admit or even welcome.
Sawyer lost any hope of controlling the ridiculous surge of pride that overtook him as he watched Molly maneuver the golf-cart hippo into line at the top of Main Street. Nor could he tamp down the glow under his ribs at Zackâs mile-wide grin as he sat beside Molly in the cart. Or the elation at Mollyâs delighted face, knowing he had helped to put that joy there.
Wyatt Walker walked up beside him and gave an appreciative nod. âOutstanding job there, Bradshaw. I think Zack will take first prize.â
Sawyer hadnât dared to hope for that. âMollyâs just happy he actually took part.â
âI didnât do half as well with the girlsâ bikes.â He gestured to the wildly swaying heads of two flamingos somehow built on the bicycles of his twin stepdaughters.
âOh, I donât know. Pretty clever stuff there.â The girls were wearing pink sweat suits with some sort of black paper cone fitted like a curved flamingo beak to the front of their pink bicycle helmets.
Wyatt shook his head. âYouâre showing me up, and Iâm supposed to be the Carousel Man.â
Sawyer had to admit Walkerâs bit-of-a-renegade appearance and his cutting wit didnât exactly line up with the kind of carnival barker who would run a Carousel of Happiness. Lots of people in Wander Canyon werenât quite what they seemed on first pass.
Then again, that could cut both ways. After all, he was more than he seemed, wasnât he? There had been a lot of television footage of the squad car crash and the funeral of that mom and her boys. There was no escaping the inevitable: someone would connect the dots any day now, and heâd have to move on.
Trouble was, he was growing to like it here. Heâd never planned on that happening. But heâd never planned anything that Molly Kane thrust into his life.
âYou gave me the idea. Itâs just a paint job, and mostly of Mollyâs design at that.â
âAnyone give you grief that itâs a Mountain Vista golf cart?â
Sawyer had, in fact, been expecting someone to call him on that. Especially if Zack won some sort of prize. But it hadnât happened...yet. âNot so far.â
âWell, steer clear of Norma Binton and maybe youâll get away clean.â Wyatt pointed to a sour-looking old woman standing on the other side of the street. âTown grump. And the town gossip, which is a bad combination.â
What would Norma Binton do if she got wind of Sawyerâs role in that tragic accident? Sheâd be like all the others, not caring that the high-speed chase had been caused by a gang member.
