He put the phone away, went inside the house, made a bologna sandwich for supper, since it was getting on toward evening by then and he’d forgotten all about lunch. He fed Kit Carson, and when the dog had finished munching his kibble, Tyler rustled up a towel and a bar of soap and, instead of showering inside, headed for the lake.

He was in bed reading a book, Kit Carson curled up beside him, when he heard Davie come in. Switch on that little TV he’d talked Tyler into buying for him the day before.

Since there was no cable and no satellite dish, he’d get mostly static and disembodied voices, but that didn’t seem to bother the kid. He banged around downstairs for a while, and finally came up the stairs, just far enough for his head to show above the landing.

Tyler felt a pang, seeing how happy Davie looked. He didn’t have a clue that his own mother had just put him on the block with a price tag hanging from around his neck.

“Hey,” Tyler said.

“Hey,” Davie said. “You should have come along today. We had a lot of fun. And your hot date spent the whole afternoon at the ranch, her and her little girl. We had meat loaf and homemade bread for supper, too.”

“Is that right?” Tyler asked, deliberately casual. What he was really thinking was, Don’t call her a “hot date.” Her name is Lily. “How’d you get home?”

The word home sort of hung in the air for a moment or so, unsettling and not quite right. But not wrong, either.
