Chapter 19

Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat. ~ Ben Hacht

Another drink might do. The ice cubes clinked on the sides of the glass and slid down once the Jack Daniels poured over them. Mitch hadn’t recalled being this nervous since taking Maggie Greenlee to senior prom—as friends.

There was too much at stake with her in town. He couldn’t risk her finding out about the Greenlee farm under eminent domain, nor let his heart continue to ache for her. Mitch wasn’t good at playing the part. Hell, he’s never had to play the part until now.

Mitch squinted and coughed as the liquor burned at the top of his throat, making it go down a little smoother.

Tommy slammed the empty bottle in front of Mitch causing him to jump back into reality. There was disapproval written all over Tommy’s face.

“Man, you’ve got to get her out of your mind.” Tommy’s eye brows dipped in concern. “If she weren’t dumped, she’d still be there.”

“Fate.” Mitch whispered loud enough for Tommy to hear.

Tommy burst out laughing, swinging his hair to the side. “Fate? Don’t go all sensitive bullshit on me, Mitch.” Tommy filled the peanut bowl to the top and threw some in his mouth. He muffled, “its reality, and Wendy Owens was one hot chick that was willing.”

Willing? Mitch didn’t want willing. He wanted Maggie. He had an obligation to this town, and to Hazel Greenlee. Not to Maggie. But had obligation ever overruled the yearning in his heart?

“Wendy broke it off.” Mitch threw back another shot.

He didn’t understand why she hadn’t told anyone yet. Mitch certainly wasn’t the kiss and tell kind of guy, so he left it up to her to tell the community what she wanted to. Truth or not, she’d always been an honorable gal.

“Do you blame her? Look at you.” Tommy shook his head and headed down the bar to get a drink order.

The Thirsty Turtle would definitely be hopping in a couple hours. The hoedown ended at the Turtle with the same rowdy group every year. His group. This year he’d have to watch his step, being mayor.

The crowd was beginning to gather around all the tables and the smell of the roasting pig, set up in the square, was filling the air. His stomach rumbled to life.

“I’ll be back.” Mitch dropped some cash on the bar. He had to go out to the waiting public. If he had another drink, the waiting public would see their mayor three sheets to the wind.

People milled about with mason jars filled with Hazel Greenlee’s sweet tea. He glanced over at the Greenlee booth and smiled. Hazel didn’t disappoint. The line was worth standing there just to get a taste of the delicious concoction. She greeted everyone with a hug and a bit of superstition tales to add to the sweet flavor. The bangles on her wrist rang over the crowd’s laughter as she clapped her hands in amusement. Hazel was the only one at the booth.
