Chapter 8

The weeks into May were a dream, Casper and Evan spent as many nights as they could in each other’s arms, making good use of his lack of neighbors nearby. And when they weren’t twisted up together in the dark, Evan spent every moment he could doing other things with Cas, finally teaching him to fish, teaching him to shoot a pistol with each hand, even shocking the bloomers off the church ladies when he agreed to help them with their charity knitting by winding the yarn with them in front of the general store. Sam had laughed his ass off when he spied him, but Evan considered himself justified when they paid him in pie. Besides, that whole afternoon he got to listen to Cas as he read the women Psalms in his sand and sin voice.

The only good to come out of Alistair Jones skulking about their territory was that it had the damn near impressive effect of keeping all the other lowlifes in line. Nobody was getting away with shit all when every lawman in a hundred miles was suddenly so quick on the draw. And in a town lucky as Lawrence to have men such as the Parkers about, things were downright pastoral. Any other time such as this would’ve seen Evan tearing off in a cloud of Parkernd the nearest bit of trouble to get himself tangled into, but now he had a reason to stay, and to be mighty thankful for the long stretching days with not much to do other than bury himself in Casper.

Casper for his part, had taken to praying with much more regularity than he ever had as a wandering preacher with no other companion other than a silent God. It would trouble him at times, times when Evan wasn’t around to kiss him thoughtless, just how happy, how complete he felt and just how little their relationship bothered him. He had been truthful with Evan that day when he’d told him he’d worked this side of his nature out with God. He had, but he was realizing that those beliefs had come to him in times of solitude, hand in hand with the conviction that he was never going to have to test them in any practical way. What did it say about him that he stood before his congregation every week and told them to be good and honest people while at the same time catching the eye of a man he would that same night fall into bed with?

Writ on paper what he was doing with the sheriff was scandalously wicked, a married man, a pillar of the community and him a servant of the Lord. But the part that troubled him most was how little trouble he had making it all fit nice and snug into his sense of moral equilibrium. Lisa and Evan were no more than brother and sister in their regard, and nearly the whole town knew it, so he was not luring a constant man away from his vows.
