October was the worst month of the year and it held the worst memories ever made. Not just one part of the month, but the entire thing. The beginning was supposed to be set aside for last-minute preparations, the middle a time of celebration, and the end a time to marvel in the wonderment of it. Regrettably, none of that came to be.

For the past three years, Wes had dealt with the vile time by hunkering down at his remote cabin in the mountains of Tennessee where no cell phone or Internet signal could find him. He longed to take off and go hide this year, but the responsibility of the new practice wouldn’t allow him to up and disappear for an entire month, so he would have to cope the best way he knew how. Run. And when he had exhausted running, he’d run some more.

October 1 fell on Wednesday, thankfully a half day, and by the time he locked up, Wes was itching to run. As long as he kept in motion, grief couldn’t catch up with him.

But if he ever got still . . .

I just need to outrun this. With that mantra on a steady repeat, he walked toward his car with purpose. Of course, his plan was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone. He swiped a finger across the screen and said, “Hey.”

“Hey, yourself,” Seth answered in a whisper. “I need you to come get me.” He sounded distracted.

Wes stopped walking and looked heavenward, but the cloudless blue sky did nothing to settle him. “You better not be in jail again.”

“No, man. I promise that was a onetime mistake. Just come get me.”

Wes began moving again. “What’s going on?”

“I met this chick at the airport. She said she’d give me a lift to your place, but she brought me to hers instead. Said she wanted to play doctor. . . . Dude, I’m feeling delicate. Hurry up.”

Wes didn’t know whether to laugh or lecture his brother, but then something occurred to him. “Why doctor?”

Seth snorted. “She thought I was good ole Dr. Weston Sawyer for some reason. What are you, Sunset Cove’s most eligible bachelor or something?”

“Or something. I’m not a bachelor. I’m a widower.” Wes cranked the car and debated just hanging up the phone and letting his brother lie in whatever dumb bed he’d made for himself.

“Whatever. Please pick me up and I’ll never try pretending to be you again.”

I’ve heard that before. “Text me the address. And you better clear up with that woman who you are by the time I get there.” He didn’t wait for a reply before ending the call and pulling out of the parking lot.

An hour later, the brothers arrived at the beach house, one chagrined and the other acting like he wasn’t the cause of it.

“Wes—”

“We must never speak of it again.” Wes sliced a hand through the air to stop the conversation before it got started. He dropped his briefcase by the door and headed into the kitchen.
