Chapter Eight

Sissie didn’t care that Jack hadn’t shown up like he’d promised he would. She had her answers. Probably more than what she would’ve gotten from Jack. That didn’t mean she liked the fact he blew her off. He’d committed to discussing what was going on in Honeywell. It wasn’t like him to break his word.

She got it. Jack might be the sheriff, but even he was reporting to Mark. Honeywell’s dynamics were changing, and it broke her heart. It was happening from the top, but eventually, the people of the town wouldn’t be blind to it.

Right now she was thankful for what Ryan had shared with her. For now, she had the information she needed. The time would come when she’d require more. Then she’d hunt Jack down and give him a piece of her mind. He wasn’t that hard to find. Goodness knows he’ll be around when he gets hungry.

Sissie looked around the saloon. The lunchtime rush was over, and people had headed back to work. The few who remained weren’t going anywhere for a while. It was their day off working as ranch hands, and there really wasn’t much else to do but spend it at the Wild Sass. Good for me, sad for them.

Sissie walked over to one of her favorite patrons. He hadn’t been around for the past week, which was unusual. She placed a cold beer in front of McLean and sat beside him. “Thought you’d forgotten your way here,” she teased.

“Ma’am, you know better than that. Things on the ranch ain’t what they were before.” McLean picked up the beer and downed it.

Sissie knew Mark had his people all around, on the Nash ranch as well. McLean didn’t like strangers hovering around, and by the irritated look on his face, it was getting to him. Things would be different if they’d told McLean what was going on. If I could, I’d update him, but I don’t know what’s happenin’ there any more than he does.

Sissie knew that was why Mark and Jack didn’t share much with her. She didn’t have a big mouth. What she said were things that needed to be said. They just don’t understand that. “Nothin’ will stir things up like a baby on the way.”

“Damn straight. Derrick’s never been an easy man to be around, but right now he’s a complete jerk. If he’s this protective over Casey, I hate to see what he’s going to do with his new daughter.”

Sissie’s eyes widened. “Is she here?” She needed to hear some good news right now. Casey having a healthy baby was exactly that.

“Yes, ma’am. Early mornin’ and Casey and the baby are going great. I’m surprised Jack didn’t tell you.”

Jack? Nice. He was deep in trouble with her now. Jack knew what Casey meant to her. The entire town was going to want to know the details. Getting the pertinent information from McLean wasn’t the way to go. He was great if you were asking about a new filly, but a human baby, that was another story.
