The next day the paper ran a front page article about the decapitated scarecrows and Luke Sawyer’s arrest. Dylan and I met for coffee at Millie’s Café, but he couldn’t stay long because he expected Bonnie and Nicholas at the station early.

“What’s going to happen to Nicholas?”

“William’s not going to press charges, so most likely just a slap on the hand and a stern talking to. Kid’s lucky. It could have been a lot worse.”

“Actually, with Bonnie as his grandmother, it’s probably worse at home than anything you could do.”

He laughed. “You’re probably right. Funny though, considering she’s a little on the wild side, you’d think she’d expect it from blood.”

“Wild is one thing, but I think she thinks he crossed the line.”

“He came close, that’s for sure, but I don’t think it was his fault.”

That surprised me. Dylan wasn’t the kind of person that didn’t allow people not to be responsible for their actions. “Really?”

“I mean, he did what he did, yes, but he’s new in town and a little socially awkward, and I think he just wanted to find his place, to fit in, and he got pulled into something that went above his head. When it came down to doing the right thing, he did. Hopefully Bonnie sees that.”

“Through the tiny twigs of the switch, maybe.”

We both chuckled. Bo wagged his tail.

Dylan checked his watch. “Okay, I’ve got to go.”

“Me, too. I’m meeting the lacrosse coach at his new place to check it out, and then I’ve got the first volunteer meeting for the community yard sale. It’s going to be the best one ever.”

He smirked. “Do you ever work?”

“Sweetie, it’s all about relationship building.”
