Landon wasn’t sure why everything anyone said or did made annoyance burn through him. He’d brought a crew to the church on Monday morning to get the weak and damaged area of the balcony demolished, but he couldn’t stand their conversation, their endless questions.

He’d expected to see Megan at some point. Sure, she liked to sleep in, especially when she was up late. And she had been, because she’d sent him a text at two-forty-seven that morning.

But she hadn’t shown up yet, and lunchtime was almost over. He sat against the trunk of a tree on the far side of the church where no one could see him. He knew himself well enough to get away from people when he got in a foul mood.

Distantly, he heard someone say his name. He ignored them and tried to reposition himself so his wide shoulders didn’t poke out the sides of the tree trunk. Didn’t work. Whoever was looking for him came closer, their footsteps strong and sure.

Landon turned when he realized Jace had come into town. Alarm raced through him as he stood and dusted off his jeans. “What’s goin’ on? What are you doin’ here?” Landon glanced over his shoulder, like the reason for Jace’s visit would be standing there.

“Belle wanted me to come baby furniture shopping with her.” Jace didn’t roll his eyes, but his tone conveyed his desire to do so. “Don’t know why. It’s not like my opinion matters.”

Landon laughed. “Belle has her eye on somethin’.”

“Yeah, a changing table that costs six hundred dollars,” Jace grumbled. “I don’t even know why a baby needs a changing table. Why can’t we just lay him on the floor to change his diaper?”

Landon shrugged. “Don’t ask me.” He shoved his hands in his pockets. “So it’s a boy?”

Jace shook his head. “Don’t know yet.” He gestured back the way he’d come. “Carlos said I’d find you over here. Just thought I’d hang out while Belle’s at lunch.”

“Why didn’t you go to lunch with her?”

“She wanted to meet a friend.”

Sirens and bells went off in Landon’s head. “Who?”

Jace’s boots scraped the cement as he shuffled them. He swiped his hat off his head and wiped his hand down his face, tugging on the end of his beard, which he only did when he was nervous. Landon had witnessed the habit enough to know.

“Megan, right? I mean, it’s not like my sister has a lot of friends in town.”

“Of course she does,” Jace said.

“But it’s Megan, right?”

“I didn’t really ask.”

Landon tipped his head back and gazed into the blue sky. “What’re they talkin’ about?”

“I imagine they’ll talk about you. Belle loves a good love story.”

Landon inhaled, but air seemed to be the wrong thing to breathe and he choked. “Love story?”

“Yeah.” Jace folded his arms and settled his weight away from Landon. “I mean, you’re holding her hand and kissin’ her. What do you call that?”

“Dating.” Landon’s mood darkened by several shades. “And it’s still brand new at that. I’m not in love with her.
