Parker was pissed. All the tools were accounted for and while they would need a new load of lumber, that was no big deal. Most of the damage done had been to Sara.

Who would have done something like this? The sheriff had been quick to defend his son and assured him that he had been with them all night.

With the obvious culprit off the list, he had no fresh leads. He toiled over it as he helped Donny clean up.

“I’ll stop by the lumberyard first thing tomorrow to replace what was damaged,” Donny said, tossing the discarded wood into the dumpster next to the trailer. “We’ll need a new lock.”

“I have one in my truck.” He pulled it out of his glove box and noticed that Toby was fast asleep curled up on the driver’s side. “This will have to do until I can get another one.”

“I’ll pick one up tomorrow,” Donny said. “As far as it goes, we lucked out. All of the tools were here and undamaged.”

He nodded. If any of the equipment had been stolen, it would have set him back in not only money, but time. Some of the equipment had to be purchased in the city, since the hardware store in town didn’t carry the bigger stuff.

“Well, see you tomorrow. I hope your lady didn’t get too upset over all this. It’s probably just kids or an ex.” He shrugged. “My ex-wife stalked me for a while, until she found a new man.”

He drove home with Toby’s head resting in his lap. He was going to be lonely without Sara next to him in his bed.

He thought about driving by her place but she was probably staying at her parents’ house for the night. So, instead, he crawled into bed with Toby and got a few hours of sleep before his alarm went off.

When he arrived at the restaurant the next morning, he was surprised to see Sara’s brother, Matt, dropping her off until he remembered that her Jeep was still parked in the same spot it had been in for two days.

Parking beside Matt’s shiny car, he jumped out and opened Sara’s door. She had a carrier full of coffee cups and a box of what he hoped were donuts.

“Morning,” he said cheerfully.

She smiled up at him. “Morning,” she said back, a little too cheerfully. He could tell that she had gotten as much sleep as he had.

“Thanks, Matt. See you tonight.” She shut the door and waved as her brother drove away.

He took the container of coffee cups from her and walked with her towards the front door.

“What’s tonight?” he asked, after she’d opened the door and flipped on the lights.

“Wow, this is a lot easier.” She nodded towards the simple light switches.

He smiled. “Changing the subject?” He set the coffee down on the bar.

“Maybe.” She opened the box of donuts. “Matt stopped by Sara’s Nook and I thought your guys would like some coffee and donuts.”

He grabbed a donut and a cup, then leaned closer, blocking her from leaving.
