Chapter 10

Kendall spent the afternoon with her mama shopping and running errands. The town appeared to be in a state of shock after the gun fight on Main Street. She couldn’t say she was completely over it herself. Things of that sort didn’t happen in Rainwater. At least not that she remembered. Lucas ran a tight ship, and most criminals knew it and were smart enough to steer clear of their area.

It made her wonder just how badly things were looking for Bobby Joe. No doubt he’d get his fool self killed before he ever reached the age of thirty. She didn’t want that for him. She wanted him locked up in jail, sure, but not dead. But, he’d chosen that life. He’d wanted all the misadventures. Kendall felt thankful to be out of his life and on her own. If he wanted to die, she refused to get involved. If only he’d leave her out of it.

“I like the new curtains we bought,” her mama said, holding them up. “Marcus is going to like them, too. When is he moving in his things?”

“The moving van is coming tomorrow. I don’t think this is permanent, by any means. I can’t imagine he’ll move all his furniture. Probably just the things he needs to get by for a couple of months. The good part about him living in the apartment, he is closer to his office.”

“That’s good,” her mama replied, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. “But I do love the home he bought out on Baker Avenue. It’s nice and has plenty of room for a family.” She batted her eyelashes innocently.

“Mama, don’t start. I know you’ve always liked Marcus and are thrilled we’re finally trying out the dating thing, but he and I have no plans of getting married or starting a family any time soon. Don’t fill your mind with visions of a wedding. We’re slowly moving from friendship to dating. Nothing more.”

Her mama pressed her hands to her chest and rolled her eyes. “Now Kendall, I didn’t say a thing. However, I do assume that one day Marcus is going to marry and have a family. I didn’t mention your name. God forbid I should want you to be happy,” she added, sarcastically.

“Is that right? That wasn’t aimed at me? Listen, I like Marcus and we’re dating and I was nervous about taking that leap, but it’s actually going really well. Really, really well. But don’t make any more out of it than that. Besides,” she added in a small voice, “he’s a lawyer. He’s smart and makes a lot of money, while I’m a hairdresser barely getting by.”

Her mama tossed up her hands. “Now that doesn’t mean a darn thing. People get married all the time with financial differences between them. It doesn’t mean a thing.” She pointed at Kendall. “And I don’t want you thinking you’re inferior to any man. You come from a good family and you had a proper upbringing. You’re a wonderful human being.
