Chapter Twelve

“Thank ya for bein’ here for Kayley and me. I don’t know what we’da done without ya.”

Danny and Jase sat on the back porch of Danny’s home after the funeral on Friday. There’d been a reception that afternoon as a thank you for attending, and after most of the guests had left, Jon and Mickey helped them clean up the mess before they returned to the Katydid where they were staying.

Kayley had seemed to find comfort in having Meggie around. When the girls fell asleep on the couch in the living room, Jon and Mickey took Megan with them and left Jase and Dan to put Kayley to bed. The night before Jase had slept on the couch out of respect for the situation, but he prayed Danny wouldn’t make him stay there another night.

Jase opened two beers from the little bucket Mickey had prepared for them before he and the family left to go back to the farm. They’d been a lot of help since they’d all arrived in Holloway, and Jase knew once Danny got over his state of shock, he’d want to thank people for their kind acts.

Jase and Miss Katie had kept a list of the dishes dropped off, while Miss Jeri had made certain to label dishes to be returned to their rightful owners. She’d cooked enough food for Danny and Kayley to fill the freezer, so they’d be fine for a while.

“How about we talk a little bit?” Jase asked.

Dan looked at him and smiled. “Sure. About what?”

Okay, you should have thought this through a little more. Come up with something. Jase scolded himself before finally hitting on an idea.

“I, uh, I’ve been learning a lot about taking care of horses. Mickey and Jon are patient, and I’m set to meet Miss Ally next weekend. Mick told me she’ll be happy with the way I’ve set things up. He let me change a few things, and Pete and Todd haven’t objected yet. I want her to like me because she could be a good reference for me to come back to Holloway.” Jase hoped that saying it out loud might make it happen.

Dan turned to him as he took a swig of beer. “You like it there?”

“Well, yeah. I mean, they’ve been good to me. Terry and I, we play basketball and run together when he’s around the farm, and Meggie, well, she’s incredible.”

Danny seemed to think for a minute before he scooted closer to Jase. “So, what if I moved to Dillwyn and put Kayley in school there? Would you… I find myself falling in love with you, Jason. If we moved to you, would you be willing to give us a try?”

Jase swallowed the big lump in his throat, unable to speak at hearing Dan’s confession.

“I know you’ve asked for time, and I’ll give it to you, but I want you to know I’m willing to go where you are.”

Jase was immediately overwhelmed by the idea another person would want to
