CHAPTER ELEVEN

The sun hung low in the sky as Rachel drove home, and she flipped her visor down as she made the final turn. The last two days had passed in a blur.

After her talk with Hunter on Wednesday night, she’d gotten a phone call from Dana, calling about an interview. The board had narrowed the candidates down to Rachel and one other person. So on Thursday she’d driven to Houston, and this morning she’d had the interview.

Rachel thought—or hoped—it had gone well. Tough questions had been lobbed at her, but she’d never felt as though she was drowning without an answer to hold on to. The conversation had given her confidence that the school board would have her back if she landed the job, and the whole experience had only made her more confident it was the right opportunity for her.

Which conflicted with the rest of her emotions. Because she’d missed home. Had she really started to think of Fredericksburg as that again? Despite her attempts not to, she’d felt the absence of her friends and family in the short time she’d been gone. Her nephews’ sweet dispositions. Hunter.

That last name made her stomach twist with concern. She couldn’t miss him. Both of them knew she planned to move if she got the job. But she also conveniently hadn’t told him about the interview. It had felt too raw. Too soon after they were finding their friendship footing again.

It was okay she hadn’t mentioned it to him, right? If they were in a relationship, she would have. But they weren’t. She hadn’t done anything wrong in not telling Hunter about the interview. Who knew if she’d even get the job? Rachel wasn’t one to count chickens before they’d hatched.

Last night, she and Dana had shopped and gone out to dinner. It had been wonderful, confirming what Rachel loved about the city. But being in Fredericksburg had begun to cloud her thinking. She’d started to enjoy the peace and quiet, and look forward to the mornings when she’d sit on her porch swing and do her devotions. Drink a cup of coffee before heading over to Cash and Liv’s. It had become the perfect beginning to her day, and she couldn’t imagine giving it up.

When she’d first arrived back in town, she’d expected to hate every minute of the summer. But instead, she’d had plenty of good flood her life.

Up and down her emotions swung, like a yo-yo in a child’s hands.

On Wednesday night, when she’d left the barn to take the phone call from Dana, she’d confirmed the details of the interview and then turned to find Bree standing behind her, her features an open wound.

“You’re leaving?” Bree had questioned.

Rachel had moved slowly toward the girl, not wanting her to scram before she could explain. She’d assumed the kids knew her plans—that she was only back for the summer—but had they ever had that conversation?

“Bree, this job has been in the works for months. I thought you knew my move home was temporary.
