Chapter Eighteen

Ames Hammond couldn’t stop grinning at his twin. Cy had a unique way of endearing everyone to him, and Ames had just watched him win over an entire town in a ten-minute ceremony.

The motorcycle shop crawled with people, and Ames stood a few feet from Wyatt Walker and his wife, both of whom sat at a table Ames had set up himself. He’d covered it with a white cloth, and he’d put several permanent markers out for the two of them. They were signing everything from T-shirts to cowboy hats, and they seemed to be the happiest people on the planet.

Ames had done a little reading on Wyatt once Cy had called to say he’d booked the celebrity rodeo star for the grand reopening. He’d endured several back surgeries in the recent past, so Ames knew his life wasn’t as charmed as it looked from the outside. Ames knew that hardly anyone’s life was what it looked like to other people.

He’d brought his mother with him to watch Cy’s reopening, but their father had stayed in Ivory Peaks with Grams. Ames hadn’t told anyone else yet that he had a feeling Grams wouldn’t be alive very much longer. He’d been going out to the farmhouse every chance he got, and Grams was very nearly one hundred years old.

He couldn’t even imagine living that long, and he certainly didn’t want to do it alone. Now that Cy was dating Patsy, it was only Ames who didn’t have a significant other. He’d been looking, but the last few dates he’d been on had been disasters. He’d been hit on by a woman in the back of his patrol car, and his desperation had become apparent when he’d actually considered saying yes.

He and Gray ran at the gym together a lot, but they’d moved outdoors in the past couple of weeks, and they’d talked a lot about how Ames could find a girlfriend. But Gray was worse than Ames when it came to dating, and he’d gotten very lucky when he’d found Elise.

He’d traveled to Coral Canyon to do it, and Ames kept looking around, thinking perhaps the woman of his dreams was right here in the crowd. His eyes kept going to Sophia, one of Elise’s friends. He didn’t know her last name, though he was sure he’d met her before. Maybe. He couldn’t entirely remember.

But all of those women from Whiskey Mountain Lodge had come to Colton’s wedding, and Ames had been there too. So surely he’d met her before.

He could ask Gray or Elise for Sophia’s last name, but he didn’t want to. He didn’t want either of them to know that he was considering starting a long-distance relationship with any woman who’d be willing to talk to him on the phone.

Pathetic, he told himself, because he was.

He kept an eye on the Walkers at their table, his stance and his folded arms a warning to everyone that they should behave, or he’d escort them right back outside. Eventually, the line dwindled, and the crowd thinned.
