In the city, any city, advertising a property for sale was a whole affair in itself. You could drive past billboards advertising new apartment buildings, while suburban houses would have giant signs planted in the yard with glamorous photos of their interiors on show. Things were still a little old-fashioned in the country, though.

Driving back from town, Sawyer pulled into the ranch and saw a simple sign, no bigger than a few feet high, with the words FOR SALE written on it in red paint and the realtor’s phone number beneath. He idled the car and turned off the engine, staring at the sign. It wasn’t even standing up straight, not fully, so he got out of the car and wandered over to it, hands in his pockets.

Maybe he did need to get back to the city, back to normality, because surely it wasn’t normal to stand there staring down a badly made sign like it was your mortal enemy. But the sign meant that things were official. People would drive past and know that this place could be theirs. It meant that it would no longer be the Butlers’ family home. It would just be some land and a house that they wouldn’t have access to. Stepping foot there wouldn’t be going home; it would be trespassing.

Sawyer rubbed a hand over his face as if he could rub all these stupid thoughts out of his brain like an old-school chalkboard. He wished he could blame jet lag or something for his weird mood, that he had a hangover maybe, but he hadn’t even had a single drink since he’d been back in Willow Ridge. He just needed to go inside, have breakfast and a barrel full of coffee, and he would snap out of it. That’s all it was.

Sawyer kicked the sign with his foot in a halfhearted attempt to straighten it out. It didn’t really do anything except knock it too far in the other direction, but his mood had gone south so fast that Sawyer just climbed back into the car and started the engine. Breakfast. If he just had breakfast and caffeine, everything would start looking brighter. Maybe Josie was already here for a shift? That would certainly make things brighter.

As he drove up the dirt road and through the iron gate, he saw the FOR SALE sign topple over in the rearview mirror as a slight breeze came through, landing face down in the dirt. Sawyer kept driving… He had no intention of turning around to pick the thing back up.
