Chapter Fifteen

The distraction, otherwise known as Gill, made it nearly impossible to work. The paperwork that had been put aside because of the rain had piled up and needed to be taken care of. An hour into her day, Jo decided the only way to complete anything was to move the massive man from her office. Then she’d double-time until she was finished and find a way to incorporate him into her day.

“Okay, Goliath,” she said as she grabbed her hat. “Let’s go.”

“Oh, Goliath. I like that.”

Jo rolled her eyes and walked out of the room, expecting him to follow.

“Leaving already?” Glynis said as they walked out.

“I’ll be back,” Jo informed her.

The woman smiled and waved, her eyes on Gill. “Bye-bye.”

Gill kept pace with her.

“So here are the ground rules,” she started.

“Rules?”

“Yeah. That kiss that everyone in town has now seen on their phones, no more of that in public.”

“Really?” He sounded disappointed.

“I do have to hold some kind of reputation, Gill. The town had a male sheriff for years. It took some of them time to get used to me. If they think I’m all boy crazy, who knows how it will go down.”

Gill attempted to hold her hand.

She shook him off.

“None of that either.”

“No?”

“No!”

“You drive a hard bargain.” His smile said he wasn’t offended. Besides, they hadn’t exactly displayed any affection in Virginia. It didn’t need to change in Oregon.

She lifted her sunglasses briefly, so he could see her eyes. “I’ll make up for it later.”

Gill licked his lips and pushed his hands into his front pockets. “Deal.”

“This is River Bend,” she said, as if he didn’t know. She pointed across the street. “Drugstore. As in, the one and only drugstore. Yeah, they sell the occasional ibuprofen over at the market across the street, but Benson’s Drugs sells anything and everything else.”

“Expensive?”

“Competitive. Charlie, the owner, knows the dollars in gas it takes to drive to Waterville to pay for your basics and makes it worth your while to buy here. His prices for all prescriptions are the same as if you bought them online, minus the shipping.”

“Smart man,” Gill said.

“He stays in business. Not to mention his sister makes the best strawberry jam in the county and sells it by the pint seasonally.”

Gill grinned.

Jo pointed to the next storefront. “Hardware store. Again competitive, with the edge of farming equipment supplies and seed to offset that which the feed store doesn’t always have on hand.”

“You have a feed store in town?”

“Just outside town. Close to R&B’s.”

“The bar I saw coming in?”

“That would be the one,” she confirmed.

“I saw a barn . . .”

Jo nodded. “That would be Cody’s Feed Store.”

“Cody?”

“It’s actually Cody’s son. But that’s how it goes around here.”

Gill pointed to the next marquee. “Sam’s diner, I presume?”

Jo stopped, spread her hands wide. “Breakfast.”

They pushed through the glass door of Sam’s and were greeted with the stares of several people from town and more than a half dozen friends.

Luke and Wyatt were a welcome sight. The very men she needed to entertain Gill for a couple of hours.
