Chapter 8

Men.

You can live without them, and you can shoot them—if you want to go to prison.

Right now, Mary wanted to take her trusty old rifle and use Terry for target practice, but she didn’t want the orange jumpsuit.

She’d never been more embarrassed in her life when she left the hotel room the next morning, wearing the same clothes as the day before.

She may be a country bumpkin, but she knew what the walk of shame meant.

Even though she’d tried to sneak away, the housekeeper walked by right at the worst moment. But rather than laugh at or be disgusted, the young woman said, “Good for you,” and smiled before she walked away.

She couldn’t hide. Couldn’t shield herself from this town and these people, or their gossip. Hadn’t she suffered enough already? Terry had no idea what he did to her when he left her alone. Apparently he didn’t listen when she told him how these people treated her since Tom’s death. Was he that much of a selfish idiot?

Now she was a husband killer and a whore.

She slammed his note down onto the table under her living room window and screamed out her frustration. Then she picked the note back up, and reread it again, trying not to cry for the hundredth time. Five days had passed since he disappeared, and she couldn’t sleep or eat or think of anything but him and what the note meant.

She had been so caught up in her torment she almost phoned every McCoy in the phone book in his city, which would be a complete waste of time and foolhardy. She couldn’t imagine criminals being listed in the directory, but Terry did mention he operated a hotel. It couldn’t be too hard to find out which one.

Still, she couldn’t go through with it.

She was alone again. Even after she’d said he was better off leaving, now she felt truly bereft.
