Amy eyed the angle of the sun and nodded to Ned. The large space behind the church was perfect for an herb garden. “I think there’s enough space. You say Gina left this to the town?”

His ponytail swung when he nodded. “How much work do you think it will be?”

“Get a fellow with a tractor in here to till it all up, and we can get the plants in, or even seeds, if you want to do it more cheaply. I can draw up a list of what to plant where and what kind of soil and light the herbs prefer.”

“That would be wicked good of you.”

She touched his tattooed arm. “I have another question about Ben if you don’t mind me asking.”

He put his hands on his hips. “Sure. Don’t know how much help I can be, but I’ll try.”

“You and Ben surfed a lot, is that right?”

He nodded. “Nearly every morning when he was here. That man was a born fish.”

“Did he ever mention why he didn’t marry Gina?” It was a personal question, but maybe he’d been close enough to be Ben’s confidante.

Ned’s smile faded. “Not exactly, ma’am.”

“What does that mean? He did or he didn’t.”

Ned shuffled in his flip-flops. “He sometimes called his fiancée from the beach. I think he was torn between her and Gina, though he never really said so. But he was always a little quiet when he hung up.”

“Did he talk to Elizabeth a lot in the weeks before he died? Their wedding was supposed to be next week.”

Ned nodded. “I’d hear him talking about wedding plans.” He nodded toward the hill. “Here comes Libby.”

Amy turned and waved at her friend, but her thoughts stayed on her brother. How could he have kept two women on the string this way?
