Chapter Eleven

Zach left the casino to make his way back to Charlie’s. He found a light on in the kitchen. He also found Sunny had somehow made his way into sleeping on the couch. Sunny gave him a tail wag, a yawn and went back to sleep. In the kitchen, Charlie sat at the table, eating a slice of apple pie. She gestured towards the plate. “Is it all set?”

“Tomorrow’s the day.” He sat down, cut himself a slice of pie and took a bite, holding the pie in his fingers. Crust flaked onto the table. “Where’s Lucy?”

“Went to bed, but she’s probably pacing her room. She’s not as tough as she acts.”

Zach nodded. “Yeah. I get that.”

Charlie put down her fork and fixed a hard stare on Zach. “Don’t you be something else she has to cover up and get over. If this doesn’t’—”

“It’s going to work out.”

Charlie tipped her head to the side. “Just how do you know?”

“It’s my...my business to know people, know how they’ll react.”

“So—not so much of a cowboy?” She shook her head. “Damn if you’re not as stubborn as Lucy.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Getting up, she waved at the pie. “Clean up after yourself, Zach. I don’t much like a man who leaves a mess behind.”

Zach finished his pie and sat at the table. He had a funny feeling that she knew exactly who he was. She could have looked him up on the Internet, and probably had. She was also very protective of those she loved and Lucy Ennis was at the top of that list. He put his hands through his hair. So what did he do after tomorrow? He pushed out a breath and decided he’d have to figure that out after tomorrow.

The day dawned with clouds scudding in under a sharp wind. Zach rose early to feed Sunny. He pulled on his jeans, a plaid shirt and his boots, feeling more like a fraud than anything. Well, that would end after today. He didn’t stick around for coffee, but headed out to meet up with Martino. He left Sunny at Charlie’s house and took the ATV out to Charlie’s barn.

Martino’s black Lincoln was already pulled up in front of the barn. Zach gave a nod to Martino’s driver, a skinny kid. “Thought you were coming alone.”

Martino smoothed his suit lapels. “I don’t drive. Kid’s my cousin’s youngest. Have to do something with him.” He glanced at the kid and waved for him to get back in the car. “Damn kid knows video games and not much else, but what can you do. Everything set?”

Zach nodded. “You have the paperwork?”

Pulling the paper from his pocket, Martino showed it to Zach. When Zach tried to take it, Martino pulled it away. “This is my part. So how about you making good on your part?”

With a smile, Zach nodded again. “Sure thing. Partner.” He got on the ATV and headed back to the house. Charlie was waiting for him. He still hadn’t seen Lucy, but he couldn’t wait.
