“Logan.”
“Rutledge.”
The men glared at each other.
Sarah stepped away from Dwight. “Thank you for supper.”
He tore his gaze from Jess, a scowl drawing his features together. “I’ll come to call after services on Sunday.”
Sarah glanced at Jess and saw his shoulders stiffen. “No, I won’t be here. I’m having supper with the Sullivans.”
His expression soured. “Another time, then.”
Dwight stared at Jess again. Jess braced his arm against the porch roof support column, making it clear he didn’t intend to leave. Finally, Dwight touched the brim of his hat. “Good evening.”
Sarah watched him until he faded into the gray shadows stretching across the road. She turned to Jess and his bravado dissolved.
“I, ah, I brought back your kettle.” He gestured to the black pot sitting on the porch.
“You didn’t have to wait.”
“I didn’t wait. I just got here.”
The heaping mound of wood chips he’d whittled told a different story.

“It could use some work.”
