But as she stepped into a shaft of warm, golden sunlight, she saw the man she’d been trying to avoid earlier. Jack French was leaning against one of the tent posts, clearly waiting for her.
“Bad news?” he asked. He wore a blue-checked shirt that brought out the blue in his eyes. His jeans, like his boots, looked as new as the Stetson cocked back on his blond head.
She glared at him and had the wild notion that he’d had something to do with what the old woman had told her. She knew she shouldn’t let the cowboy or the fortune-teller upset her. Neither knew anything about her. But she had already been on edge from earlier.
“Were you listening to what she told me?” she snapped.
He shook his head. “Just saw you come out scowling,” he said as he pushed off the tent post to join her.
Obviously she’d wasted her time trying to avoid him. He must have seen her duck into the tent.
“I thought fortune-tellers weren’t supposed to tell you anything bad about the future,” he said.
“She must not have read the fortune-teller manual. Or maybe she foresaw you waiting outside the tent for me.”
He grinned at that and shoved back his hat. “So she did mention me?” He studied her a moment. The grin faded. “You really are upset. Over what some carnival charlatan told you? I thought you were smarter than that.”
She knew her face gave her away. She was upset. It was foolish. Had she really let what the old woman said shake her composure? She was angry with herself for even stepping into the tent to begin with. Of course, that was all Jack’s fault.
“Or are you upset over the sketch of the dead man in today’s newspaper?” His eyes had narrowed, his gaze intent on her.
She unconsciously lifted her chin, bracing herself. “I was shocked.”
