When Johnny disappeared from view, Will sank to the ground and stared into space. His brother was right. The only option was to move forward and find a place for himself in his son’s life. Will waited a half hour for a fish to bite, then packed up his gear. When he reached the barn, he noticed the pile of new lumber by the front porch.
Damn. He’d promised the twins he’d build Bandit a doghouse this weekend. An idea came to mind—he’d ask Ryan to help and hope that the twins’ constant babble would put his son at ease.

“I’M SO EXCITED,” Hillary Bancroft said when Marsha slipped into the stylist’s chair at the Bee Luv Lee Hair Salon. “I can’t believe you and Ryan are staying in Stagecoach for the whole summer.”
“I’m looking forward to spending more time with my father,” Marsha said. And Will. She wanted to get to know her son’s father and find out what kind of man he’d become.
Hillary draped a black cape over Marsha and fussed with her wavy locks. “How’s your dad feeling?”
“Dad’s slowed down since our last trip home.” There was no need to go into the details of her father’s battle with prostate cancer—Hillary and her twelve-year-old daughter were members of the Mission Community Church.
“What does Ryan think about being stuck in the desert for two and a half months?”
“That’s what I wanted to talk to you about.” Marsha glanced across the room where the new owner of the salon, Rosie Davis, was styling Fiona Wilson’s gray hair. Fiona had been Marsha’s English teacher in high school but had since retired. Marsha glanced in the mirror and caught Hillary watching her.
“Rosie’s making a bank run as soon as she finishes Fiona’s hair. We’ll have the place to ourselves for a few minutes.”
Good. Marsha didn’t want Hillary learning Will was Ryan’s father through the Stagecoach grapevine.
“Are we doing highlights today and trimming the ends?”
“Highlights,” Marsha said.
“I’ll mix up your color.”
After Hillary disappeared, Rosie twirled Fiona’s chair and Marsha smiled at the schoolteacher. “Any summer plans, Fiona?”
“Nothing too exciting,” Fiona said. “Now how old is that son of yours?”
“Ryan turned fourteen this past February.”
“It’s not too early to discuss colleges.”
“No worries there.” Marsha laughed. “Ryan has his top four already picked out.”
Fiona closed her eyes when Rosie reached for the can of hair spray.
“Ryan would love to study abroad in England, but that’s not in the budget,” Marsha said.
