      Looking at the dusty fire pit, she said, “Beau will make this up to you.”

      “That’s not necessary.”

      “It is. This is your land. He needs to take responsibility for his actions.” She lifted the twenty-two into the crook of her arm. “Do you need help around your place? Maybe with finishing the pier?”

      The dog stood at his side, ready for direction from her master, who laid a hand on her head. “If working off his consequences is what you want, then, yeah, I could put him to work.”

      “Fine. I’ll have him there around nine tomorrow.” Saturday.

      She headed the way they had come, back through the trees, back to Ethan’s house and her truck, back to her solitary memories, while the imprint of his hand on hers burned other memories into her skin.

      And a history of regret.
