Chapter 18: What Luke Knew
Luke came up the path two minutes after the car was gone.
He'd put on his khakis and a clean farm T-shirt and the cracked glasses.
He'd laced Grandpa's boots all the way up, like he was going to work.
He stopped on the other side of the counter.
The regulars had gone.
It was just us and the coffee and the hand pies.
"What did he say?" he asked.
"He offered three million and a job baking in his lobby."
"And?"
"I said no." I wiped the counter that didn't need wiping. "He called me the pie girl. In front of the brothers."
Luke closed his eyes.
"And then he said you'd do whatever a deal needs. And he looked at your cabin when he said it."
"Libby."
"Was last night part of a deal?"
"No."
He said it instantly.
He didn't use any voice at all.
"That's a lie of his," he said. "That one's a lie."
"Then here's the other thing he said."
I put the rag down.
"Who signed the deposit check, Luke?"
He didn't look away.
I'll give him that, then and now.
