Chapter 17: Say It to Her Face
Two deputies walked Rusty Cobb into the clubhouse in handcuffs.
The room was full.
Every man who owed him a beer, a favor or a ride home stood in a ring around the pool table, and no one said a word.
I sat on a bar stool by the door with my feet on a second stool, because Faye would not let me stand.
Boone stood across from me with his taped ribs and his bloody shirt.
The sheriff himself had come, a tall gray man with a hat he did not take off.
"Five minutes," he said to the room. "She asked for this, and I owe Boone Kilgore a favor. Cobb, say what you came to say."
Rusty's eyes went around the ring.
He was looking for one friendly face.
Nobody gave him one.
"You want the cash box," he said. "It's there."
A deputy set the steel box on the pool table.
Birdie opened it, counted with her thumb, and nodded at the room.
"All of it. And the book. And the deed."
A sound went through the men.
"Say the rest," I said.
Rusty turned his head and found me.
"The rest of what, Ro?"
"The thing you told Boone a month before our wedding."
His jaw set.
"I said I'd sign something. I never said I'd perform."
"Then perform," Boone said.
His voice was low and level, and it made Rusty look at him for the first time.
"You stood at my wedding with the ring in your pocket, and you knew."
"Boone."
"Every Christmas you ate at her table. You held my daughter at her baptism."
"I was trying to protect you."
"From what?"
"From her."
"She was an eighteen-year-old girl framing a roof for her father."
