Chapter 20: Boone's Last Night

Boone's POV

I watched Dot carry two cups of coffee into the foaling barn, and I knew what she was going to do.

I was standing at the back of my truck with a saddle in my arms.

I could have gone after her.

I put the saddle in the bed of the truck instead, and I walked up the hill.

The Ashcrafts have buried their own on that hill for four generations.

There's an iron fence around it and a cedar tree, and you can see every barn on the place from there.

Mary Ellen's stone was the newest one.

It had been more than a year, and the grass over her still hadn't grown in right.

I took my hat off.

"She's telling her," I said. "Dot. Right now."

The wind moved the cedar.

"I didn't break it," I said. "I want you to know that. I kept it a whole year."

I'd told Hayes in his kitchen that neither one of us got to be proud.

I wasn't proud of much, but I was proud of that.
