JackWillow is still visibly shaken when I lead her over to where I have the car parked. Out of the corner of my eye I see police cars approaching, so I help her into the car without a word, shutting the door behind me as I round the car to meet the policemenapproaching."Carter," the taller among the policemen, says with a large grin as he approaches. I recognise him as the town's sheriff and nod in acknowledgement."Sheriff Parker," I respond in kind, taking his outstretched hand in a firm handshake."He's back there," I say, nodding towards where I left that scum lying unconscious, and he signals to the policeman beside him, who nods and starts walking back there with a pair of silver cuffs in hand."Be careful, he had a gun," I mutter. "Have a good one, Sheriff," I nod before turning away and slipping into the car.***The road stretches ahead, dark and winding.Beside me, Willow is silent, curled into the passenger seat like she's holding herself together from the inside out.I k

It was their wedding dinner.At the head of the table, Jack sat with Willow perched on his lap, nestled in as though she belonged there—and she did.She wore white, soft and flowing, with thin straps and a modest neckline, the fabric catchin
