Weathered face.
Rancher through and through.
Sadie's father.
He spotted me instantly.
His gaze moved from me to the disappearing trailer.
Then back again.
A slow smile appeared.
I immediately didn't trust it.
"Morning, Beast."
"Morning."
"You standing out here waiting for my daughter again?"
I sighed.
"No."
"Uh huh."
The old man took a sip of coffee.
"I remember when you were better at lying."
I folded my arms.
He laughed.
Unfortunately.
I liked Hank.
Always had.
Made arguing difficult.
"Need something?" he asked.
"Just one question."
His smile faded slightly.
That got my attention.
"What kind of question?"
"Gerald."
The reaction was instant.
Gone was the amused rancher.
