to be even easier than he’d thought. “A friend. Do I know this friend?”
    Will gave him that glowering, irritated glare.
    Logan stopped smiling. He thought he managed to keep the pleased smirk on his face. Or mostly. Twenty minutes later, he watched as Will mounted the old gelding and headed back to his home.
    “You’re up to something.”
    Logan looked up to find Dustin watching him with knowing eyes. “Up to what?”
    Dustin shrugged. “Beats the hell out of me but you’re up to something. How come I’m going to be helping Bo out by my lonesome?”
    “He’s got stable hands. They’ll be helping.” He didn’t say anything about Bo not being around. Dusty was a smart guy. He’d put two and two together soon enough.
    A small, satisfied smile curled Dusty’s lips. Dusty’s summery blue eyes darkened when he was mad or thinking. He wasn’t pissed off right now so that dark blue could signify a problem. “Saw you talking to Bo yesterday. Finally. What did you two talk about?”
    In a level voice, he replied, “Nothing you need to worry about.”
    The smirk on his younger brother’s face just got wider. “Really. So, is she ready for her wedding?”
    “You’d have to ask her,” Logan replied easily.
    “Hmmm. Maybe I’ll do that when I see her tomorrow.”
    Logan smiled. “Yeah. You do that.”

    Sleep didn’t come easy for Bo. Her dad had left in the middle of the day, leaving a note on the counter while she was in town stocking up on film, books and chocolate. Extra on the chocolate. She needed the fortification right now. Chocolate didn’t solve the problems but it kept her from biting her nails down to the quick while she worried.
    Of course, if she wasn’t careful, she wouldn’t fit into her wedding dress. Lying in her bed, she stared up into the darkness and grinned. I ’ m sorry , David . I can ’ t marry you . I ate myself out of a dress . No hard feelings ?
    But as quick as the lighthearted thought came, it passed. Was she really having that many doubts? The razor-winged butterflies jumping in her belly certainly seemed to think so. With all these doubts, was she really doing the right thing or just the convenient thing, going through with this wedding?
    She tried to picture herself with David in another year. Ten. But none of the images ever came into focus. Even the thought of their upcoming honeymoon in Spain just wouldn’t come. If she couldn’t even imagine her wedding night, all of two weeks from now, there was no way she could picture a year or five years from now.
    Bo closed her eyes and imagined herself in her dress. It was a fairy tale princess of a dress—silk and tulle and lace. She could see herself wearing it. But what she couldn’t see was herself walking down the aisle to stand in front of two hundred people while she said her vows to David.
    When she tried to make herself see the groom, his face just wouldn’t come to her. She knew what he looked like—dark hair, dark eyes, one of those sweet, boy-next-door smiles that drove women nuts. Bo adored his smile.
    But his face just wasn’t clear. The only face she could see clearly was Logan’s. Bo groaned and buried her face in her hands. “What am I doing?”
    But Bo had absolutely no clue. David’s marriage proposal had been spur of the moment, said almost jokingly. Bo’s response had been given in the same tone. Sure , I ’ ll marry you . You ’ re easy to be around .
    He was. She didn’t feel as on guard with him, though she suspected part of that was because he just couldn’t get in close enough to hurt. She hadn’t really been that serious but then he showed up the next day with a ring. His dark brown eyes had been gentle and full of understanding as he said, “I know we were mostly joking…but…” his voice trailed off and he pulled the ring out of his pocket. “I want to marry you, Bo.”
    Bo had said yes . At the time, she’d meant it.
    Now? Now she just didn’t know. She didn’t know
