She thought of all the things she wanted to say to her mother and was surprised when the only words that came out were “I’m divorcing Wade.”

“You don’t want to do that.”

“You don’t want me to do that, you mean. Or is it Huck who wants me to stay with his son?”

“Huck and I agree that the two of you need to work some things out. You two married just keeps things...simple.”

“Simple for you since you’re apparently in business with his father.”

Her mother took a step toward her. “I won’t hear any more about this. What are you doin’ here, anyway? You should be home waiting for your husband. No wonder he has to take a hand to you.”

Abby heard herself laugh, an odd sound down in the root cellar. “It’s not going to work, Mother. All I’ve ever wanted was you to like me if not love me. I tried to do what you asked of me, thinking that one day...” She shook her head. “Don’t worry. I’m not going to turn in your little...operation or snitch on the deputy. Knowing Huck, he’d wiggle out of it and let you fry. But as for you and me?” She shook her head again and turned to leave.
