No Less Than the Journey (2010)
“It’s enough that I’m willing to believe you wouldn’t have taken things any further with Tessa. If I thought different I’d be doing more than talking to you now … but I still want you out of my house tomorrow.’ Eli was taking his customary late evening walk around town and had asked Wes to accompany him. Along the way he told Wes what he had seen through the window of Tessa’s bedroom – and expressed his strong disapproval.
More than once during the Sheriff’s diatribe Wes had opened his mouth... to speak, only to shut it again for fear of angering the other man. When he did finally speak, he said, ‘It’s your home, Eli, and of course I’ll leave if it’s what you want, but I don’t want to go away with you thinking ill of me or of Tessa. She was talking to me yesterday about how she wished she’d been able to get more schooling so she would know the meaning of a lot more words. On my way back to the house after leaving your office today I saw the man who owns the old schoolhouse.MoreLess
