I had known coming back to Crystal Haven would be stressful, but I hadn’t counted on Mac. The last time I’d heard anything he’d been working in Saginaw, on the opposite side of the state. Aunt Vi had informed me—after my bags were unpacked—that Mac had returned to the county sheriff’s department as a detective. Because his mother still lives in Crystal Haven, I’d assumed we would run into each other eventually, but not like this. We had done an excellent job of avoiding each other when we lived a couple of hours apart in Saginaw and Ann Arbor. It would be much more difficult in a small town. My stomach reminded me that Baxter had stolen my lunch. I turned left out of the station and headed to Stark’s Bar and Grill. Alex Ferguson worked there and, provided he wasn’t on one of his “improve the menu” tirades, I could get a good burger. Alex and I had been friends since the first day of high school. As I walked, I concentrated on the list of clients I needed to see that afternoon.
