Jessica finished her food and got up to pay the cafe owner. She handed him the money, thanked him again for the food, and left. Outside, she looked around her, the lights were off in the sheriff's office so she knew that Chase had gone home. The air was cool and pleasant, the had disappeared over the horizon. Her town was quieting down as many headed to bed.

She thought of going back to the stables to check on the horses, but she knew Monty could take care of them. She trusted him, it was more that some nights, no matter how tired she was, she was still edgy. The town was silent and there was nothing to take care of, she might as well head home.
