A Maverick's Heart. Roz Denny Fox
left the town behind and their talk turned to travel and other things.

“DID YOU FEED GHOST?” Lila asked Rory after she backed the Cherokee around and headed down the lane. “And did you secure the gate to keep him on our side of the house? We don’t need him getting out again like he did last night.”
“I pulled on the knob when I saw you and Seth come out of the barn. Did he say anything to you about helping me learn to throw and catch?” Rory asked, leaning forward to stare at his mother.
Her eyes sought his in the rearview mirror. “Helping you...no. Why would he?”
Rory slumped in his seat, clasping his old mitt and baseball. “I dunno.” Then he mumbled, “Zeke said Seth could give me tips on account’a he got awards and trophies playing baseball. He was so good he had scouts looking at him to play for the pros.”
“Really? Zeke actually said Seth was that good?”
“Yep. He only told me he played on a city team when he was my age. But I was wishing he’d talk to you about helping me get better.”
“Hmm. I’m sorry, honey. He didn’t. And unless he does, don’t you go bugging a guest, okay? But, gosh, I wonder if he’s qualified to teach high school and really coach baseball.”
“Huh? Kemper’s dad never played ball, but he plays catch with Kemper and teaches him to bat better.”
“Well, I heard at the café that the high school coach plans to retire. I think he teaches, too. I just wondered if Seth might be interested.”
“Why?”
Lila hid a smile. “Uh, no reason other than probably Zeke would love to have his twin settle in the area.” No way would she admit to her son that Seth Maxwell was about the nicest single guy to hit Snowy Owl Crossing in forever.
“I s’pose. If he helped me, I’d like it, too,” Rory said.
