Two hours later, Dust sat next to Sammy on one of the mats in the locker room. The others were sitting around it as well. In the center, a fire burned inside the rock circle. It was just enough to keep the chill out of the room.
Raymond had surprised everyone by pulling out a harmonica. He was playing several old tunes, some of which Dust didn’t know. Todd was lying with his head on Josie’s lap, his eyes growing heavier as the night wore on. What surprised Dust the most was that Denise was sitting close to Randolph. Martha was sitting beside Raymond while Beau was doing a perimeter check.
“That was nice, Raymond,” Martha replied when the melody faded. “I never knew you played so well. I heard you at some of the different functions, but it never dawned on me that you were so good.”
