Chapter 70 - April's Fool

Wyatt combed his fingers through his hair as they stepped out of April’s car and into the late-morning sun. While he wanted to be there for Sedwick, Wyatt needed to finish taking care of his grandfather first, making sure the funeral home made the arrangements the way he wanted. They had family at home in Salem who would receive Chester’s body, getting things ready for a memorial for when the circus returned home. First, however, Wyatt needed to make sure things continued at the circus for their final day in Black Hollow. He meant what he said to April; he was ready to leave the circus, seriously considering leaving it to Sedwick. What was once a fun environment had now become one of death and loss. He was over it, even if April couldn’t understand his motives.
