In the office, Rick ran the numbers four times. The accounts were in order, he just couldn’t think straight. He shut down the computer and sat before the blank screen. Morgan was in rare form. Reading by the fireside? It surprised him Morgan could still read. Was there no limit to his efforts? He never worked so hard for so little reward. Didn’t he see?

Rick rubbed his eyes. Or was he the one who had it wrong? He pictured Noelle tucked into Morgan’s arm. It did seem to be working at last. Morgan was wearing her down, little by little, and maybe she’d meant it that way all along. Maybe she knew the harder Morgan had to fight the more he’d want the prize. Maybe it was her game as much as his. But Rick felt a check in his spirit—or was it his pride? Or something else?

Morgan was hooked, that was certain. To fly out for one night just to see she was all right—or had he other plans? Would Morgan disregard the house rules? Given the chance, Morgan would disregard anything.

Rick pulled the dust cover over the monitor. He was almost glad for Noelle’s injuries that kept her in the open where he could watch, listen. He shook his head. Was it only a few days ago he’d carried her off the mountain, limp and trembling in his arms? His fault, yes, but he’d done the best he could to right it, covered her bill, spent hours at her hospital bedside, made a comfortable place for her where he’d know what she needed.

And then he had carried her home, seen her joy and gratitude, felt his heart swell at having her back inside his walls. But it had certainly been downhill from there. First his fruitless attempt to get answers, then Morgan’s return to the scene.

He dropped his head to his palms. God, why did you bring her here?

What is your purpose? Don’t you know I’m only a man? If you want me to help her I’m willing, but don’t make me choose. He clenched his fists against his forehead. Morgan is my brother.
