Alyssa had missed Brendan more than she’d ever admit to anyone, and knowing that left a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She didn’t want to miss him. Or care one little bit about him. She had a wonderful man now, someone she trusted not to hurt her the way Brendan did. Someone who wouldn’t walk away from her in front of the entire town.

“Here.” She led him into the little break room in back of the store and busied herself with filling the coffeepot. “What do you want to talk to me about?” She wished she had a button she could push, an invisible shield of sorts—something to protect her heart from whatever he had to say. He sat down and motioned for her to join him at the table.

Before she could take a seat, Alyssa felt her phone vibrating in her coat pocket just as Brendan’s phone started ringing. She recognized his ring tone—“Kokomo,” by the Beach Boys. Brendan loved the beach as much as Alyssa did, and as her phone continued to vibrate, she thought of the many trips they had taken to Galveston, Freeport, and Port Aransas. She was lost in memories when she finally reached for her phone. It had already gone to voicemail. When she looked at Brendan, she knew something was wrong, so she waited until he hung up.

“What is it? What’s wrong?” Alyssa took a step closer to him. “Is your mom okay?”

Brendan stood up and paced the small room. “That was my dad again.” The color had drained from his face. “Two people have already died in car accidents between here and Bastrop.”

Alyssa checked her voicemail as her heart pounded in her chest. How could she have missed a call from Dalton? She was mad at herself for allowing Brendan to distract her. But relief washed over her when she heard Dalton’s voice. He told her not to get on the road at all. Begged her not to. He said he was sliding all over the place.

She hit End on her phone and put it in her pocket. When she looked up, Brendan was staring at her. She met his gaze, then quickly looked away.

How long could she stay cooped up with Brendan before he saw right through her?
