BRECK

We walk out of the Featherbone holding hands.

“I love that idea, Breck! And I’d love to help, any way I can. I can make informational booklets and website info. You name it and I’ll do it.”

I kiss her cheek. “Thanks. I’ll see what Cole and Luke think and once I have their approval, I can get rolling.” I glance toward the truck, but I skid to a stop. “Grace?”

She raises her head from her phone. “Hi, Breck.”

Tilly’s grip tightens on my hand and I squeeze it back. Grace is no threat to us, she knows this. Grace is a threat to my baby brother. My instincts are to bombard her with questions, but something has changed in me. I want to listen to her and understand her.

Weird.

“How long have you been back?”

“Not long.” Her gaze won’t meet mine.

“Have you seen Luke?”

She shakes her head almost imperceptibly.

I raise Tilly’s hand and kiss the back. “Can you give us a moment?”

“I’ll go start the truck and get it warmed up.” Tilly passes by Grace. “Welcome home, Grace.”

Grace smiles at her. “Nice to see you and… congratulations.”

Tilly chuckles. “Thanks.”

As soon as I hear the door to Tilly’s truck close—she insisted on driving and as long as we’re together I could care less who drives—I’m shaking my head trying to figure out where to start.

“Where’d you go?” I ask, not that it’s the most important thing. I hold up a hand. “First…” I step forward and wrap my arms around her. “Grace… we were worried about you. Glad you’re safe and back.”

Her body hiccups against me and I know she’s going to break if we don’t keep this much more business-like and with an apron in her hand, I’m sure she has places to be.

“Are you going to contact Luke?”

“I don’t know if I can…or should.”

“Yes, you should. And Grace, you can. If you could walk away after what you guys had, you have guts.”

“I didn’t walk. I ran.”

That was true, but I could see the fear and remorse in her eyes. I didn’t need to confirm the truth.

“I don’t need to know why, but I’m asking you to please text him. Just find a way to let him know that you’re okay.”

“Please don’t tell him I’m back. I’m not ready. I know he’s going to be mad.”

I step back. “He’s not mad. I know that fact like I know Peacock Ridge. Grace, I heard the man cry himself to sleep. He’s broken. You broke him.”

“I know. I don’t regret leaving, but I regret what it did to him. I didn’t think and I did it all wrong.”

“Do you want to be back with him?”

“Do you think he’ll have me?”

I actually didn’t think… I knew. But there was a tiny chance, miniscule chance that I could be wrong. Luke was so broken, so I wouldn’t guarantee her. Luke was known for being the most emotional of all of us, plus, the most untrusting and the most impetuous. He and Grace were very similar. I wondered if that was part of the issue.
