Between work and helping my dad around my parents’ house in preparation for Jason and Mercy’s wedding, I was dog dick tired. We’d just rehung all of the shutters my mom had wanted painted when I finished telling my dad what Douchebag of The Century Travis had done to Tuesday. His reaction was no less violent than mine.

I’d seen my dad pretty pissed over the years, but upon hearing about Tuesday’s troubles his reaction had to have been in the top five. Nick had been furious, too, and promised to look into the police reports.

“What the fuck?” Dad’s face was red, and it wasn’t from the heat of a day spent busting our asses for Mom.

“I talked to Ethan, and he told me almost the same thing Tuesday did. It’s not against the law to send someone flowers. And there isn’t much he can do about the note either. Even if he knew who wrote it. Best he could do would be trespassing, and if he could track down the person and explain to them Tuesday doesn’t want to have contact, he’d have to wait until they did something else for it to even be harassment.”

My dad continued to stare at me, blatant disgust was turning into determination. “I’ll have Brady head over to Tuesday’s today and install cameras. If nothing else, we’ll have eyes on her house.”

Brady was one of the men my dad and uncles had working for them. When my dad, Uncle Levi, Uncle Lenox, and Uncle Jasper had retired from the Army they’d started a consulting and security company. They trained the local PD and SWAT teams on tactical shooting and maneuvers. They’d also branched out into private security plans and alarm systems. Over the years they’d built a reputation for being the best, therefore, people paid top dollar for their services.

“I’d appreciate that, but she’s gonna have a shit hemorrhage. I think it’s best if I’m there when Brady shows.”

“We’re done here. I’ll call Brady and the two of you can go over there.”

“I’m giving her time,” I explained.

“Giving who time?” Quinn Walker asked, strolling our way.

Shit. I’d been so wrapped up talking with my dad, I hadn’t heard her come out the front door. Quinn wasn’t only Jason’s sister, she was also my best friend. Always had been, since we were toddlers running around causing havoc. I hadn’t told her about Tuesday. None of it. Quinn was a spitfire and hugely protective over those she loved. While Tuesday and I were battling it out, I didn’t want Quinn involved.

“Tuesday,” my dad answered.

Fuck.

“Tuesday?” Quinn cut her eyes to me. “Mercy’s friend? What are you talking about?”

Before I thought better of it, my dirty, paint covered hands scrubbed over my face.

“Nothing—”

“Are you dumb?” she blurted, and my dad chuckled.

“Come again?”

“Dumb, Jack. You know, stupid. Or do you just think I am? If you think any of us missed you looking at Tuesday like she was a juicy ribeye, you’re flat out a moron.”

“Well, tell me how you really feel,” I muttered.
