Chapter Five

All Ethan could think was how stupid he and Jackson had been for not doing this sooner. He was done being stubborn and unforgiving. Jason and Seth were Lily’s family, and even if he had to grin and bear it through cutting glances and barely concealed hostility, he would do it. For Lily.

Jackson let the truck roll to a stop, and he put it into park and pulled the key out of the ignition. “We’re sure we want to do this?”

Ethan sighed. “Of course we want to do this. It’s been a long time coming. Plus, it fits into the overall scheme of things we’ve got going.”

That night—the fateful night by the lake—their teenage selves had driven over to this very house to apologize to Jason and Seth for what they had done, but they had been turned away without the chance to say what they had gone there to say. Without seeing Lily. He would not let that happen again.

“I guess you’re right.”

“I’m always right. You’re just too thick-headed to know it.”

“Yeah, and I’m Superman,” Jackson shot back. “Let’s go before you distract yourself with visions of grandeur. And by visions I mean delusions.”

They both levered themselves out of the truck and swung the doors shut behind them. All was quiet on the Chisholms’ front. The wind was still, and the air was heavy. Even the cicadas had stopped singing in the trees. It was almost as if they knew there was a confrontation coming and had quieted down to hear.

Ethan tugged on the collar of his shirt before raising his fist to knock on the door. Then he stepped back and rocked on his heels. It was now or never.

Jackson let out a low whistle. “I’ll bet you dinner tonight they don’t answer the door,” he said out of the corner of his mouth.

The heavy metallic sound of the deadbolt sliding back greeted them before the solid-looking door swung open.

Jason and Seth looked like they had been expecting them for quite a while. They piled out of the house and shut the front door behind them, walls of human flesh.

Jason nodded in greeting, but true to form, he did not say anything, which, naturally, made Ethan want to break the silence. He was a Southern boy, after all. But miraculously, Jason ended up beating him to the punch.

“Jackson. Ethan. What brings you here?”

“We’re—” Ethan started.

“We thought we’d invite you two out on a joyride around town so we can enjoy the weather together, man to man. Well, men.” Jackson gave the Chisholm brothers his best sparkly grin, and Ethan gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes.

They’re not women, Jackson.

Ethan cleared his throat. “What he means is that we came by to talk about a few things. Lily in particular.”

Seth looked at Ethan speculatively. “What about Lily? That you’re with her against our
