Chapter Seventeen

‡

“Your parents are nice,” Brinley said as they drove away from the Anderson family home. She hadn’t been happy at first about attending their traditional Sunday dinner but his family was friendly and charming. “You and your brothers look so much alike too.”

“I guess we do look like Dad. I think my sister Leann looks like Mom. She’s working in Florida right now so that’s why she wasn’t there today.”

“It sounds like you were close growing up.”

Brinley had been close to her brother and sister when they were young but as they grew older their lives seemed to diverge.

“I am with my brothers but Leann came along much later so we’re not as close as we could be. Honestly, we didn’t have much choice,” Jason laughed. “Three boys in five years stretched my parents to the limit – emotionally, physically, and financially. Dad was just starting out then and they didn’t have much money. Mom helped do the ranch books and took care of us. That wasn’t an easy task. We were typical boys and I swear one of us was in trouble at least once a day. The house we had then was small and the three of us shared a room. Mom never sent anyone to their room as a punishment because then the other two would go in there and the next thing she knew we’d be rolling around and wrestling or something. She had to get creative. Punishments were much more participatory. Cleaning out the garage or scrubbing garbage cans.”

Not once had Brinley wrestled with a sibling. She couldn’t imagine her sister even getting her clothes dirty. And her brother the muscle factory would have had her pinned in seconds.

Cleaning trash cans sounded smelly and gross.

“My mother would give us a timeout but I didn’t get punished very often. There wasn’t much trouble to get ino and I didn’t have a smart mouth or anything.”

In fact, Brinley had always tried to make her parents happy, not give them a hard time.

Jason glanced at her before returning his gaze to the road. “That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard, honey. You need to raise some hell. And I think I know just that place.”

Grinning from ear to ear, he quickly changed lanes and did a U-turn on the two lane road. Her pulse quickened at the idea of doing something exciting. Something…naughty.

“Did Logan say something to you?”

“No, should he have?”

The sun was setting behind the trees and normally she’d be in for the evening, either reading or maybe watching television. But not tonight. She was going to do something out of the ordinary and with this very extraordinary man.

“I–I just mentioned that I didn’t want to play it safe so much. I wanted to take a few chances,” she admitted. “Not anything dangerous. Just not be so predictable all the time.”

“I don’t think you’re predictable in the least,” Jason declared. “And this won’t be dangerous, I promise. We’re going to have some fun. I think we both need it after the last several days thinking you were in danger.
