Chapter Twenty-Seven

WHEN HE’D INVITED SARAH TO the house, Owen had acknowledged in the back of his mind that he might have to discuss sensitive topics. When she picked up on the state of his old room, he hadn’t been that surprised. After all, her intelligence and empathy were part of what had drawn him to her in the first place. But he’d forgotten about the family tree.

So when he came out of the kitchen to find Sarah with her mouth open in shock, he was flummoxed. He knew he was staring at her like an idiot, but he couldn’t help it. He wasn’t ready to tell her about his life as H. O. McLemore. Whether he was ready or not, though, went out the window.

“I guess we need to talk.” Edging closer, he gestured with the icy cold bottles. “Why don’t we go to the side porch? It’s screened in.”

“That’s probably a good idea.” She preceded him through the living room and out the door. Knowing he’d eventually be bringing her to the house, Owen had cleaned the porch in preparation. He’d even gone so far as to purchase new cushions for the swing, and as they sat down, he wondered if that effort had been for nothing.
