“Shit,” Jake muttered out loud. Putting Anna and Cara in the same room together wasn’t going to go over real well. Everybody knew that. He doubted they had seen each other in the past eleven years, and if Em called Tommy for help, it only meant the little reunion wasn’t a happy one.

“Maybe it’s not that bad,” Bradley proclaimed from the backseat. He’d had a few too many beers and wasn’t thinking all too clearly at the moment. That was probably why he couldn’t remember the reason those two women in the same room was a very bad idea.

Tommy whipped the truck carelessly in the drive, almost taking out his mailbox and a few parked cars parked along the side of the road. Jake jumped out of the truck before Tommy put it in park. He needed to get in there—now.

“Good grief, Jake, you’d think something bad was going on.” Bradley had somehow made it out of the truck without stumbling and was on Jake’s heels.

“Bradley, why don’t you just shut the fuck up?”

“Fine.”

Jake flung the door open. The only way one would notice it was a bachelorette party was by the amount of penis decorations. Except for the whispers, there were no other sounds in the room. All heads looked up as he entered, followed by Bradley and Tommy.

“Now, this is a party. I should’ve just hung out with the ladies. Why didn’t we do something like this?” Bradley apparently was amused with the penises.

The absence of loud music and men-bashing let him know everything he needed to know. Anna had done something. He knew Cara was regretful for what she and he had done so long ago, so his only guess was that Anna was drunk and confronted Cara. This was his fault. Things were out of hand because of the mistakes he’d made. The Cara thing was a way overdue conversation. And eventually Anna was going to have to listen to him.

“Where is she?” he asked the first woman he encountered. She didn’t say a word, just pointed him toward the kitchen.

He could hear someone crying and another woman trying to soothe her. Stopping himself suddenly, he saw her. She looked a mess. Her head was lying on Em’s shoulder, and her hair looked like bees had made a permanent home in it. He didn’t know what to do. Should he run to her? The only thing he knew he couldn’t do was leave her. That was not an option.

Anna raised her head, as if sensing someone else had entered the room. He couldn’t tell from her blank stare if she was relieved to see him. It didn’t matter to him. Whether she liked it or not, he was going to be there for her.
