HARPER AND JARED were the last to make it inside, grabbing several sleeping bags and the pile of pilfered files from the registration office before racing into the asylum under a deluge of rain. They were soaked when they hit the foyer. Zander, however, had grabbed their bags and they both had changes of clothes inside that were not wet.

Shawn set about hanging the sleeping bags over benches and chairs so they would dry while Jared and Harper began peeling off sticky items of clothing.

“Turn around,” Jared ordered when Finn, Steve, and Michael turned their interested faces in Harper’s direction as she tackled her wet jeans.

“I hardly think we’re looking in a nefarious manner,” Michael scoffed.

“Turn around or I’ll pop you in the face,” Jared growled, his patience fraying. “I’m already not happy about you sitting inside while everyone else did the work to gather the provisions.”

“Someone had to stay with Molly,” Michael argued.

“You made me stay with you because you didn’t want to go outside … or be left alone,” Molly argued.

Jared briefly rested a hand on Molly’s shoulder to calm her. He’d already figured that out himself. “It’s okay. Can you help Harper change her clothes, though? I will make sure that no one is looking from this side.”

Molly flashed a thumbs-up. “Got it.”

Jared fixed his attention on Michael, practically daring the man to so much as glance in Harper’s direction as she stripped. Jared considered taking her into another room, but ultimately decided against it because he didn’t want to isolate her. “If you even think of looking at her … .”

“I hardly think I’m some sort of demented pervert,” Michael scoffed. “I happen to be quite popular with women on my own. I don’t need to go after another man’s girlfriend. I don’t need to go after anyone, for that matter. People always come after me.”

Jared wasn’t convinced. “If you look at her, I’m going to make you cry in front of your workers. I’m just warning you now.”

“Cry?” Michael was confused. “How are you going to do that?”

“I believe he’s going to use his fists,” Finn said, heaving out a sigh as he set down his camera and lowered himself into one of the uncomfortable wooden chairs near the wall. The chair was rickety and ugly, but it was a much better option than anything with fabric. “Do you think we’re stuck inside all night?”

“I think that’s probably the case,” Jared confirmed, trying to tune out Molly’s murmurs as she aided Harper. “Even if the storm blows over, the ground is going to be wet and the tents are bound to be blown all over the place. Some of them might end up in the water and the others will be tattered.”

“So you want to sleep inside?” Shawn pushed Zander so their backs were to Harper and Molly, but they were spread out enough – shoulder to shoulder with Jared – that they cut off almost all view of Harper as she changed. “Do you
