Brett had taken Cory back to her hotel and was set to pick her up soon. After catching a couple of hours of sleep, he showered and downed a cup of scalding coffee. She’d get the full package introduction into the other side of his life today. Originally, he’d thought no hidden games when he’d decided to open the door to his past and his whole world. He’d let her into his life and if she stayed, then there’d be no mysteries.

Unlike his engagement, where he’d promised to marry a woman who didn’t know much about his past, what his days were like, and what he saw as his future. Danielle had met his mother, and that had gone over well enough—or so he’d thought at the time. In retrospect, he realized the polite chitchat between his mom and his ex-fiancée had lacked the chaos, warmth, and worry that went through Cory’s family. Hard to compare the interactions between his ex-fiancée and his mom with that of a large, bustling family, but he now understood, at the foundation level, it wasn’t the same. He wasn’t looking to repeat the family furnace that made up Cory’s life, but he had his eyes wide open. He knew it was reasonable to expect the woman in his life to be genuinely concerned and connected to him, and that meant to his mom, too.

“Good morning, Brett.” The greeting rang out inside the lobby. He turned to see a group of women coming toward him. He recognized Lauren from the group and waved, glancing around the lobby to see if Cory was somewhere near.

“Hey, how’s it going?” he responded.

“She’s still upstairs.” One of the other women laughed.

“Well, I’d better get up there. Don’t want to be late.”

“You’ve got time. It’s not nine yet.” Lauren said, her face serious. “Heard you were taking Cory around town.”

“Yep. You all checking out?” he asked.

“And going back home. Feels like we’ve been here a while.”

He held out his hand. “It was good meeting you all.”

The women surrounded him and Lauren pushed aside his hand. “That’s not how we say goodbye.” They all burst forward, pushing him backward with their enthusiasm. High pitched squeals, thumps to his back, and more than a few words of encouragement and good lucks were shared.

“Thanks, ladies,” he said, his head still swimming in the profusion of color and perfume.

“Don’t be a stranger. We’re not that far away from Dallas,” Lauren winked. “Cory’s a hard nut, but worth the effort.”

He grinned. “Hopefully, I’ll check out Annona sooner than later.” He didn’t mention he’d be there come tonight. Crossing the lobby, he almost stopped dead in his tracks.

“Well, look at what the cat’s dragged in.” The syrupy voice of Cory’s cousin sent a jerk of irritation up his spine. Ashley walked directly in front of him, cellphone in hand. She acted as though she’d been awarded the key to the city.

“Hello.” Guardedly, he kept his distance. He didn’t intend to trade anything more than this casual greeting.
