CHAPTER 11

Shay anxiously awaited the arrival of Jaycee, staring out of the window of the ranch house. He actually hadn’t really meant to invite her to dinner the other day, the words had just tumbled out of him. Then, after going to her place last night, and kissing and talking and hearing her confession, he felt this fiercely protective thing inside of him growing in regards to her.

“I’m glad you invited her.” His mother walked into the room and patted his arm.

He took his mother’s hand and put his arm around her shoulders. “Me too.”

“I think what Liam has been telling me might be true.”

“And what is that?” he asked, frowning at his mother.

“She might be the one.”

It was crazy to hear his mother say that. In fact, it was way out of character for her. He stared into her blue eyes, the same eyes he looked at in the mirror every day. “Who are you?” In the past year, while he’d dated Kristie, his mother had insisted that he wasn’t ready yet, that he needed to wait.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this nervous for a girl to come over.” She flashed a grin. “You’ve never invited a girl over to meet the family so soon before.”

That was true. As he thought about Jaycee, he couldn’t help but smile. “She’s different, Mom. Except way too good for me.”

His mother scoffed. “Because she’s the Senator’s daughter?”

He turned to her. “What, do you agree?”

She burst out laughing. “No.”

“Then why didn’t you disagree?”

Her laughter faded, and she sighed. “I was really good friends with Jaycee’s mom when we were young.”

“What?” He had not expected to hear about her past.

She shrugged, her cheeks blushing. “We were best friends, me and Susan. But …”

He nudged her. “What?”

“Susan went away to Ivy League school, and she met the … Senator.”

“Okay.”

His mother went quiet.

“You’re kinda freaking me out, Mom.”

She met his eyes. “I married your father, and …”

Then Shay understood. It made sense why her father had asked if he was one of those Summerville boys. “Dad and Jaycee’s mom were a thing.”

“Well, I wouldn’t say a really serious thing, but they had dated a lot in high school. Of course, I always had a crush on your father, and when Susan left and married someone else, part of me was happy because …” She teared up. “I wanted your dad and I didn’t care if it hurt Susan or not.”

He hadn’t realized that all of this would affect her so much. His heart thumped. It always amazed him how crazy small towns were. How incestuous, in a way. But this … he’d never seen this coming. “Dad is so in love with you.” He thought of how his father would always grab her and dance with her.

She let out a light laugh. “Yes, we are in love, but everyone has a first love.”

“Mom.”

“Nothing. It’s the past. I have to finish dinner.” She moved out of the room.

Just then, the crunch of gravel on the driveway alerted them that someone was pulling in.
