What the hell am I doing right now?

That question went through my head over and over and over again.

Right behind my seat was the car seat with Elijah’s baby in it.

And Elijah next to me, driving us back to his father’s house. Or whatever he wanted to call that house. I knew he hated it being called his home. It was just the place where he slept. And had been for a while now. His plan to come to Hidden and stir shit up had worked better than he thought. Except it was for misguided reasons.

Something came over me at Cherry’s. As we all hung out, talked, laughed, and gave all of our attention to Cecily. She was a beautiful baby. This perfect, little ball of life. With an attitude that was going to drive Elijah crazy for the rest of his life. Which in a way made me smile. He deserved every ounce of sass that Cecily could muster up and give him.

I had no idea what that meant for me or for me and Elijah, but there was only one way to find out.

He had been there for me when I needed him.

My instinct every time something went wrong was to call him. Was to need him. Was to want him. And he had been there each and every time. Without hesitation either.

And when he said he loved me, I believed him.

I loved him too.

Nobody did anything wrong… maybe not even Rory.

Even still, the anger that was in both Elijah and I was real. And raw.

But together, it subsided.

It stayed quiet enough that a sense of normal went through me.

“Are you sure about this?” Elijah asked as he pulled into the driveway of his father’s house.

“Yeah,” I said. “I mean, even if Rory is here, so what, right? I promise I won’t beat her up. And I won’t take rocks or baseball bats or golf clubs to anyone’s car.”

“Swear on your life?” Elijah asked.

“Pinky swear,” I said, sticking out my left pinky.

Elijah hooked his pinky to mine and pulled at me.

We met in the middle of the front seat and kissed.

He then looked at the massive house and sighed. “The only good thing about this place is that I can go unseen. They hate me so much they’ll do anything to avoid me.”

“Don’t say that.”

Elijah looked at me. “Really?”

“I know,” I said. “Sorry. I just can’t stand the idea that your father acts the way he does. Rosemary too. You did nothing wrong. He did the wrong thing. He’s the one who cheated…” I let my voice trail off and Elijah started to grin. “What?”

“You really do love me, babe.”

“Ohgod,” I said.

I opened the door and climbed out.

I went to the backseat and opened the door.

Cecily was sound asleep.

Elijah shut his door hard, Cecily jumped but stayed asleep.

When he came around the back of the SUV, I put my finger to my lips.

“She’s sleeping,” I whispered.

“Really?” he asked, grinning.

“Yeah,” I said. “Look.”

Elijah stared into the car seat and the look in his eyes hit my heart hard.
