Chapter 71

Clay had seriously messed up. He’d rolled out of bed early, the events of yesterday playing over and over in his mind. He’d acted like a total idiot with her. He owed her an apology—and he didn’t want it to be on TSP ground. It should be on her home turf. She deserved that much.

Bert nodded at him when Clay walked in the back door. “Breakfast in fifteen minutes. She’s out at the ridge. She has something on her mind. I suspect you do, too.”

“I’ll head out there in a minute.” And say what, he wasn’t sure. That he was sorry was the first thing. Anything else he’d just play by ear.

Jake rolled into the room. Instead of the greeting he expected, his friend shot him a look. One that told Clay Jake knew exactly how Clay had messed up. “Dad, can you take Liam for a minute? Clay and I need to have a talk.”

“Right. I’m sure you’ll know exactly what to say. Fifteen minutes. I’ve made Bailey’s favorite. Seems some people think we’ve been neglecting her.” Bert had a touch of anger in his words. Clay shot him a look. Bert just waved his hand then took Liam. “Veri called late last night. Worried about Bailey...and you. How’s the head?”

“Hard as a rock.”

“That’s the truth. Something’s got our girl upset. I’m assuming it’s more than just the case you’re working.” Bert never had been one to shy around what he wanted to say.

“I’ll handle it.” Three pairs of accusing green eyes stared at him. Even the baby seemed to blame Clay for whatever Bailey was upset about, scowling at Clay and kicking his feet.

Perceptive kid.

“First...” Jake said, meaningfully. “My office?”

Clay didn’t like taking orders from anyone. But he and Jake—Jake was the closest thing to a brother Clay would ever have. That came with obligations.

One of those obligations was listening to what the other man had to say.
