CHAPTER THIRTEEN

DAN

He left James at the bar with Reese, trusting that his brother would take care of her. He hoped that he would be back before the bar closed, but it was hard to tell how things would go at these parties. Sometimes the women got all crazy and wanted him stay and party with them. Usually he found an excuse to bail, but more often than not it was hard to get away.

First he went home to shower and change. The house was quiet and undisturbed, as it always was. His place was nothing like the farmhouse, which was almost always bustling with activity. It was actually one of the reasons he was glad he had his own place. Sometimes you just needed the silence.

After his shower, he dressed in regular clothes, jeans and a tee shirt, and packed his duffle with the supplies he needed for the party. After that was squared away, he made a round of the house to make sure everything was turned off, even though he hadn’t been there much. His last stop was the kitchen, where he selected one of the bottles from the cabinet and refilled his flask. Once the flask was full, he took a long pull straight from the bottle.

Reese was right, about everything, and it made him feel like an even bigger loser. Maybe, just maybe, he should at least try to cut down on the booze. He knew his family didn’t like it and that should be enough reason, but so far it hadn’t been enough to make him quit.

It hurt when he thought about Anna and how their life was before she died. It hurt to think about what life would have been like in the future, had she not been murdered. He just wanted those thoughts to go away and the alcohol made it fade into the background, even if it didn’t completely go away.

He returned the bottle to the cabinet, tucked the flask into the usual pocket of his coat, and with that, all thoughts about quitting were gone … at least for the moment.

Before he headed out to work, he backtracked into town. He had made sure that he left early enough that he would have enough time to stop at the farmhouse and fill the family in on what was going on with Reese.

Several cars were in the driveway when he arrived. He crunched over the gravel drive and parked behind Greg’s beat up old Escort. He didn’t have a whole lot of time, so he jogged up the stairs and let himself into the house.

Greg, Liv, Lucy, Jack, Aiden, Steph and Ethan were all sitting in front of the television watching a movie that looked like it was about pirates, from what he could see. They even had a giant bowl of popcorn on the coffee table in front of them.

“Seriously?” He shook his head as he observed them. “How can you guys just be sitting around watching a movie with all that has been going on?”

Liv glanced up at him.
