Chapter 11

“Wait, why do you want a lightbar on your four-wheeler?” Kyle asked sleepily.

“I need to be able to see better at night,” Kellen said as she drove to work the next morning. “Stevie came up with a great idea. After dark, I’m gonna drive through the woods to a meeting spot that isn’t far from the cottage and pick her up. We don’t have to worry about anyone seeing her coming to my place. I just left Dravon’s Motor Sports where I bought the bar. All I need you to do is install it today between jobs, and I will owe you a big fat favor.”

Kyle opened one eye and looked at his bedside clock. “You’re better at wiring than I am.”

“I have a full day at the office, plus at lunch, I have to meet Chance to look at a tree to see if we can save it. Please do me this favor.”

“I got your back. The first date went well, huh?” Kyle asked with a smile.

“It really did. Kyle, she’s the—”

“Don’t say it! You might jinx it. Kell, do you need me to tell you all the reasons you should slow your roll, starting with she’s never been with a woman?”

“I know all the reasons,” Kellen retorted. “Don’t blow me shit.”

“All right, don’t get all salty. Did y’all discuss a timeframe for when y’all might let it out of the bag that you’re dating?”

“We both agreed that we’d like to see each other a while secretly. I know she has a lot at stake, and I want her to be absolutely sure about us before she takes that leap with her family. My head isn’t completely in the clouds, I am thinking logically.”

“That’s good, give yourselves some time, even if it’s a pain in the ass,” Kyle said with a yawn. “Looking back on it, I should’ve been more patient with Trent and him telling his dad. I’d been out for so long it was hard to be secretive again. Everyone knew I was gay, so if we were seen in public, a lot of people would start talking, and it would get back to Jack. We were having to do just what you’re doing, hiding. As my feelings for him grew, so did my fear that he’d get comfortable having me in the closet with him. You and Stevie are in a closet within a closet with all this family bullshit.”

“I’m willing to give her all the time she needs. I’m not in any hurry to crush Walt, either. I know he’s gonna feel like I’ve betrayed him, and that breaks my heart.”

“Here’s the deal, he doesn’t want to hurt you, either. If you fall for Stevie and you make each other truly happy, he’ll eventually allow himself to see past his Sealy hatred and recognize what she means to you. I think he’ll open his mind where Stevie is concerned, but he ain’t ever gonna have a few beers and share fishing stories with her dad.
